USC Film and TV production MFA Spring 2021 Applications

Congrats!!! That means you get into the following fall, right?

Thank you! I know that a fall waitlist means a confirmed seat in spring. But not sure if a spring waitlist carries over to fall. Does anyone know how this works?

Does waitlist decisions being sent out mean we shouldn't expect any more acceptance decisions, or is that my anxiety talking?

Going by the past trends, unfortunately it does seem like it

Hey! I emailed and asked USC about if Spring waitlists carry over to the fall. Unfortunately not I wish it did. It doesn't really make sense to me that we work on an application due in August and then have to make a new one just a couple months later.

Also got waitlisted Here comes more waiting. . .
I'm going to start on all the other Fall 2021 apps I was hoping to not have to make.

Best of luck to everyone!

Congrats, guys! It is still a big achievement, and I hope that just means with some adjustments, your Spring application would be good to go and amaze them comes the Fall.

I've been there, got rejected, and ate too many pints of ice cream afterward. Please reach out if you ever need support or another set of eyes on your personal statement. I'd be happy to help

Also got waitlisted! I wonder how big their waitlist is or if anyone who was waitlisted before got in?

Hi does anyone one who got accepted could help me with the application and essay? This is the second time I'm applying but I haven't heard anything yet. I don't want to wait till last second... I really have to get in to a grad school for next fall. Please If anyone would have time do you mind to share a bit thoughts on how you approach the essays? That would really be so helpful for me! you can shoot me a private msg. Thank you so much!!!

I did some research (mostly on the forums for the past few cycles) and it seems like quite a handful of people have always been admitted off the waitlist. So there's still some hope I guess

Even I got waitlisted

 

[TheVirtualFilmmaker]

Are people applying for Fall?

 

[Joestar]

Anyone

Are people applying for Fall?

I'll hold out hope for an acceptance decision till Nov. 1st. If not, then I'm definitely reapplying in the fall.

 

[TheVirtualFilmmaker]

I wonder if their acceptance rate dropped considerably this year since very few people on this forum actually got in.

 

[Joestar]

In a year like this anything's possible.

@ fellow international applicants, have any of you gotten any decisions at all? I heard USC might go fully virtual next semester depending on LA COVID ordinances, and I'm wondering how this'll affect how they consider our applications.

I'm an international applicant and got admitted still. I am still in the US though, but I did not mention that in the application.

And yes, they're going virtual, unfortunately

Waitlisted students did you receive any kind of mail from the admission office?
