USC SCA Writing for Screen and Television MFA Fall 2024

[Nunyabidness]

Did anyone already admitted get offered scholarships or any other type of financial help from SCA?

I called the Financial Aid Office yesterday. They said they have not yet received FAFSA information. So, at least in the case of domestic students, I was told no financial awards have been issued and to expect my financial aid package in March.

Hey crew! Logging on to say that I just got waitlisted for Fall 2024 so there's still a chance for anyone waiting!

Same! I was just waitlisted. Fingers crossed, it pans out for us.

Has anyone received denials?

I'm mentally preparing myself because it looks like that's what's coming. Denials are usually the last ones to go out from what I've observed in the past and it's all crickets on my end, so...

That's what I'm thinking too. I guess on the good aspect, it's the start of March so it's earlier than the Mid-March proposed timeframe.

I found that timeline weird anyway because they're usually all done by mid-March, rejections included

I'm shocked that no international students from this forum were admitted. There's always quite a few, judging by past years.

I mean, we're not a super representative sample

Also, despite what they said to other applicants on the phone (I don't see the point of confusing people about their established process tbh), they're following the usual procedure: 1st batch/week acceptances, 2nd batch/week waitlist, 3rd batch/week rejections

Oh, I know we're not - but looking back over the years, I find it odd. I hope good news comes through for you.

Now, I'm wondering...

For those who have applied multiple times in consecutive years, do you have to mail them your grades again? Because that's honestly a PIA (in case I decide to re-apply, which I haven't decided yet)

Never mind, I found the answer and I'm leaving it here in case anyone decides to re-apply this year

Ugh. Not hearing anything over here yet. Not feeling positive about USC. On a bright note NYU interview, waitlisted for Texas and awaiting post interview Columbia university.

For those who have already been admitted, when is your cutoff date when you need to submit a letter of intent to enroll? Signed, all those waitlisted lol

Congratulations everyone! If you're in the area, I believe waitlisted students are still invited to admitted students events and they have zoom options too!
