USC MFA Fall 2016 Applicants

[panda]

@panda thanks for the info? Is the fb group active? I tried pm:ing Katie and sent a mail to student services but no response

Hmm, that's strange. It's semi-active. Try PM-ing Katie or Marcus, the other two admin? The admin haven't posted in a while, though...

Hi guys. Did any of the waitlisted applicants from Fall 2016 receive further notification regarding the promised Spring 2017 admission? They had previously told we would receive notification by Aug 19 but no sign of any news as yet.

Hi Sibi,

I've talked with the folks at the front desk (I'm in the same position as you) and they clarified a couple things:

1) Yes, if your letter says you will be granted a Spring spot, you are guaranteed a slot for the spring.

2) They'll be sending out a letter and an email around the end of September for those who are Fall waitlist/Spring admits, with further details (this, I assume is when they will take deposits, start financial aid process, etc.).

The fall waitlist/spring admit position is not particularly fun and has entailed a lot of waiting around with little communication -- I've definitely had mornings where I woke up and was convinced that it wasn't real, but it seems it will happen after all...

That is great to hear. Thanks a lot! I was certainly starting to get a bit worried.
