USC MFA Fall 2014 (film & tv) (1 Viewer)

[Carrie Z]

Just received an official admission letter in snail mail, surprised that they don't do large envelope this year. I thought I am rejected by seeing the small envelope in my mail box.

Congrats~ you applied for producing? Peter Stark Program？

Can't login either yet ...and I'm worried cause internationals propably get notified first, due to visa stuff :S ... Going for a long swim now, should help me relax!

Thought I should stop lurking and join the thread, waddduuuup.

I just had my interview earlier this afternoon - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.

Hey everyone! Are any of the people receiving interviews applying for the Directing program? I thought admissions interviews weren't a part of the application process for USC? I'm just wondering because my application is currently in the "Departmental Review and Admissions Decision" stage and I'm also not able to log into that one site, which doesn't sound like a good sign. I got an interview with UCLA but I thought that was the only school (out of UCLA/USC/NYU) that does interviews. Am I wrong?

 

[peterlolzy]

Awesome!! Congrats! I believe I have said it to you before! But whatever!! Congrats haha!!!

Thanks! Good luck on your application.

Hey! I'm so happy I found this thread. So, I am an international applicant from Mexico but I grew up in the Midwest (Madison, WI).

I checked the website you guys posted and GOT IN! However, I didn't get an email or even an interview. Those of you who have been able to log in, did all of you get emails and interviews? Also, my application status is this:

• YOU WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATION OF YOUR ADMISSION DECISION ONCE YOUR DEPARTMENT HAS COMPLETED THEIR FINAL REVIEW. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OFFICE OF ADMISSION PROVIDES FINAL DECISION NOTIFICATIONS BY LETTER ONLY.

is anyone on the same boat?

Everyone that's able to log onto the site, is that everyone's application status as well? Mine is still this:

• YOUR FILE HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW AND AN ADMISSION DECISION. YOU MAY CHECK THIS SYSTEM PERIODICALLY FOR UPDATES, AND IF THE ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR RENDERS AN ADMISSION DECISION, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED.

Welcome to you new folks, and congratulations to those who have already been accepted!

My application status is still in the 'forwarded to the academic department' stage, so I guess that means they aren't finished looking at it yet. One thing to consider is that we have no idea what order in which they're looking at applications. It could be alphabetical, alphabetical by country, international students first, who knows? A curse of the age of the internet is that we have the ability to know things almost instantly, which actually increases worry - in the old days you just had to do other things while you waited for their response in the mail, but now we can sweat all day as we try to login every few hours.

I guess the point I'm trying to make (mostly to myself, actually), is that what will happen will happen - there are many roads to success in the film industry, and those with drive will get there no matter what happens; but there's also no need to cross the 'I didn't get in, now what' bridge until you get to it!

Don't lose hope, anybody.

Thanks for the inspirational pep talk which program did you apply to and where are you from?

Hello everyone! I applied for the MFA in writing for screen and television. I can't get into that link that everyone is posting and my status is still in "the first stage." I am just wondering did everyone get the email for the scholarship application and the enrollment and housing form. It seems kind of weird to get that stuff if they won't consider you, right?

Congrats to everyone who can get into the website and got accepted.

 

[mcholman]

almilife Hey there! Welcome!

I think they give that out to everybody regardless. We got those pretty early, way before they would've had time to see everybody's applications. There's no way they'd keep us waiting this long if they already knew by then who was getting in.

loki lover I applied to the MFA in Film & TV Production and plan to emphasize in directing, and I'm from Kansas.

Can I surmise from your username that you're also a fan of Alydia Rackham?

 

[Mexicanafilm]

mcholman Cool! Same program. I want to focus on cinematography and directing.

 

[almilife]

@mcholman Thank you!

I got the requests to fill that stuff out in the beginning of the month, so not that long ago. I don't know what that says about my application if I just got those a few weeks ago. This is my first time applying to a graduate program so I don't know how this waiting game works.

I did read on another forum a few minutes ago that the application status are wrong, and that the school doesn't really update them as they go through the applications, so that's a good sign... I still can't get on that site that people have been posting so I am just going to assume I didn't get in.

well i certainly wish you the best- remember whatever is meant to be, will happen I actually wasn't familiar w/Alydia Rackham before so thanks for introducing her to me! I've just had a penchant for loki's character every since i could read comics, he's by far my fave villain, lol (not to go all nerdy on you, but afterall, i'm an animation application so it is to be expected )
