USC Writing for Screen and TV BFA 2024

[kcf]

Hey everyone!

I'm getting ready to apply to the Writing for Screen and TV BFA at USC. Applications for fall 2024 admission are due December 1st.

Anyone else?

It's a 4-year sequential program, so I'm a little bit nervous that if accepted I might be the only non-18-year-old. Does anyone have a sense of the age distribution or number of transfer students in that program?

I'd also love to hear from MFA applicants about how your applications are going, since from what I understand, all of the supplemental materials they ask for are the same.

Good luck! Here's our current stats from the program. Be sure to log your application as well once you apply.
