USC Fall 2010 (2 Viewers)

[psufilmgirl]

I don't think we'll here til til like the beginning to middle of March. I think if they do calls, that will happen in February.

The good thing is that we have Robot back and he just LOVESSSSSSSSSSSSS to call the admissions office, hahahahahaha.

Welcome to the dark side Robot, glad to see you!

OK. A little over two weeks of gut-wrenching anxiety and my problem is (largely) solved. I was asked to re-submit my materials and was told that my application would be reviewed.

This is not the excitement I was expecting, but it's better than the nebulous region of not knowing whether or not I could have made it. At least now, come the end of February, I'll know if I'm moving out to LA as a future Starkie or just as a future applicant to the Stark program.

Robot - have you re-submitted your application for Fall 2010 (after receiving notification about the Spring 2010 wait list)? I replied to the form email (informing them that I would like to re-apply) but have not received any information about how to do so.

 

[robot_m]

Yeah, I just got the email with the form we're supposed to submit a few hours ago. I'm going to resubmit, but I want to submit a new visual sample, so I responded to the email asking if I can submit a new visual sample without having to resubmit all the rest of the supplemental materials.

 

[psufilmgirl]

Robot, I emailed them the new writing with the link to the visual sample. I bet you could just reattach your old stuff to that email.

Does USC require the GRE for MFA in filmmaking. I have a 3.32 at Washington State University. I also studied Broadcast Production. Here is the work I produced during college. You can check it out at richardlutz.com. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I copied and pasted this from Chapman's website.

-----------------------------------------------

A GRE is not required if your GPA in the last 60 semester or 90 quarter credits of your bachelor's degree is 3.0 or better. If your GPA is 2.5 to 2.99, then you must submit a GRE score. A minimum score of 490 on the verbal section and 4.5 on the analytical writing section is required.

I applied for Stark (fall 2010) and didn't schedule an "optional" interview.

As I read through this site I'm noticing a correlation between acceptance, and interviewing... which, yes, makes logical sense.

So my question is... should I be hyperventilating?

 

[Silverlenz]

No problem. There are only a few schools that flat out require the GRE and I didn't apply to any of them lol.

Zack-

I applied for Stark last year and went out for an interview. I didn't get in. They took about half in foreign students, according to this forum. So, I would worry more if you are American than if you didn't go for an interview.

Arash: There's still time for Chapman! Priority deadline is February 1, but there's a rolling deadline after that all the way up to May 1.

 

[robot_m]

Am I the only one that had fun taking the GRE? It just seemed like a game to me.

Anyway, finally re-submitted my application for Fall on Thursday. The only thing I changed from the Spring application was the visual submission. I still did photos, but I've gotten a lot of new lenses since last summer, so the photos are a lot better.

The rolling deadline is April 1 this year.

thanks psugirl.

yea, i hail from the exotic and mysterious land of New Jersey. perfect.

Robot-I changed EVERYTHING!!!! hahaha. But, You were at least wait listed, so I guess you were already better off. Did you check with them to make sure they have everything?

Zack-NJ is like a foreign country, so you're good!!! hahahaha. (I'm from PA and we mostly dislike NJ here, sorry)

 

[robot_m]

I submitted my photos on 1/21 and got six hits on 1/23.

 

[Junie]

God, I am so jealous of you guys that have website hits to check. I wish there was some way to know if they are looking at my application yet. Or does that just make you even more crazy?

Good luck to everyone!

 

[psufilmgirl]

I submitted a video, and it got one "play" on the 23rd. I don't think it means much, considering my last project got nearly 60 hits(for spring 2010) and I didn't get in.

Junie-It just makes you more paranoid, unless you have just let it go, like I have. I've found the easiest way to wait this out is just to go on with life and when a decision comes, it comes. Though that realization took me 2 times applying to come to!!!

Good Luck everyone!

 

[Bartleby Fink]

Have any Stark applicants heard anything or do we hear nothing until we hear decisions?

 

[Jayimess]

I never heard a word from USC until they asked for financial aid info shortly before admission season started in April. No interviews.

I didn't hear from the schools that did interview (I also applied to AFI and UCLA) until they called me for those interviews, in February and March.

I think you just need to let go, you've done your hard work, there are only decisions to be made at this point.

Sucks totally.
