USC Film & TV Production MFA Fall 2021 Applicants Unite!

[Chris W]

Congrats everyone! Another friendly reminder to add your application to our database to help others when you get a chance.

Application Database

A database of thousands of film school applications to calculate acceptance rates to film programs and the minimum GPAs, minimum SAT and GRE scores, experience of accepted applicants, and much more....

According to the database, USC sent out offer as early as Jan 25th. Has anyone received any news yet?

I doubt a lot of people heard back as early as January 25th last year. The professor I interviewed with said I probably won't hear back until March.

My interviewer also said late February or March!

wondering if anyone got a call out of the blue? Does anyone know of someone who has not gotten in after receiving a call?

Is it just me or is this years forum way quieter than previous ones?

I'm seeing a slightly higher number of total site wide posts as previous years and slightly more user activity on the site in general. Maybe USC is doing interviews later than last year? But you're right a little bit with the USC thread - last year's USC thread was at page 9 or 10 by this date last year.

I haven’t received my interview notification so far, should I worry about it? Is the interview still rolling

me neither But I think for USC, interview is not a prereq for admission.

Hope so! Wishing all the best, the waiting time is suffering.

This is my first post ever but I’ve been lurking on this forum since the fall, but wanted to check in because my interview was exactly one month ago and she told me to expect an answer by mid-February! So I’ve been holding out for Feb 15 (tomorrow) or a little after mid-Feb, but if not, hopefully she just meant sometime in February

 

[TheVirtualFilmmaker]

Fingers crossed! Though I was told by someone from Admissions that we won't hear back until March.

Really hope we get our decision status tomorrow! Last year applicants heard back either March 1st and March 2nd, but 2 years ago I believe applicants heard back February 16 and 17 which were on the weekend

my partner’s interviewer also mentioned mid-feb! i wouldn’t hold my breath though. i think production will know for sure within the next two weeks (based on previous years), but this weekend would be neat too

Has anyone, who keeps checking the youSC website non-stop, noticed that the website is extremely slow the past few days...

Yup! I went on earlier today and when I clicked decision status it took a while, never happened before

 

[Chris W]

I can't remember.... Is USC one where all acceptances are released the same day? Some programs are like that.

 

[Chris W]

SMH. I can just use the Application Database that I designed to figure out out.

Looks like it's not just one day.

Here's last year sorted by decision date:

And on some occasion, the decision status page shows blank :/
That's so weird
