I've uploaded my official transcript, do I have to pay again to send my official transcript to USC again? I understand if I got in, they would want to confirm its authenticity even more but doesn't make sense for me to upload an official transcript AND send the same document again through my school.

from what they have stated on their website, you have to send the printed one to them even after you uploaded already. Foe me as an international student, it's pretty expensive but you have to do it.

Yeah I'm also an international student, that's why I find it kinda ridiculous. But I guess that's how it is. I feel it should be enough to just mail it to them through my school.

Though on their website about transcripts, they give you the option to submit in one of three ways:

And they are saying it's okay if you have official transcripts, you can just upload them onto the portal when applying which is what I did.

How do I make sure they get it? And can all this be done after the deadline? Because they don't send you your ID until you submit your application, and I submitted mine the day it was due.

yes I asked them by mail, and they offere a grace period after the deadline for transcripts, so send it now if you haven't done it.

this is confusing, on the page of international students it says you have to send printed ones after your submission. USC Graduate Admission

It's only for verification. I received my USC ID about 2 weeks after the deadline because they had a technical problem

I agree with you guys, sending the transcripts before being accepted is a pain in the a**. We paid a total of 120 bucks for applying; mailing my transcript to them cost me 45 bucks (for the spring admission). Thank god I don't have to send it again to them for the fall admission

Hey, I also just had my interview with Michael Taylor. Not sure but I don't think it went all that well though mine was also pretty informal but I feel it was too short. No idea how much time they spend on interviews. How long was yours?

Many thanks,

Just an FYI, every interviewer is different, it’s not a super formal process even if it feels like it. Don’t stress over the interview, put your best foot forward, the only way to prepare is to be yourself.

Many thanks,

I got asked how you'll deal with someone not doing their job on set, what makes you want to go to sca, what your weakness is as a collaborator and as a filmmaker.

I think interviews are usually in Jan and the first week or so of Feb.

I wonder why the thread is so dead this year.
