USC SCA Writing for Screen and Television MFA Fall 2024

Congrats! That's awesome. I'm committed to NYU, which has always been my first choice, but USC told me they'd reach out by the beginning of July since I'm an international student, and they haven't. I'd just rather know out of curiosity (and it would be cool) than be left in the dark forever, haha.
I’m committed to NYU too! Was also my first choice, so I’m 99% sure I’ll stick with it. See you in the fall!
 
OMG I had completely given up on USC after getting waitlisted — just got an acceptance! Anyone else??
Wow that's great!!! Be sure to update your application with that info if you haven't already. I'm assuming you're accepting? Congrats again!
 
Just got my acceptance too!! If anyone admitted is in the GroupMe, I've just requested to join!
Congrats! There's also a new private thread forum here if you want to create a private thread there. :)
