<p>Bump as the new wave comes.</p>
<p>Um, yo, everyone! My name is Keely. I guess I’m the first person in this thread who’s been accepted…? I don’t know, I’m not 100% about going yet–I haven’t visited and I need to allow for the possibility that I’ll get there and then not be able to leave fast enough–but I probably will.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I don’t know if this matters, but there was something wrong with my application, so I emailed my counselor, and she said this.</p>
<p>Dear xxx,</p>
<p>I just got off the phone with Samuel Kim, the Senior Admissions Director for the School of Cinematic Arts. We confirmed that all of your application materials for the School have been received. </p>
<p>So, no need to worry. As you can tell by the responses from their office, it will be some time before you hear a decision on your application. So in the meantime, keep up the good work, and enjoy what is left of your senior year.</p>

<p>so maybe it’ll be a looooong time until anyone from SCA hears a response? (I applied to Production, btw)</p>
<p>so writing and animation have admitted people to SCA. I noticed one production got admitted to USC but is waiting to hear from SCA. Anyone in to Production yet?</p>
<p>For all we know, they could have already notified everyone. It’s such a small pool, we can’t assume that there are that many SCA applicants on CC. Maybe it is time to start focusing emotional energy on other schools…
Congrats to those who got in!</p>
<p>waitinginca … oh I doubt it…based on last year’s acceptances…in to mid March…I think only scholarship recipients (Trustee and Presidential) are getting acceptances so far. Anyone know anything differently</p>
<p>I applied to production, was admitted to the university, but was told that results for SCA would come later. I am not a Trustee/Presidential candidate, though I did receive a Dean’s Scholarship.</p>
<p>in last year’s thread people were still getting acceptance/rejection letters the last week of march.</p>
<p>I was under the impression that you are first either accepted or rejected by the SCA, then your application is acted on by the University. Anon., you selected production as your first choice? I would think that implies you are accepted by the SCA.
I guess its impossible to figure out the process. I wish USC would just hold all of the decisions and release everything at the same time. This trickling out business is agonizing!</p>
<p>Waiting - I wish that were the case, but in my acceptance packet there was a sheet of paper that specifically stated that I am currently admitted as Undeclared and that Production has yet to make decisions. It was worded to give the impression that Production is not even done processing applications. But it did specifically state that Production will be releasing decisions at a later date. Agonizing, I know. And at this point it’s painful because I feel like I’m SO CLOSE to being able to go to my dream school… but know that the likelihood of getting into SCA is slim to nil.</p>
<p>anonymityftw I am in the exact same situation as you. I got a Dean’s scholarship, but no word from Production yet. I hate waiting… but from what the letter sounds like, we are going to be waiting until late March or April 1st…</p>
<p>Gyrotip…Is your Dean’s scholarship posted on the USConnect site or did you get a letter in the post (or both?)</p>
<p>chattykathy - I only received a letter from USC, I believe Tuesday. I just checked USConnect again and I did not have any sort of acknowledgment on there that I received a scholarship. As far as I know, they only notify you in the RSVP section of USConnect if you are invited to a Trustee/Presidential interview.</p>
<p>bumpity…!</p>
<p>My status went from “being reviewed” to “preliminary” last week. I checked yesterday (after not checking for 2 or 3 days) and it was “completed initial review/first term grades.” I submitted my midyear grades and it’s now “we received fall grades/requested.” I also never got the “you aren’t being considered for trustee/presidential” letter but my friend got it (we live 5 minutes away from each other so there’s no way it was a post office problem). I did finally get the “paying for college” letter today, though.</p>
<p>My friend also never got a request for midyear grades. However, her status changed to “We received the fall grades we requested, and require no additional information at this time. We will mail decisions to freshman applicants by April 1st.” even though she claims she didn’t send in midyear grades.</p>
<p>I think our stats are about the same. Only difference is I have an upward trend and she has a downward trend. I also have more ECs/volunteering and higher test scores… we both applied to SCA but I think she only applied for Production (I applied for P and CS).</p>
