USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

[itcomesatnight]

The last 3 years of application data and thread posts on this site indicate that international applicants begin receiving notifications first from USC, then 1-3 days later the first batches of domestic applicants receive their notifications. It’s a continual process from there. I think you misunderstood as if we’re saying ALL international applicants get notified that first day, which is of course not the case. It just begins earlier.

Forgot to ask - by international do you mean people who were born somewhere other than the US and studied outside or do they also count internationals as someone who went through college here? Honestly just curious cuz I have no clue. Hope you get in!!

I think by international they mean everyone but U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Basically, if you need a visa to study here you are considered an international student, and that in turn means your U.S. government-sponsored funding access is somewhat limited (i.e. grad PLUS loans, Stafford loans, etc.).
I hope you get the good news any day now, too.

Shoot boss... I went to USC for undergrad but I'm originally Brazilian. I wish I was born here. Darn it.

It was an email telling me to go to youSC. I still have to submit the proof that I can afford it (which is a whole other stress) but I’m in!!!

Congrats everyone whose got in so far! There's awesome!

As I mentioned in the other thread...To all those who want the USC badges and access to the private USC forum (which was also quite active in previous years) see this thread here for how to get it:

HOT TO: Join Private Film School Clubs, get Film School Badges, & access Private School Forums

The Student Club system is a perk for Supporting Members that allows accepted applicants, current students, or alumni to have private discussions that are not visible to non-members and el Google. Think of it as similar to Facebook's Private Groups. It's a safe place for you to share more...

Woohoo! Good luck to everyone else too! It's not over yet!

BIG MOOD. I really need someone to hide my phone so I stop obsessively refreshing my email.

Oh my god this sums up all of me right now

 

[Memz]

Ahhh I didn't apply to USC but it makes me so happy to see people getting accepted! You must be so happy right now, I hope you're all busy celebrating today - it's such a momentous thing. CONGRATS!

So if you're international and you didn't get an email you're out? Alas, that fucking sucks. I didn't get anything. Guess I'm out.

Based on the years and years and years of posts I've read here in the last couple of months, I'd say no it doesn't mean that at all.

So if international notifications started this morning, does that mean domestic notifications start tomorrow? And go throughout the next 7 or so days?

God, let's hope so @pablo86 'cause I can't take this not knowing much longer.

Yes! Perhaps in the wee hours of Monday morning, some of us might get it. But, yes! USC acceptances tend to roll, and unfortunately, it might be into the next week. Those of us who know first are the lucky ones...
