As of right now, I can log into Camel. No official response yet, but I am finding it very very VERYYYYY hard not to get excited about this. I guess I should wait for the official response, but I am still shaking...
 
Writing from pennsylvania so am a little tired! But I also was just able to get into camel, and let me tell you those humps were painful and camel needs a shower badly-too many days in the desert! It's been a looooooooong road to get here-been rejected by usc sca many times before today(too embarassing to admit publicly) but the doors to film nirvana may have finally been breached-what a siege, like the siege of stalingrad (ww2) or the siege of masada(ancient israel). Am I dreaming? Or what? How long you ask? I was in high school when episode4 ofstar wars was released! Yup-true story! Good luck to all-I really don't know if I'm in, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
 
Hi all, Here is my updated status.
I submitted my application on Aug 1

  • Got 2 hits on my vimeo Sep 17/ 25
  • Had a phone interview, Sep 27,
  • Got email from the director of admissions, Oct 4 (need of some information regarding my educational history)
  • Can log into Camel, TODAY, Oct 15
Hope this might be helpful.
Congrats & Good Luck Guys!
 
Received an acceptance email this morning that said my official letter should arrive shortly. Good luck! Moving back to LA after leaving 7 years ago. Cheers!
 
So, after many months of anxiety and thoughts of 'what if I dont get in'', I made my decision online.....USC SCA was something I wanted to be part of since I was 17 and now that I am 30 I was given the opportunity to join (1st attempt)...but after a lot of deliberation I chose to decline...I hope my spot goes to one of you on this thread. Good Luck!
 
Hello!
I feel like such an idiot for not having been a part of this thread the last three months as part of the anxious collective waiting to hear from the school. I received my admittance letter last Friday as well after my first attempt. For a moment I almost collapsed upon seeing the small envelope. For some reason I expected one of the lavish admittance packages they sent; I naively concluded an envelope meant rejection. Well just wanted to get on here and say hello to my soon to be fellow Trojans, and wish good luck to those still waiting.
 
As I have been unable to log into camel, nor received any kind of email or letter yet, I must assume that I have been rejected this time around. I wish all those who got accepted the best of luck. As for me, on to the next round of applications!
 
Received an email yesterday about admission and the "official" letter is said to follow. They are doing it in batches so good luck everyone!
 
Just received my admission letter today in the mail!!! I am so excited!!! Can't wait to meet you all!

Hang in there everyone else... they are still sending out letters, don't lose hope.
 
Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum. Just wanted to give some hope to those of you that hadn't hear anything. This is my second time applying. I took up the offer to use the same application from the Fall for the Spring. I thought I would get rejected again, since it was the same exact application, but this time I actually got an interview and today I got a letter in the mail telling me that I am on the waitlist. I'm just thrilled to not be rejected lol. Anyway, if you haven't heard anything yet they are sending out waitlist letters. Good luck!
 
I actually just recently received a letter as well. Snail mail really is slow. Anyway, turns out I also somehow got waitlisted. So it is certainly better than I thought it would be, but it still means being in purgatory for a while longer. o_O Hope everyone else is having as good (I think it's good) or better luck. :D Just hoping my luck holds out and a seat opens up. :D

Question for all other waitlisters: Did your letter say you would receive an email with directions? Have you already received that email yet?
