USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020

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.

Nah, man. You’re not off the hook quite yet. The trickle has just begun is all.

Lol, I really hope so. To up the stakes, if I get in I'll go get a spontaneous second tattoo

A USC Trojan tattoo?

You should get one anyway! Life’s too short to wait on USC to get more ink but I say that as a proponent of tattoos. Hahaha

The silence--so far--is not a decision. If my obsessive stalking of previous years' forums has told me anything, it's that decisions do genuinely roll out over a couple of weeks. No answer yet doesn't mean no.

And even if it is no--that doesn't reflect on you or your ability to write great things! Who knows the difficult decisions the usc staff has to make. Who knows what's around the corner. This industry is all about persevering. Those are the people who make it to the top.

(I hope this doesn't sound obnoxious from someone who just posted they were accepted, lol. I say this as somebody who has been rejected from A LOT of opportunities.)

I saw this earlier this morning because I was sure I'd get an email but I didn't. But then I realized maybe the emails are going out slower and it is already updated on the portal (Nevermind the fact I never actually read the instructions all the way through and never set up my Yousc portal). So I (create my profile) and log in, and low and BEHOLD, THE DECISION HAD COME 3 DAYS AGO!!!


I GOT IN!!!! I GOT IN!!!! I GOT IN!!!!!!!!!

PRAYERS COMPLETELY ANSWERED.

Don't get discouraged check the portal rather than look for an email...I think the emails may be going out slowly (or, of course because I never set up my account until before this morning, I just simply did not have on file to send the decision too). CHECK THE PORTAL THOUGH

It doesn't sound obnoxious and thanks for the pep talk. For my peace of mind I have decided it's not happening so I can move on to figuring out what I need to do now (I have been on the phone all morning, talking and texting up Plans B and C). I had to talk to a TV comedy writer recently for my current day job, and that person gave me some good advice and is now a contact (and, hopefully could become a mentor). It ain't over 'til I'm dead. Or 'til it's over.
