USC School of Cinematic Arts - Stark Proudcing Program 2021

[KristenWritesThings]

I had my interview today and I felt like it was tough one. I felt prepared but they asked tough questions.

They mentioned that they have two more weeks of interviews and decisions will be made mid to late March.

I’m sure you all have done great! Sending all my good vibes!

 

[Itrimble]

Thanks!

Interviewed last week. I'm not the best at interviewing but hopefully it went well enough to work. Best of luck everyone!

Hi all,

Just finished my interview. I agree with what was said above, it was a tough one. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone for being so supportive and well-spirited in this discussion, even if the interview process did not go your way. Best of luck to everyone

I'm sure it went better than you thought. What made it tough?

I guess I just hope I was able to holistically present myself and my passion for film in the course of 20 minutes!

Did they say when people would hear if they got in?

Be sure to update your application with how it went etc and change the status prefix if you have already.

How long were your guys' interviews? I saw somebody said 20 minutes and the other 30!

Hey, what’s going on everyone? New to this forum. I also interviewed this past week and am hopeful for a good response. While I gave answers that came top of mind, I agree with most and hope that they provided a glimpse of who I am. My interview lasted ~30 minutes including my questions.

Welcome! When you can, please add your application with as much info as possible to our database:

Application Database

A database of thousands of film school applications to calculate acceptance rates to film programs and the minimum GPAs, minimum SAT and GRE scores, experience of accepted applicants, and much more....

www.filmschool.org

The more applications in our database the more accurate our site's data will be.

Good luck!

So other USC programs have already begun releasing decisions, and since this is the last week for interviews I wonder if maybe some applicants will start hearing next week?

 

[JHD]

I’ve been thinking about this, and I feel like they could’ve started sending out rejection letters already (particularly to those who never got an interview) just to assuage some of the anxiety. I’m curious to know how they decide when to let people know and why this particular program seems to be later than the other MFAs. Obviously the class size is small and the program itself is quite highly regarded so making these choices must be incredibly difficult. I’m just fascinated by the process, I’ve kind of been fixating on it since there isn’t too much else going on at the moment for me and I can barely go a minute without the Stark name crossing my mind

 

[JHD]

So are we thinking this week maybe?

[Xanialeigh]

Got the email, I’m in!!! Can’t wait for this experience and to meet and collaborate with everyone.

I got in as well! I want to reiterate not to lose hope and that there are other great programs out there to support with a producing career. I am part of communities like Women of Color Unite, Breaking into Hollywood, and the #StartWith8Hollywood mentorship program, where I got matched with two entertainment executives.
