USC MFA in Screenwriting Applicants 2018

[Septopus7]

My theory is that there is an initial tiny wave of few (perhaps those with a higher chance of fin aid) then the rest will come in. Just a theory considering the nature of little aid is given (?) or something is going on in the dept (shake up in faculty) that’s causing a delay.

Gee, I hope the second part of your theory isn't true...financial aid is almost equal in importance to me with actually getting in. My personal reasoning for the gap would be that international students were admitted first (as has occasionally been true in years past)...but then your friend HAD to be from Seattle, ruining a perfectly good hypothesis!

At this point, I'm fine with not being admitted but I definitely want to know when they admitted and how they contacted. It feels like a mystery.

Hey man, this was me last year. Posted the same gif and everything. Ultimately, SCA works in mysterious ways...

Thanks! I honestly just want ONE person from this board who applied this year to get in. It doesn't have to be me... I've already moved on for the most part.

All it takes is one person other than my friend for me to stop. Do it, SCA. One drop of the blood of Adam. Free me.

Does your friend know if anyone else has gotten in? Or is he/she just floating out in the water alone lol

She mentioned that they had begun notifying and that she was NOT the first.

 

[T117]

How was your friend notified? Did she get a call? Sorry...Just curious as to how she knew she wasn’t the first to be notified kind of thing. And yeah I’ve pretty much accepted if something doesn’t come by tonight it probably never will....which is upsetting. But I agree it’s just crazy no one here has heard much of anything. Haha

As stated earlier, she told me that she had received an email notifying her to check her YouSC portal where a letter notifying her of acceptance had appeared.

The information regarding her not being the first and etc. were from a phone call she made during the past week.

More acceptances will come out this week

 

[Michel Lichand]

I just got accepted. They're asking me to prove I can pay it, but, alas, I really need scholarships.

How do I find out if I got any? Do I have to submit financial documents first?

Hi although I am a directing applicant I guess I do know the answer to your second question. Are you an international applicant? I don’t know whether the rules will change for this year, but financial document is required to issue you I-20 (an document you need when you apply for Visa), so you have to submit it first...but I don’t know whether it will apply for domestic students, and I am not sure it works same for US citizens

First off: congrats! Someone here got in! AAAAH! I can finally stop gleaning over at this forum page! It's over.

Secondly: probably call for that information tomorrow, there's also a section in YouSC that has financial aid status underneath the admission. Check there!

 

[lalowrites]

Congrats all with acceptances!

But increasingly starting to believe this means I'm not getting in...

 

[Michel Lichand]

Thanks everyone. Hopefully you all get in.

I know that. The thing is, if I don't have financial aid, I'll proably not be able to enroll in USC.

Also, the link in the youSC page, the one that says "check the status of your financial aid" seems to be exclusively about the kind of aid available to US citizens. AKA the kind that's not available to me.

I just received an email from them asking me to check the decision status. And it says on the pdf document that:

We are pleased to inform you that you are academically eligible for admission to the Fall 2018 semester as a graduate student majoring in Cinematic Arts, Film and Television Production leading to a Master of Fine Arts.

To receive your official offer of admission, you must first demonstrate proof of the ability to pay tuition and living expenses for yourself and, if applicable, your spouse and/or any children intending to travel with you to USC for the duration of your coursework.

Does that mean I have been admitted once I submit all financial documents required?

And I confused this thread with USC film production thread again...sorry folks.

Yes. That's exactly it.

@Michel Lichand I’m so excited for you!!! I was hoping you’d get in!!!

I’m wondering if this means no more will come out... or if there’s still hope?

Thank you so much. I'd be celebrating, but this whole money issue is worrying me.

Is anyone here an international student currently studying at USC? Would love to ask some questions.
