hey Bartelby,

I haven't gotten mine yet either. I was called a few weeks back. But that's neither here nor there. I'm on the east coast as well. It seems only west and mid west people have gotten their letter.

I didn't get an e-mail, and the letter was the first contact I've had from USC since I submitted my FAFSA.

I'm in southern California (about forty minutes from campus).

I'm not sure if this helps, but the letter I received was mailed out on April 25th (according to the postage stamp).

I did not receive a call or an email. I got my financial aid stuff after I sent them my FAFSA, and shortly after received my acceptance letter (I believe mine was mailed around the 25th also). I live in Austin, TX.

I was called in mid-March, received my letter on Saturday the 26th. It was also postmarked the 25th. I live in Los Angeles.

Just got my acceptance letter(s) and packet today. Wow! I didn't expect this at all, after having been waitlisted everywhere else on earth. I am in NYC and my letters were postmarked 4/25. Congrats to all other waitlisters and admits! Now the decision-making process begins. . . .

Hey guys i also got waitlisted for Fall and admitted into Spring.. Jayimess.. it sounds like you were in the same situation last year?

Thanks so much for all of your support. i feel like you're a big sister to us lol..

One bit of confusion.. you said "being waitlisted is like an 80% chance of getting in for Fall"

but you also said they accept 50 students for Fall, and another 50 for Spring...

I'm not totally clear on how that would result in an almost likely admittance for Fall.. could you possibly elaborate on that?

THANKS AGAIN! I owe you big time

Wow! Today the letter came. I am on the waitlist-- which for me is the best option since I only want to start in the spring semester so that I can finish the film I am working on! And I get to go to Burning Man again.

Huge shout out for all of us new admits!

Congrats, everyone!

Just to clarify, I was waitlisted for Screenwriting...not production. We only have fall admission.

They do accept 50 and 50, but the spring admit/fall waitlist was a pretty popular letter on these forums last fall, and the vast majority were bumped up to fall admit. I can think of at least twenty people.

Does that clarify?

I found out in early May, but the PR kids found out on a rolling basis from May on out...one dude, Slevin, found out in mid-August!

It was hard for me to believe when I got bumped off...who would turn down USC, I thought to myself.

But I turned down schools...people do it all the time, for various reasons...to attend another program, money, work, family, other opportunities.

My class is actually one short, because someone dropped out before school started...don't know why they didn't bump someone up!

I finally got my thick envelope from Production and I'm so excited!

Anyone else definitely going?

Well I'm still waiting on my decision letter... it's OK, i think I'm handling it pretty well. I'm only checking the mail 5 times a day (even though I know the mail has already been dropped), I'm barely going on this forum ( I'm only counting the times I'm writing a post though) and I have learned to control myself and not go to the USC online application (Twice a day is reasonable for some people). Roll Eyes

k-mee... i'm sure at this point you could call them to find out about the decision. do you live far away from usc? you should have heard unless it's stuck in the mail!

I did call them, that's how i found out they've sent my decision letter on the 15th. but they wouldn't give me the answer by phone and later they wrote in a mail that a new decision letter has been generated and sent to me.
I live in France so the mail is supposed to take between a week and ten days not over 20 days.
I think I'm just gonna give them a friend's address who lives in California; that way it will be faster.
thanks for the support

K-Mee,

Can they send it to you via email? I'm so sorry that must be incredibly frustrating to have to be waiting so long!

bscofield,
The first time i called they said they would send me the answer by e-mail within a day or two; and a few hours later i received a email saying they couldn't give me my decision letter this way and they will send it by mail instead...
well I have done everything i could so i guess i have nothing to do except wait.

To all of you accepted to the graduate program CONGRATS! Now I highly recommend that you start bothering everyone in the department about getting a TA position. Not only will you get paid, but it will cover your graduate tuition.

Thanks, Kyle... I am definitely going to pursue getting a TA position. How does that work? Surely you can't apply as a first year? Or can you? How much of your tuition does it cover? What opportunities are available for production students specifically? Thanks!
