Any news today? What are the chances that acceptances are still going out? Despite the username, I haven’t totally given up just yet!

nope. I’m viewing today as the last moment of truth. If I don’t hear anything then I’m just going to move on.

Hello everyone,! I have a quick question. I applied for USC Thorton's MM in Screen Scoring, I know this is a Film forum, but its the only forum I'm aware of and wanted to see if anybody knew if Thorton's grad decisions had come out yet?

Thank you!

New member here! Applied to USC MFA Screenwriting for the first time. Also haven't received any news this weekend or today... this process is kind of torturous, huh? haha

Yeah, it's confusing. I know from someone who knows someone in admissions that they were intending to send more acceptances during the weekend/week, but nothing has gone out for anyone, so I wonder if the coronavirus has anything to do with these delays.

I hate that this has given me hope.

My only fear with the current situation is that travel restrictions will make it harder for internationals to be accepted and/or waitlisted and therefore the current radio silence... oy

More acceptances... You mean for 2020 folks?? So there's still hope for us? *CRY*

I called the admissions office today to ask about scholarship info and was told it would be going out over the next few weeks. Does anyone know more about that? Should we be watching the portal for surprise updates or is this an email kind of thing?

 

[TheCasualReader]

Weird. I’m sporadically but infrequently locked out from checking the “decision status” on my portal this morning. It says “user does not have access at this time” or something. Then I log out, log back in and I have the same two bullet points and no message that I’ve come to know and love. It’s happened a couple times this morning... Is this happening to anyone else?

Does this mean I’m finally rejected? Stay tuned and join me on this adventure, won’t you?

 

[Deannae]

Same thing happened to me this morning as well! Unfortunately, there is no updated message... Just a lot of anxiety on my end

What are the two bullet points?

 

[TheCasualReader]

What are the two bullet points?

It’s actually three. They just specify that some graduate programs don’t use the portal to update your status, that you should save a copy of your letter for your records, and you will receive a separate notification for each grad program you apply to. That’s the gist of the three points.

Ah, I thought you meant the main page that you see after you log in. When I applied for undergrad a few years ago, that page changed from the 3 + 2 setup (Apply and Financial Aid choices) to just one thing: decision status.

If it helps I've been seeing that since I gained access to you.usc and I got waitlisted...?

 

[LEDAJ]

I'm starting to doubt we'll hear anything else. I just saw a rejection letter for stark producing program...

Can you log in without those problems now?

 

[Deannae]

Yeah, it's not doing it anymore. Probably just a glitch with the system or something.

Friday is over.
