Has anyone received the official USC letter from admissions yet?

Congrats to all who've been accepted!

Anyone else got a call today? I contacted them and they said that email notifications will be sent out by the end of the week. So I'm guessing that means I'm out of the running (but hope I'm wrong)... good luck to everyone!

Waitlisted... for a second year in a row.

Just got my rejection letter. They even spelled my name wrong in the email

Sorry about that :/ I think a student worker wrote the letters or something. Mine said 'Application design' in the subject line but I think they meant 'application decision'. That means nothing but it just seems careless lol

Did everyone get an email or a phone call? I got nothing so far.. Nothing at all lol

Nvm. I applied to both Stark and USC's Interactive Media & Games MFA program and just found out that I got into Interactive Media & Games MFA!! I'll be taking my offer for USC IMGD since I already did business school and film school at NYU Stern & Tisch. Good luck to others who are still waiting and to those who will be attending the Stark program that are interested in creating location-based VR entertainment, let's keep in touch because that's what I will be doing at USC for the next 3 years!

Regardless of your individual outcomes the past couple days you should ALL be really proud that you showed up to apply to USC’s toughest Film grad program and tried your hardest. So many people wouldn’t put themselves out there like that and take such a big risk. You each made a Big effort and that’s what ultimately counts in life. Like Lady GAGA said during her Oscar acceptance speech - “It’s not about “winning” it’s about how many times you stand back up after you get knocked down...”. She also talked about how hard it is to follow your passion.

Your creative careers are all going to work out just fine in the long run regardless of this particular outcome. Remember, you have to knock on a bunch of doors in Hollywood your entire career to get someone to answer — so just think of this as one door you knocked on. And... Don’t Stop Believing in Yourself!!

For anyone who was accepted, do you mind sharing when deposits are due? I'm guessing its around April 5th, but would be curious to know as a wait-lister.

They are due apr 5 for $1000. I think the other programs have until the 15th

To those that applied last year.... Be sure to update your application in the Film School Application database with as much info as you can.

See this example application to see how you can fully utilize the system:

SAMPLE MFA Application 2019

This is a sample Application (and not an actual AFI application) to showcase the various features of the Tracker

The more data the better to help future applicants. Thank you! ?
