USC MFA Fall 2016 Applicants (1 Viewer)

[Paul J.]

Guys who had an interview with USC, how did it go? What did they ask. Most seem to have heard nothing. :/

So, I've read in the last year posts that if you can login to this site, you are good to go!

With USC ID and birthday... I can't login, however, I still think we are pretty early in the process... At least one more week!

Hello everybody, I was going thru the USC thread back from 2014 and found this interesting post.
So basically they say if you can log into this link with your USC ID and birthday then it means you got in.

I know it sounds like superstition and I don't know if USC's system has been updated since, but can you guys give it a try?
I actually can log into that site, but it just redirect to youSC site which i think everybody can access.

I could sign in as well, but it redirected me to the YouSC site. I am glad I checked things there, however, because USC needs my Enrollment and Housing form to process any potential financial aid and visiting the youSC portal reminded me of that.

I had some missing documents as well! Though, I don't recall ever seeing them being asked for. How have I missed that? What is the housing form? Would seem they need a scan of my Social security card and my fafsa had problems so... yippee.

Do we fill the housing form now? Even if we haven't been accepted or rejected yet?

 

[Alison Hendrix]

Hm but it's looking like this thing is letting all of us in? So I'm not sure it could mean we all got in, right?

Yeah I don't think it means we got in... I think they caught on to what was happening in past years! haha

I saw that too in previous years but it looks like that was still later in the month just a day or so before notifications so it's probably too early.

I was able to get in as well. I seemed to have missed filling out the housing supplemental form, too. I'm thinking that it was something they sent out after we filled out the financial aid form, though. I was on YouSC yesterday and it wasn't there. Perhaps they just sent it to everyone who wants on campus housing.

I was contacted by USC via email about them needing additional information on my financial aid application today.

I just called the financial aid office and asked them about the housing form. The person who took my call said that it would be better to wait until we've received an acceptance letter before filling out the form because that would help with filling out the graduation year/units per semester portion of the form. Hope this helps, and I'm curious if any of you have filled out the form anyway and how you determined the units portion.

I filled it out. I looked up the degree requirements for the program I applied to (MFA Film Production) and it seems that it's 8 units a semester for the first two semesters, so I chose the 8-14 option on the drop down. And it's supposed to be a three year program, so I just said 2019 since I'm applying now. You could look up the degree requirements for the program you applied to if you want to get it in, but if they said it's okay to wait then I'm sure that's fine!

 

[googoomuck]

8-14 units is how many units you take to be a full-time student. 4-7 units counts as a part-time student. The only thing I was unsure of was summer session...I have no idea how it works at USC or if it's even offered in every program. I just put 8-14 there too. It says somewhere on the page that it's not binding and you can come back and change it throughout the year; it's just a projection so no sweat if you are unsure.

 

[TezcaJuan]

Thanks @juliabulia and @googoomuck. I went ahead and submitted. I wasn't sure what to do with the summer portion either, so I left it blank (not enrolling). Glad to hear we can alter it later. You guys probably already know this, but when I was looking up the unit count, I read that we will hear back from USC, for screenwriting, by Mid-March. Good luck to everyone!

 

[siriusdanger]

So, no one has been contacted for an interview yet?

 

[lady-vengeance]

I know that Screenwriters don't get interview invites. But when do Director and Producer applicants ~usually get invites?

 

[filmschoolol]

I got interviewed by USC today! It was a quick and chill phone interview with the faculty, we chatted for about 12 mins. He asked me some questions about my portfolio work, and gave me a chance to ask questions about the program. He told me the decisions will be made in early April and he seemed to be impressed by my work... fingers crossed!

And hope you guys all get your interviews soon!

 

[Paul J.]

@filmschoolol Wow, great news! Didn't see your info on our google sheet, you should add it there! When did you get your interview invite or did someone just call you up? Production, Stark or SW?
