<p>haha fightonforsc are you from norcal?</p>
<p>Guys keep your hopes up! I just got accepted on Monday, and someone from my school got accepted TODAY.</p>
<p>Also definitely depends on where you are in the states... I live in Norcal so I expect some of those big fatties are still roaming around the midwest on their way to NY</p>
<p>Please everybody, take it easy! It ain't over 'till its over. My son just received his acceptance package today (Illinois address). </p>
<p>This is my first post, but I felt compelled to say something - The stress level here is palpable, and I'm worried someone is going to stroke out!</p>
<p>Some time ago, I sent another letter to USC in addition to my midyear grades basically telling them how I got this Bank of America Achievement Award (1 out of the 4 at my school who got it), along with a couple of other good developments. Anyways I just find out today that I made it to the finalist round, and none of the other kids at my school made it as finalists (320 kids are selected out of 3,200 to compete in regional competitions) my guidance counseler said it's pretty big and I really want USC to know cause i know they haven't made a decision on my app yet... maybe this will help a little? I'm thinking I could have my dad drop off a letter explaining everything at the admissions office on his way to work tomorrow. What do you guys thinK? Does this sound like a good idea?</p>
<p>I got my letter today! I got in!!!!!!!</p>
<p>^^ great JOB AMAZON!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!</p>
<p>I didn't hear back from USC</p>
<p>BUT I GOT INTO NYU!! :D</p>
<p>I'm psyched.. do you guys think NYU's admission difficulty is similar to USC's?</p>
<p>Wow, stressedout! That's awesome. Overall, NYU has a higher acceptance rate than does USC, but still, that doesn't mean anything. Some say NYU is even harder to get into, not that I necessarily agree, but, it's still a good sign. Which school did you apply to?</p>
<p>steinhardt for mass media communication</p>
<p>I'm not as nervous about USC because now I have somewhere I wouldn't mind going... USC is still the first on my list! </p>
<p>What about you, mainevent? Which schools have you gotten in so far?</p>
<p>Well, I did also apply to NYU, but still haven't heard back from them yet. I am hopeful, though, as most Tisch students have scores a lot lower than mine, and my portfolio was outstanding. I have only been accepted into Loyola Marymount University as of yet.
CONGRATS, Again. I'm really happy for you, man.
Don't worry about, USC, it's on its way too!</p>
<p>main, if i can get into NYU with 1870, 3.5 unweighted, I'm sure you'll have no problem with better stats and a fantastic portfolio.. especially if Tish kids got lower stats than you.. it was kind of a slight reach for me.</p>
<p>official NYU acceptance letters won't be mailed out until April 1st.. I just received an invitation for NYU DAY Reception.. I called in and they said that Steinhardt acceptances got it</p>
<p>I wonder, stressedout, if you ever called NYU to check the status of your application? I just called and I got the "Your application is complete" routine and the "You should be receiving a decision by April 1st" and, my favorite, "Decisions should start mailing next week" even though I know that isn't true.
Stupid people at these admissions offices.</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Well, maybe she wasn't bssing me after all.</p>
<p>haha she's not.. </p>
<p>which one would you go to if you were accepted to both? NYU or USC?</p>
<p>Hello, aren't we on the USC thread! USC, of course. They have the best Screenwriting program in the world, though, if NYU offers me more money, then I'll be awfully tempted. But, still, I need a beach, palm trees, and a more laid back ambience, none of which New York is highly noted.</p>
<p>haha.. me too!</p>
<p>where are you from? </p>
<p>I've been obsessed with USC ever since I visited LA last summer.. I'm so over the East Coast weather</p>
<p>Great, now I am a bit worried. I just called the dramatic writing department and they told me that I should have received a postcard verifying that they received my portfolio, which, of course, I never did. They are supposed to be calling me back to verify that it was received. Fabulous.</p>
<p>Well, I am living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina now, stressedout. I just really want to get away from this coast. Where are you from?</p>
<p>pittsburgh pennsylvania.. hickville 101</p>
<p>did you ask if they received it? when did u send it??</p>
<p>I sent it on 12/02, nearly a month and a half before their deadline. Oh, and don't feel bad about living in Hicksville, that's right up the street from me. Remember, I'm in SOUTH CAROLINA! I wish I were back in the Caribbean now... lol</p>
<p>Stressed OUt, Were you accepted to the GSP or the actual NYU school? I'm kinda excited if it was the actual school, even though I applied to the Stern School of Business, which is notoriously hard to get into. My stats were only a little higher than yours, so it makes me feel a little bit better since NYU is my second choice, although nothing can compete with USC!!</p>
