I'm registered (at the crack of dawn on the sixth, of course!!) and not much else. No home, haven't packed, it's pretty ridiculous, actually.
Slevin, I was wondering if you ever heard back. CONGRATS!! Plan on consuming drinks (adult or otherwise) with me soon after arrival, since you officially are the only person I've met in person at USC...even though we met at AFI, and it was only for five minutes.

Jayimess, I'm there, name the time and place... Thanks for the congrats, and congrats to you for going three for three on acceptances, that's HUGE, so nice to be wanted. You made the right choice in the end though... When are you planning on touching down? I'm headed to LA this weekend to do a preliminary apartment search but I'm planning on settling in for good around the 15th of August, so let me know when you hit the city limits. While I'm perusing apartments this weekend I'll ask around for which are the best areas to rollerblade at night so you can narrow down your search... Look forward to imbibing with you soon!!!!

Hey! Another stupid trojan here! MFA in Production. I just joined, invited by b4bad!
I didn't get to read all the posts, but answering some of what I read, I was told that 53 people got in for Fall 2007, which is weird, because we have to work in pairs in the next semester, but maybe there's someone from last Spring who'll be joining us. I as also told around 2000 people applied.
Hope to see you all this fall! Or spring.

Oh, and I'm not registered yet, apparently I can do it only after Passport Verification, after August 20th... Which factors are you taking to account to choose between classes (dates and professors)?

Congrats! I'm MFA Production too. I'll look forward to meeting you
I can't vouch for everyone, but I'm pretty sure you're assigned specific class sections for the first semester. I got a little packet that told me which sections of 507, 510 and 528 to register for and the online system seems to only allow you to sign up for those assigned. In a way, it's kinda nice because it leaves less for us to worry about and ultimately screw up, but it also prevents you from tinkering your schedule the way you want.

Oh, yeah, congrats to everyone too!!! I see, I didn't get that letter yet! I received the acceptance letter 11 days after the date we were supposed to confirm our intent to enroll. Luckily I received an email before that.
Hm, I already had a favourite for CTWR 528, I hope I get it! Well, I'll be happy anyway!

My ETA is the 15th of August. Jayimess,how's the apt. hunt comin'?
Also...Has anyone received a directory or class list for this year's incoming production class? I remember reading one of the screenwriters wrote they had but I haven't got anything for production, just curious...

Slev, I got a place in the hills of Echo Park, it's perfect.
I leave Ohio on Thursday...was supposed to be today, but then on Sunday my brand spankin' new Sentra had the nerve to be parked on a street and it got beat up by a Lincoln Town Car.
So, I'll be heading out in a rental Rav-4 instead.
Whatever, I'm going to LA.

Jayimess, are you going to have your Sentra shipped out later? What a pain. There's one more reason to hate Lincoln Town Cars. Ugly and destructive.
Slev, I have not gotten a Production roster or anything. The only recent development was the welcome e-mail from Michael Taylor w/ the attached PDF about the orientation BBQ and the film school welcome newsletter. Did you get that?

Yeah, Matty. They're gonna toss it on a car carrier truck when it's fixed...unless it's totaled (my personal hope...an accident at only 3031 miles destroys resale value) in which case I'll pick out a new one in LA.
Either way, it will work out, I guess. Their first option was to fly back to Cleveland and drive the trip again, probably three or four days after I get here.
I told them what I thought of driving 6000 miles in a span of two weeks by myself, so now we have a new plan...
It really sucks that USC didn't give you a roster, and that this page didn't attract more of your class, like the AFI kids...we SWs are all email and myspace pals, we've scheduled a writer's party the Sat. after the SCA barbecue, there's even a girl I talk to on the phone, etc. that I will be living near and carpooling with.
They're totally shafting you.
But it will all work out, and it's going to be awesome to meet all of you on the 24th!
