USC Film Production for Fall 2011

[kam]

Hey, wasn't phoned but also just got the acceptance email. !!!!

 

[mongoose]

Congrats to everyone who has been admitted or waitlisted!! It's not looking too good for those of us who haven't heard anything, but I've still got a little hope left.

In the event of a rejection, I play to try for re-admission in the spring and am feeling pretty pumped about it. I'll know what I'm doing this time around! You guys have been wonderful, and this community has definitely gotten me through the past month and re-affirmed my desire to attend USC and work with you all.

If any of you are in the Charlotte, NC area and would like to collaborate on a project sometime, just let me know. I'm going to make the most out of the next six months before the new app is due!

I've got the official admission decision via email yesterday. Couldn't believe it!
Thank you, Mirpanda, jamesc, and all those who shares informations about the application in this forum. I'm so lucky to log in this forum a couple of weeks ago, and your discussion did ease my nerve in these days.

As an international student in a country so far away and different from US, I've prepared for the application for three years. Never hope for a better result than this; A new gate is open in front of me -- it's like dream. Now it's time for me to have a good sleep.

Congratulations. And for those who are still waiting, just keep it up. See you in LA!

 

[Mirpanda]

Congratulations Roo, Kam and Joe! That's wonderful news!

 

[Sahirr]

congratulations Joe... i was wondering - since you are from China (international applicant) and made it in... do you have a 4 year undergraduate degree too? i am from India and am considering applying to USC for the spring term - but i have a 3 year undergrad degree... the admissions department requires one to have a 4 year degree... does anyone know how particular are they about this requirement ?

 

[Mirpanda]

Best of luck to you Mongoose! Hope is still alive!

anyone rejected?

 

[mongoose]

Not officially. But I'll be sure to post when it comes!

 

[SurferJon]

I got my acceptance letter in the mail today, but no e-mail, phone call, interview, or anything else. I also can't login to that one graduate link. I hope they didn't send me a letter by mistake. XD

 

[Mirpanda]

Congrats SurferJon! I'm sure it's not a mistake. Did you get the Grad School booklet? It has a page in the back of it that you can fill out, tear out, and fax to them to certify that you will attend. Also, did you receive your acceptance letter for SCA via email? In mine there was included in the attachment a form to fill out and send back to SCA with the $300 deposit. If you have all those things, I think you're golden.

This is making me really nervous. I haven't received anything, e-mail or otherwise. I hope the website thing wasn't just a fluke.

Where are you located? I just received my admissions packet yesterday. I'm in Louisiana. Are you further east or in a metro area handling a larger volume of mail? Maybe it's still en route.

Thank you. Congratulations to you too! Guess we'll be seeing each other in the program!

I received a white envelope that says "Welcome to USC." It has a plastic window which has a single sheet of paper with my name and address. Behind the paper is an information packet, which you can open for your acceptance letter and a "Paying for Graduate Studies" packet. In the back of the information packet is the tear-out page you mentioned. But just to say it again, I have not received any e-mail, phone call, interview request, or anything. The only indication I have that I got in is this snail mail packet. Additionally, that one link you guys were discussing earlier still does not work for me. So for those of you still freaking out, don't worry until you get it in the mail!

Concern: On the first page of the financial packet, when it says "FULL TIME" and under that "(Taking 8 to 14 units per semester)," is that the base tuition for ONE semester or for the YEAR? It says $27,200, so I'm hoping (praying) that that is the price of both semesters combined. I wish the packet was a little clearer because I don't know whether to celebrate yet or cry. XD

That's the same packet I received yesterday! Yay! Looking forward to meeting you.

I'm pretty sure the $27,200 is for the year if you take 10 credits per semester. Which is looks like for the first year, we'll be taking 10 in each semester. I'm not really sure if you can take more than the required classes the first year or not. It's something I've been meaning to call the school and ask about.

I'm both further east and in a large metro area - I live in lower Manhattan. So that's what I'm hoping too. The fact that it's a Sunday and there's no mail is really driving me crazy. Congratulations again on your acceptance though.

Xenophilius, that's pretty crazy. Which neighborhood are you in? I'm actually living in the financial district, myself.

I'm definitely going to USC. It's the only school I applied to. I visited SCA back in October, and it's just as beautiful as the 3D rendering. I can't wait to get there.
