USC Writing for Screen & Television MFA 2022

[its_me_mari]

@its_me_mari sorry this is so unsolicited but I applied for both USC and UCLA too and I'm so glad to see you getting into UCLA!! I was really encouraged by you cos you're also an international and have such a beaming smile in your profile pic. I started smiling when I saw the UCLA badge next to your name!

Wow! Thank you so much for this
It’s really hard to keep positive when trying to go to Film School. This is my second time applying and after facing rejection last year I decided to try again! It’s been crazy so far!
But I think the best part so far is just building a community somehow! Even if it’s helping someone with a profile picture, receiving an amazing message like yours or just talking to people in general! It makes it all better! Thank you, for real! You made my day!

Huuuuuge congrats on USC! Soooo happy to see your badge too! Let’s keep in touch!!! Going to LA will be crazy hahaha

And for those that got rejected don’t worry! Maybe it’s just a matter of different schools or something else! Don’t put yourself down because of it. It's hard to be in this place and I cried a lot last year to be honest, but just try again and I’m sure it will work out somehow! You are not a bad writer, don’t forget this! If anyone wants to talk about reapplying or just chat in general, my DM is always open!

It's probably a delayed rejection, but did anyone else not receive any type of decision. I applied to both film production and screewriting and only got a rejection for production this morning. Is it possible that other decisions regarding screenwriting are out there?

Got my rejection letter at the yousc portal. Good luck to everyone else!

I have just received my rejection as well :/ good luck everyone who still haven't heard anything!!

I had to create a brand new USC portal account...just to be rejected...not the greatest experience...

I'm joining the line of people who are saying they got their rejection notice.
It sucks, but on to next year.

Rejected, but encouraged to reapply in the future LOL.

Same here! Rejected too!

So sorry to hear! But don't worry... This is all part of the process. Not everyone gets in the first time and it's not a judgement on you. You are all awesome and keep trying. We have a bunch of blog posts and articles from people who took many times to get in.

There are some good posts in this forum below on this:

Reject Café

Rejected from Film School? Commiserate here and strategize your next moves. Remember it is relatively normal for it to take multiple attempts to be accepted to film school!

Also feel free to create a new thread there as well to talk about it and support each other.

I applied to both. Haven’t received anything for screenwriting

I got waitlisted for screenwriting on Wednesday night, is it wise to send a letter of continued interest? I can't find any info on if they do or do not accept those.

I got rejected too

Hi y'all! Is anyone here coming to the in-person admitted graduate student event that USC is hosting on April 1st? I'm based in LA, so I will be there!

Anyone who went to the accepted students day- how was it? Any info that swayed your decision either way?
