Not me, how about you?

me either

 

[Cy98]

me either

It’s still early so we have plenty of time,
plus not getting an interview from USC doesn’t mean you won’t get accepted

I was waitlisted for Spring and reapplied for Fall. Haven't heard back from USC about either and I am starting to get nervous :/

This is where I'm at. It's still really early, so I'm not too fazed by it right now

I totally understand this feeling because I was on the waitlist for the 2020 spring and applied for the 2020 fall too. This is my fourth-time try cuz I failed in 2021 spring either. Don't give up.

Hey everyone! I applied to SCA for Fall 2021 also. Super duper duper nervous about everything, but I have faith that everything will work out for myself and everyone else in this thread.

If anyone would like to swap personal statements for the hell of it or just some comfort, I’m down to hear everyone else’s stories that led then to film.

I'd love to swap materials, Lanihead! You still open to that? Apologies for my delay. I was sick all week.

 

[JasperJohns]

Wow! This was absolutely amazing to read! Thank you for showing me a new perspective on all of this. You’re right too, I definitely need to turn my obsession on my application as something positive, and I never saw my obsession as a sign that I really deeply care about being a creative filmmaker.

I really hope we get accepted this year! I can tell you are a great screenwriter from just that message. Happy New Years to you too!

Love you DO THE RIGHT THING pic! One of my favorite films.
