USC Screenwriting MFA - Fall 2019 (4 Viewers)

• The funniest part to me about my letter is that it's saved as "Fall 2017" for the title, which is interesting, as that was the first year I applied for the program.

Mine is saved as USC_2017! Very weird. Congratulations!!

And this is your first time applying to USC, right? Huh. Either someone accidentally put down the wrong year when they submitted all the letters, or we have a classic case of an admissions office worker traveling from the past to make sure that the future timeline (that he already saw, what with his whole time machine and everything) remains intact. This comes in the form of who gets accepted into USC into 2019, of course. In his hurry to literally save the future, the guy accidentally wrote down the year of his home time: 2017. It happens to the best of time travelers, so he shouldn't be too hard on himself.

Yeah, it's definitely one of those two things.

Yeah, first time.

Both of those sound pretty plausible to me. OR the formatting on the acceptance letters from 2017 was perfect and it's their gold standard for letters. Or it's not even referencing the year 2017, but the 2,017th version of the letter.

They thought a bunch of writers wouldn't notice...

Congratulations @haleyk and @QueenV !!!!

i wish there was a way to ask the admissions ppl what went wrong with your app....like was my CV garbage? or did you not like my samples? or am i making a joke of myself by even pursuing this career hahaha

congrats to those who got in!

They accept 32 right? and I think I counted 8 on this forum. (besides the one friend) 1/4 of the class is right here!

Wow, that's real impressive. I'd have to check the previous sheets again, but my gut says that's the most (or at least one of the most) members of a class for this program accepted from this forum.

Let's get it to a 1/3, y'all! Only 3 more people would have to check in (well, technically, two and like a half, but I don't think Angus T. Jones will be attending this program.)

Mine is saved as the same!

Just curious, how many got accepted and submitted something other than a script for their 10 pg sample?

I submitted ten pages of a feature, but it was in the middle ?‍

that’s such a good question because i submitted a short story sample and now i’m stressing out if that was a bad decision or not haha

I have heard people get in from poems, so... we have no idea, really. ?‍

Joining this forum increases your chance of being accepted 200%! ha

Ooh, I'm so curious too. I wrote a poetry-screenplay hybrid inspired by a Romanian-French surrealist writer & that decision has been keeping me up at night, but it's also some of my best work. Overthinking every detail of my application right now, ooof.

Btw, I just spoke with a school representative to find out when we will find out about scholarships and funding. The rep informed me that they have already scheduled the scholarship information to go out and we should be notified soon. So here's to also hoping for some funding!

I submitted the first 10 pages of one of my pilots.

That’s so confusing considering that when I called they told me that decisions haven’t even come out yet. Lol I wish we had a straight answer regarding everything.

Mine was also the first 10 of a pilot.

I submitted a short film.
