Same! No word about an interview yet, but sending good vibes, thoughts, crossed fingers

 

[Yoon]

That's amazing, congratulations!! Did they ask the kind of questions you'd expected or was it more like a chat?

My interviewer was prof Bruce Block. He was really nice! Although he asked me some questions that he prepared, but the atmosphere was very comfortable.

Hi everyone, I just finished my interview a few hours ago. The professor was very nice. Being an international student, I didn't speak completely smoothly for some questions, but it went well I guess. Has anyone else had an interview?

Hi, are you applying for masters or undergrad and which specialty?

Hey guys, I just finished my interview for the production MFA program. The whole thing was very conversational and it went on for about 30 minutes but it felt pretty quick. Now comes the longest and most painful wait

I have not heard from USC about an interview, so am crossing my fingers they either haven't gotten to me or don't feel like they need the interview to make the decision.

Putting it out of my mind for the time being!

If anyone has any advice for what questions to expect in an interview for MFA production, that would be fabulous

All I've had so far is an email just before Christmas saying that they can't proceed with my application without receiving an official transcript (I had uploaded one during the application but they needed the official one). I emailed back to say that my undergraduate university in the UK doesn't email or mail out transcripts anymore (it's extremely frustrating!) and only operates an online portal where I have to add an email address for an invitation, and I asked if that would be ok and if so, which email should I add but I haven't heard back. I'm following up with them today so will hopefully update soon!

I think the same happened with me. I submitted them again and haven't heard from them since.
