USC MFA Screenwriting Fall 2016

Let me be the first:

Officially Rejected @ 2:28 AM, 3/11/16. Emailed to see decision letter posted on YouSC.

Same here. Bummed, but can't say it was a surprise :(
 
I'm curious about those accepted: How many were first-time applicants and how many were re-applying? I'd love to know :D

And congrats again! :cool:
 
At this point I just want to get my USC rejection letter right now. I would be sad but it would be such a relief...
Congratulations for those who got in though! Make us proud!
 
Is there anyone out there who have not received an Acceptance, Rejection, Waiting list or any sort of notification from USC Screenwriting Department regarding your application?

Apparently they are still sending out Acceptance, rejection, and waitinglist notifications. The lady at the front desk stated she was actually processing ACCEPTED application notifications.
 
@Timothy Marc Hopper I have been so impatient waiting to hear back from USC since some people received an email to check the portal while others got the notification on the portal first. I think I may be going crazy checking both every 5 minutes ^^
 
Still no letter posted on you.usc.edu but this appeared that weren't there before: After your letter is posted, we strongly recommend you save a PDF copy for your records. All decision letters will be removed from youSC the third week from the start of the term to which you have applied. Letter copies will not be available after this date under any circumstances.

Did you guys notice this not too long before you received notification?
