FSU Film Summer Admission

<p>Hi all, I was accepted to USC under the summer admission term.</p>

<p>I applied as a Film Major, and I realize the admission process is separate, so does anyone know if getting into summer vs. fall affects my acceptance into their program? Or do I still stand an equal chance of getting an interview? </p>

<p>Also, when are we supposed to hear back from them regarding who moves on and who doesn't?</p>

<p>It’s just like the music school which my son was accepted to - whole separate application and approval deal, it’s all online but call the film school directly.</p>

<p>Are you asking about FSU or USC? My son is in FSU film school class of 2015, so let me know if you have questions.</p>

<p>FSU film. In the past, they accepted 20 freshman(high school seniors currently) and 10 transfers(college freshman currently) as you don’t actually start film school/classes until sophomore year and that’s all you are allowed to take. No other classes for those 7 semesters. Last year, however, they cut that number in half, so 10 freshman and 5 transfers for a class of 15 students rather than 30, so much tougher to get in. I believe they did this to allow the students ample equipment time. With that being said, I think that is the norm going forward. Interviews are typically end of February and beginning of March. You will be notified probably by phone call if you have been selected for an interview sometime early to mid February. With the larger class, they interviewed 48, so I’m guessing they may only interview 25 or so for the 10 spots. After interviews, you typically don’t find out if you made it in until sometime in April.
Hope that helps. I believe they get a few hundred applicants; at least in the past.</p>

<p>Oops, I mean Florida State. The USC thing was a total typo. Thanks guys! </p>

<p>I e-mailed Florida State the other day since I have to accept the summer admission by February but I won’t hear from the cinema school until February and I would have to go through the whole admissions process but they said it was non-binding. Can someone clarify this?</p>
