USC Peter Stark Producing Application 2025

[productionapplicant81]

I’m an international student and haven’t heard anything yet. This is making me anxious haha
They should send everything all at once

Agreed. I truly don’t understand what they have to gain, doing it in waves like this.

Has anyone domestic heard anything yet? I’m domestic, radio silence so far.

I'm international but currently living in LA and haven't heard anything yet.

From what I understand from over the years and from our interview with USC admissions I think the reason that it is staggered is that there are different professors in charge of certain candidates and they decide on their own timetable. I could be wrong though but that's the impression that I've received over the years.

Oh, that’s super interesting. Thanks for the insight!!

I could be wrong....but I seem to remember that different professors do things differently. It's certainly the case with interviews at USC. Some interview everyone and others only interview people they are interested in.

I'm sure there is a rhyme and reason but I agree it's hard to discern from this side of the process.

So if I haven't heard anything at all, there's still a chance?

Hard to say but I wouldn't give up hope yet.

Also there's an accepted USC thread you can probably request access to:

Admitted Applicant Private Group Threads

Create private group threads to meet your fellow future classmates, form a screenwriting group, or anything else. It works similar to GroupMe and only invited members can see the thread or get notified about the thread.

I received my acceptance letter yesterday as well (I had an interview and I am not international). I'm unsure about accepting. It's a lot of money and considering that hollywood is in turmoil does anyone else have reservations? How selective is this program?
