[hanjam27]

Awesomesauce, congratulations!! Did you receive your letter just now?

No, I got it on Saturday, but didn't have a chance to post until now.

I'm in! I'm still waiting to hear back from NYU, but I'm thrilled.

Good luck to anyone still waiting to hear back!

Congrats! Add your Application to our database when you can. There's also a private USC forum for accepted and current students on this site of you want to join.

Hey everyone! I got waitlisted as of twenty minutes ago! The notification came via email. I am a domestic applicant.

Congrats!!! I guess it's probably safe to assume USC is done sending out interview notifications. That's a bummer because I thought my USC app was pretty strong. Oh well.

I fixed your title. And great experience btw.

And btw you DID get in. Gaurenteed Spring admission.

Congratulations!!!! Did it say you had guaranteed admission for spring?

That has historically been the case for all USC Waitlisted

 

[kikis_delivery]

I wonder if all the waitlist emails went out at once or if they're going to be staggered....

 

[aaaaa]

Congratulations!!!! Did it say you had guaranteed admission for spring?

No it did not. "The waitlist guarantees that you will be considered for Fall 2021 admission if any admitted students decline our offer of admission prior to the start of the semester....The waitlist will remain open through the end of the year and will close on Friday, August 27, 2021."
It says nothing about Spring at all.

Huh. I wonder if that's what they said last year. Maybe they stopped doing that.

Hi! I've done some examination of past years' forums and everything seems staggered- even the emails for those accepted seem to be within ten minutes to a few hours apart.

I thought it was only Film and Production that did that? I didn't think Writing had ever had spring admission? I dunno though!

They don't interview for writing! It's just a yes, waitlisted or no I wish they'd just bloody release them all in one go though haha

Oh! Maybe that's where I'm confused. Sorry if I gave out bad info.

Hi all! I've been lurking for quite some time now, I just checked my email and got my waitlist notification at 4:12 EST (domestic).

Mine was a few minutes before. 4:10 EST (saying this to show that they don't come out at the same time)

Congrats to all of those who were accepted and those of you who were waitlisted. Other than @mcrawfordguy, have any international students been accepted into the program? Unless I'm mistaken, he seems to be the only one as of now.
