Honestly, it went really well. The interviewer asked a lot about my short film, my personal statement, and asked about how I would use the resources at USC. At the end of the interview they specifically said "things are looking good for you" in regards to my application. They also said that their recommendation will be submitted to the committee by friday.Nice! How did it go?
Glad to hear it went well! Hoping we hear about our decision statues soonHonestly, it went really well.

Not necessarily. Like someone replied to me earlier, each interviewer does it at their own pace so they might just not have gotten around to you yet. I looked at last years stats too and they were still giving out interviews at this time, so don’t loose hope just yet. I haven’tSo I’m gathering that if you didn’t get an interview, you’re out? Been waiting but it looks less and less likely that i’ll be getting an interview lol
Interviewing with USC isn't an indication of whether you got in or not. People get accepted or rejected without interviews and people get accepted or rejected with interviews. Hold tight soldierSo I’m gathering that if you didn’t get an interview, you’re out? Been waiting but it looks less and less likely that i’ll be getting an interview lol
Totally agree! A USC faculty said here that getting an interview doesn't mean automatic acceptance. Remember, there is no mandatory interview for USC film production, professors sometimes contact applicants to get to know them more.Interviewing with USC isn't an indication of whether you got in or not.

This is great! Congrats!!!So my interviewer basically called me while driving to their doctors appointment. He had my name mixed up with another applicants so I corrected him. He just asked me to take it from there and ask him any questions that I may have.
We talked about the types of people we meet on a film set. What would be the biggest outcome of attending USC (the interviewer said it's the industry connections). He specially mentioned how surprised he was when he moved to LA years ago and discovered how half the people working in Hollywood were USC alum. We talked about my undergrad experience and where I went to school. We talked about where I grew up and some of his background. To sum it up, it felt like a great opportunity to talk to and ask questions to an industry professional who has a successful Hollywood career. An opportunity often hard to come by in my opinion![]()
MotherSuperior lives up to the name! lol. Congrats!!! That is great news! Keep us posted!Honestly, it went really well.

Have you had your interview yet, DoTheCyThing? (See what I did there)? How did it go?Totally agree! A USC faculty said here that getting an interview doesn't mean automatic acceptance.

As others have said an interview is not required for admission.So I’m gathering that if you didn’t get an interview, you’re out? Been waiting but it looks less and less likely that i’ll be getting an interview lol
Haha good one! It went well, the interview was like a conversation, discussed my short film, how to work with difficult people, my goals, why I want to go to USC, and even the French New Wave.Have you had your interview yet, DoTheCyThing? (See what I did there)? How did it go?
I’d say as long as you give them enough notice they’d be fine with switching it around!Quick question for those who already had their interview, are you allowed to re-arrange the time with the interviewer if the time they initially provided doesn't work for your schedule? Is it common/rude to do so since the interviewer can be extremely busy?
I see! Thank you!I’d say as long as you give them enough notice they’d be fine with switching it around!
