USC SCA Writing for Screen and Television MFA Fall 2024

[filmschool_lurker]

Last year, some people got acceptance notifications on 2/25, others in March. So I'd hope they're not done with domestic!

My thought is they just all got sent out earlier than last year, it wouldn't make sense for them not to go out in one batch, don't you think?

For domestic applicants who haven't heard anything yet, do we think that means waitlist/rejection? I would assume the waves are one domestic acceptance, one international acceptance, and then one waitlist, especially given that they only take 32 in total.

As a domestic applicant, I hope that's not the case, but we'll have to see.

I hope they haven't sent out acceptances to internationals. It's strange bc they're usually sent out first (judging by the previous year's acceptances).

It seems to me that every year the process is a little different. Hold out hope everyone!

Keeping you on your toes! Make sure you post what questions you want us to ask USC in this thread:

Input needed - What questions do you have for USC admissions department?

I'm excited to announce I will holding a follow-up admissions department interview with USC SCA next month! Take a look at the first interview here: I'm open to questions from undergraduate and graduate students about the application process, campus culture and student life (clubs, etc.)...

Where do you see "N/A"? I check my portal under "decision status" and just shows "Notifications: you do not have any messages at this time."

You can click the "submit Application" and there is an"i" button next to your application module. There you can see the Track.
Hope it can help you.

Bracing for disappointment... It would track with this year so far

Where's my international squad?

Right here!
Trying to stay chill, but fooling no one

I’ll keep my chill until an international applicant is admitted. At that point, I’ll spiral into panic mode

This year has been beating me so much, I have no chill left and it's only February

I’m sorry to hear that! Here’s to hoping both of us receive some good news sooner rather than later.

Did you guys see the note on the login page that says "Notice: Starting 8:00 pm (PT) on Friday, February 23 through 2:00 am (PT) on Saturday, February 24, 2024, youSC and services accessed through youSC will be unavailable due to planned maintenance."?

Very fun timing!
(I didn't expect them to send notices during that time, but still, not the best week for maintenance lol)

 

[bddub24]

No matter what I do I can't view my decision status. Now it just shows this. Maybe a good sign? lol
