So for those of you interested in production who've gotten interviews, did your interviewers indicate that it was a prerequisite to admission or was it just something to clear up questions re: your application?

Thanks for the help.

I havent heard anything from USC either. But from what I've read, interviews are at the discretion of whoever is reviewing your application. I believe some people are admitted without an interview. Then, one crisp spring day...when all hope has been lost...that package with the golden ticket arrives in the mail. And after that...you're off to the Chocolate Factory with granpa!

Thanks Neville! I swear this board is saving my sanity through this entire process!

From the looks of it: http://forums.studentfilms.com...865104053#865104053, he did not receive an interview for Spring '10.

I don't quite have the energy right now to hunt, but I wonder if this was the same case with Spring '09/Fall '09. Or if they somehow reviews apps in the order they receive, in which case us Spring '10 waitlisters are last to be reviewed? Maybe I'm just hoping for that because I haven't had a call yet .

Ugh, I don't know if I can wait until April.... seriously hope they'll let us know in March at the latest.

I've been pretty neutral about it, not getting my hopes up, but now I'm getting to the point where I'm thinking "What if...."

Ack!

Waiting = lemon, lemon, difficult, lemon.

Hey everyone!

I just chatted with someone at the SCA Admission office and I asked them the status on Acceptances/Interviews. Just because you are not interviewed does not mean you did not get in. It all depends on the committee member that gets your application. I think this was stated before, but it makes me feel good to hear it for myself! You can tell I didn't get an interview... haha!

Also they said that decisions will be mailed out by mid-March.

Good luck all!

So no one has heard from Stark?

I officially haven't taken a breath since the 22nd.

 

[rosie922]

no word about Stark here, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack waiting...

 

[karina]

Nope. No word from Stark yet!

I called them yesterday, they said we have to wait another week.

Trust me guys, I'm with you in the waiting asylum.

I was just looking through my emails and noticed something:

I was interviewed by phone last Friday. Shortly thereafter I received an email asking about more financial information.
Atop was my 'USCID' number, which I used to log into the paperwork section.

This seems rather positive when I think about it. Anybody have any further information/thoughts?

The interviewer said I wouldn't get a letter for '3 to 4 weeks'.

 

[psufilmgirl]

I had to do that for Spring, I even had to fax financial aid info to USC's office. I didn't get in.

Did you fill out your FAFSA?? I think that's what triggered mine.

The USC id is attached when you submit your app via the website.

Signs are a dime a dozen, take the next few weeks doing what you normally do, no use harping on it now!

Good Luck!

 

[yonkondy]

hahaha. damnit. thanks for sharing...

 

[psufilmgirl]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be a Debbie Downer, but it is what it is.

That might not mean anything now though! Keep holding out hope!!! You'll be fine!

 

[Neville26]

Did you apply to Spring Admissions psufilmgirl? I thought last year you applied to fall 2009 in the mfa in screenwriting bunch like the rest of us? no?

 

[SG student]

I have had my USC id number since last October. I don't think it means anything. I don't think interview is a significant-I agree with previous person who said people get in with/without interview. I wonder if they treat applicants who are applying for grad vs undergrad differently? Anyone know? I don't think there will be any acceptance packets mailed out until toward the end of March-they are soooo backlogged-and don't forget, the University has to go through everything in addition to Stark.

 

[psufilmgirl]

Neville-last year I applied for stark for fall 2009, and I did spring production 2010. Still applying for production fall 2010!!!

 

[karina]

Hi eccentricmetric,

Stark hasn't notified anybody yet. They don't do phone interviews as well. Although we might hear from them this coming week! Good luck to all hopeful Starkies!

 

[WillieGreen]

I just got an email from the financial aid office saying I needed to submit the FAFSA (which I already did weeks ago, and have the confirmation print-out to prove it).

Anyone else get something like that?

Did you get confirmation from USC or from FASFA? Sometimes, even if you submit it to go to your schools, they won't receive it. You can check it on your FASFA account a few days after you send it through.
