OFFICIAL School of Cinematic Arts 2014 Applicants/Results

<p>Maybe SCA is still sending out spring admission offers? No one who has been rejected so far has been from SCA, other than corby. :/</p>

<p>@nw - I mean the stuff you had to write for sca. Want to know if you wanna swap writing samples.</p>

<p>He said their still sending out dhls? Slight hope…</p>

<p>My email is <a href="mailto:mitch_eisner@mac.com">mitch_eisner@mac.com</a></p>

<p>Once again congrats buddy</p>

<p>NWfilmstudent…WOW congratulations. That is such great news. CS or Production? Where are you from?
Dream…I actually had the same thought…maybe some of those with “acted on” status from SCA will actually get in. Wish those who posted earlier on this forum would post again with their results.</p>

<p>@dream. waiting for that letter. admission to critical or film will be here later in a sep. envelope according to admin. i don’t think i would have been accepted to usc unless crit or film accepted me. i know one student was accepted to just usc but not sca department. my stats are not that strong so we will see. the admit guy talked a minute about transferring from undeclared etc. the general envelope had the admission letter, a frame-able 8x10 welcome certificate and the costs are out of this world. hope i will be able to afford this.</p>

<p>Mitch: yep, I will send stuff…I am hoping that you get in… we need Canadians to calm us USA guys down…</p>

<p>csulb and fullerton ugh I was going through hella problems around application time and ended up not applying to hellof schools that I should have and now im hellof regreting it… congrats tho</p>

<p>Mom: see my post to dream.</p>

<p>Guys: I will ck and see what back doors are doing…but remember that I have been the one that could not access USConnect. Oh, the admission guy was laughing with my mom about all of us on this site, trying to decipher what this and that meant…</p>

<p>Naturally, haha. Well, I don’t think backdoor links have been working for anyone who got in recently except for a select few. :/</p>

<p>Corb: I got into CSLB-They have a really up and coming Film Studies program. Spielberg went there…</p>

<p>Congrats NW, that is good news. Sorry Corby :(…I got rejected straight out of high school too :(</p>

<p>Does USC ever release numbers/acceptance rates for SCA? How many people do you think apply for each division/overall?</p>

<p>They never release those numbers, but the number most frequently tossed around is that their acceptance rate is around 5%. Since SCA has 865 undergrads, I would say that ~17,000 people apply. I have no idea what the statistics are for each individual program, though.</p>

<p>@nwfilmstudent…make sure to let us know when you get the letter from SCA… are you CLAS undecided on your acceptance letter with a further note that they will contact you when SCA makes their decision?
@franz… have not seen published numbers but it appears that production maybe accepts 60 for 50 seats. Over 1000 apply for production. Not sure about other concentrations in SCA</p>

<p>I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back here and let you know that my D who had applied to Prod 1st choice and CS 2nd choice was admitted to USC undeclared, rejected from Prod and still waiting for CS. The date on the letter was the date her status changed to reviewed 3/19 and the postmark was 3/23. We got the package on 3/24. Best of luck to all of you!</p>

<p>The amount accepted for each program are as follows:
Production - 50
Critical Studies - 75
Writing - 26</p>

<p>But I have no idea how many apply.</p>

<p>Does anyone else think CS is maybe finishing up decisions?</p>

<p>have all the screenwriting acceptences gone out or been received?</p>

<p>Congrats shicko and nwfilmstudent!</p>

<p>Aww…corby that sucks :frowning: But CSULB’s art and film programs are very good, and it is a Princeton Review value college!</p>

<p>@slaz - we have no way of knowing. :c</p>

<p>@corby - Spielberg got rejected from SCA twice AND he went to CSULB, so don’t fret. :)</p>

<p>@everyone - well… I think at this point it’s safe to assume Production has finished making decisions and Critical Studies is the one that’s finishing up. The reason I think CS isn’t finished is because nwfilmstudent and stressedmom’s D were both admitted to CLAS and their letters said SCA still had to make a decision.</p>

<p>Hi guys. My letter does not say any major or any school, which is why we called admissions. he said that a follow up letter will be forthcoming from SCA. He claimed to not know or was going to share what their decision was. Admission told us that if I get rejected from SCA, then I go in as an undeclared. So, who knows. I just keep thinking that since I am not a 4.0 with 2400 SAT’s, that I must have been accepted to something at SCA. I bet it will be CS. At this point, I don’t care…</p>
