At what time did you get notified?

The email was sent around 4:00am EST.

 

[Nicolas Hosea]

So it's about same time then. Welp, I'm pessimistic

 

[abtfilms]

Yea so I'm guessing if you didn't get a notification by now you didn't get in sadly.

 

[abtfilms]

CONGRATS EVERYONE WHO GOT IN!!!!

Long time lurker of this forum, domestic student living abroad. I was losing hope cause it felt like a long shot, but I just got in!

 

[abtfilms]

Wait was your email sent at a different time?

 

[little_bird24]

Mine was sent at 3:06 am CST

 

[abtfilms]

Oh ok so yea they sent out all the acceptances at 1:00 am PST then or at least around that time.

 

[Chris W]

Congrats everyone!

Accepted or not please remember to log your applications as it's really helpful to everyone with all of the dates and info. Especially since this year is so different.

What email did acceptances and waitlist come from?

Congrats!!!

 

[pmj]

What email did acceptances and waitlist come from?

My waitlist came from:

admissions@cinema.usc.edu

I think the actual acceptance comes from the USC Graduate Admissions email, not an SCA one, but I’m sure someone else can confirm that

 

[rachmanifold]

Domestic student, got in! Email from gradadm@usc.edu received at 1am PST.

 

[jordanrosephotos]

Accepted ! Domestic as well

 

[yxrsxoa]

Congrats!

 

[nicky2024]

I got in! Also was notified at 1am PST

 

[antlady]

Hope they are still sending out acceptance or waitlists. I’ve seen people got accepted around mid March last year so I still feel there are more to come

 

[yxrsxoa]

I wonder when they’ll send out the actual rejection. Waiting is so painful.
