USC School of Cinematic Arts SCA MFA Film & TV Production Fall 2020 (6 Viewers)

Hi guys, this might not be the correct forum but did anyone get anything from other schools? And anyone considering other programs than USC? How are the internship and employment opportunities? I have heard that USC grads have a good employment rate, which is a big part for me as I'll be taking some loan from my home country.
 
Me too. I hardly see “denied after interview” for this program in this forum. I’m so anxious now...
Let's keep hopes high, maybe they'll send the next round of decisions over the weekend, because I still believe that we get a chance💪 (I know I just said I'm losing hope but hhhhh)

Hello everybody! It’s my first time posting here but I’ve been reading this forum everyday since I got my interview invitation. I got waitlisted and I was wondering if anyone knows what is the next step after accepting the waitlist offer?
 
Hey guys. Anyone know what kind of invitation do international applicants and their spouses receive after submitting passports? I’m wondering how big are chances of my wife to receive visa in our situation where we just married because it might look like we married only for her to improve our chances to move to LA with me.
Do we both receive some kind of invitation for university?
Also wanted to say “hi” to a fellow Ukrainian! I moved to the USA about 3 years ago from Odessa :) so if you have any questions about the logistics of moving to the US let me know! I was also very amazed and inspired by your personal statement and your film! No wonder you got in! Hope to meet with you at USC!

Also wanted to say "hi" to a fellow Ukrainian! I was in Krivoy Rog for a month's volunteer 3 years ago 😝 And the experience there is pretty memorable and amazing for me! I love Ukraine very much and people there are all very nice, hope we can all meet at USC ;)
 
Interview with @USCSCAAlumni/Faculty coming very soon. :) The interview was almost 2 hours long and the article is some 8,700ish words and around 25 pages long! 😲

I think we’re just going to have to hang tight for a little while. Based on how things have worked in the past, it seems that next steps don’t go into effect until we:
a) get admitted off the waitlist for Fall 2020
b) get our offer letters for Spring 2021

Hey, guys. Wow! Nice to meet you here! Not so many people on a tread and three of them are connected to Ukraine one way or another. That’s quite surprising!

надеюсь, ребят, что так или иначе пересечемся в кино! 😉
 
Waitlisted!!

Congrats! I gave you the USC badge and access to the private USC forums. Thank you for being Supporting Members!
 
Hi guys, I’m gonna be in LA for an interview at a different school and was thinking that I could visit USC while I’m there. I went online and couldn’t find very many dates for info-sessions and tours. Anyone have any idea where I can find that information? Should I just call? 🤷‍♀️
