I check this forum more than I check my email. I feel like the forum is a more reliable indicator if there’s been any update on the portal. Having said that, I check both like crazy.

"Watch" the USC applications and you'll be notified instantly anyone updates their application in the database. You can also watch the 2020 category.

They keep sending me a financial supplement asking about how many units I’m taking each semester, and I called them and they told me to do it later. I’m so confused

I keep trying to tell myself it’s just a FAFSA thing Bc it probably is, but it’s just odd.

Are you an international student? I think they only request that information from non-US citizens, but I could be wrong.

Nope, I’m a US citizen.

I don't know about the Screenwriting applications, but I believe the general consensus is that the Production apps are at the scholarship committees now, so maybe you are being considered for a scholarship and they wanted more info about financial need. Just a guess though.

I've been so focused on the "admission decision" that I never cared to go through the financial aid portion. Are we supposed to complete the "financial supplement" before or after we find out? Has anyone completed it yet?

i truly have no idea. I called yesterday and was told it’s ok to wait. Did you get the same one?

How/when do you set up the portal? Not sure if I did it or not.

You should have gotten a link to it in the e-mail providing you with your 10 digit ID after submitting your app!

I haven't received any email informing me to fill it out but I just applied for financial aid recently, and I noticed there was a "financial aid supplement" I had not yet noticed. It requests intended unit count for the next four semesters (among other information), which, clearly, I do not yet have any knowledge about. I'm just curious if this was something we were supposed to fill out ages ago.

That sounds like the one I got. They said it doesn’t affect decision and we can wait.

"We can wait." If only that were so easy. I'm straight up stressing every other minute of the day. I was talking to my boyfriend about this, and we both decided that the wait is way worse than any rejection we've ever gotten. I just want to know one way or the other.

I couldn’t agree more, waiting is the worst
