USC Fall 2010 (28 Viewers)

DO NOT GIVE UP YOUTHQUAKE.

If you do, in the words of Michael Corleone, "you'll disappoint me."
 
Youthquake, don't get down yet! I know they said they would still be making decisions within the 2-3 week period after my phone call, so don't go by this only -- the only thing that is definitive is that letter - I just thought I'd share the update - gl!!
 
I won't, Ben! I don't want to disappoint you, you're like a film graduate acceptance superstar, I look up to you!

I'm being a big baby. Sorry, waiting for these answers is like a disease. I'm rotting away slowly.

Oh my god, I'm being melodramatic.
 
Thanks everyone!! Just two of us so far? It's impossible. I'm sure we have many more starkies in the forum. Don't give up!
The call does come when you least expect it - I had just given a good bite to an apple when my cell rang and, for some reason, I didn't think it would be necessary to swallow before picking up. So I almost choked on "This is Henry from the Peter Stark office."
I did not receive the financial aid postcard but I didn't apply for financial aid, so can't be of help in deciphering their meaning.
And I can't log into that webpage with my USC ID ten digit number.
 
Could somebody please answer my question?

I never got the USC ID number? Do all applicants get it? Is it only for US citizens?


Thanks & Regards

Neil
 
I'm not sure if it's just for US citizens, but you should have received it via e-mail after submitting your application.
 
sooo in conclusion...

1. no one knows if those darn post cards mean anything.
2. no one knows if this "login website" means anything.
3. no one knows if phone calls or no phone calls mean anything.

haha USC is kicking our butts my fellow anxious applicants. tiiired of waiting!!!
 
Woohoo! Congratulations Juli and Magneeta! I'm so excited for you guys!!!

Magneeta, where did you get the link for the Intent of acceptance webpage? Was it e-mailed to you?

Again, this forum is really a thrill ride and I'm so happy that Juli and Magneeta have something to celebrate!

Everyone else, hang in there!
 
Mikey-essentially that's the case. with the login in, if you are waitlisted, I doubt you would be able to get in, as you cannot tell when you intend to enroll.

who knows at this point. it will all be over soon though
 
The call came after I had read your post and hyperventilated. I decided to go home and finish work there, and halfway through, on dratted congested freeway, Henry's caller ID showed up. I think I nearly crashed. ;)

WOW GUYS!! Congratulations!!! So happy for everybody in this board who in! Now, I should ask you guys to give me some advice for next year!
 
sdht: i would say it seems that the screenwriting applicants will be notified by acceptance letters via mail. I'm not sure if USC sends an email notifying sw applicants of acceptance, so yeah bet on the letter. that is unless you happen to be one of the rare few who gets a call from a faculty member who reviewed your application.
