USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA Screenwriting Fall 2020 (2 Viewers)

I got my pack in the post with the immigration stuff but it wasn’t the usual pack I’ve seen people get before? Literally just an envelope with visa forms in, no red pack and no letters from the school itself? Have they stopped doing them or do they not do it for international students?

I can only speak for Production, but in past years students have been told that you wouldn’t be receiving a physical version of your acceptance package if your address was outside the United States.
 
Oh, thats sad :(
It is sad and it makes even less sense if it's simply a cost-cutting measure. If it was an incoming class of a few thousand or even several hundred international students then maybe I'd get it, perhaps it adds up quickly. But a couple dozen at most in our small but WELL-funded programs? For a total cost of maybe $800 or $1k for printing and postage? I'm fortunate to be a domestic student myself, but I just hope this isn't indicative of a different tier of treatment for our international peers going ahead...
 
Hey all, hope you are staying safe out there! I'm new to the forum but was accepted to USC MFA Screenwriting a few weeks back. Best of luck to you all.
Welcome and congrats! Be sure to add your application to the tracker. :)

 
I can't convince myself anymore. 😂 I don't know what's in it for them if they don't send out the rest of the acceptances under these circumstances... So...
 
I just sent them an e-mail regarding whether or not decisions have come to a temporary halt because of the coronavirus. . I also asked them if more acceptances are coming out. I'll update y'all when I hear back. Stay safe folks.
Covid is messing a lot up.

Maybe we can host classes on filmschool.org. ha

Stay safe everyone. I fear the worst is yet to come. :(
 
i’m almost 100000000% certain they sent out all acceptances bc they only send out 32 and a lot of people already got theres and once again not to sound like a broken record but a lotta people don’t post on here if they got in or not so u have to take that into account
