<p>OMG. THE BACKDOOR LINK JUST WORKED FOR ME! i can
i dont even care if i didnt get into SCA! i’m going to USC!!</p>
<p>Just called SCA to get clarification on spring admits who were admitted as CLAS majors. SCA said that letters to freshmen who’ve applied to SCA are going out today. I’m assuming they mean letters are going to applicants who don’t already know their SCA status.</p>
<p>dream: You asked about my son’s letter date. I included all that info in my post last night. Recopied here:
(Note that he’s a spring admit, not a fall admit.)</p>
<p>"My son was also accepted for spring 2011. His letter arrived today 3/29, was dated 3/25, and his online status still states “being forwarded”. We are in Northern CA.</p>
<p>My son applied for production. Unlike NW Film, the second page of the letter says he was admitted as an undecided CLAS major (which was his second choice). It also says “As you know, the School of Cinematic Arts conducts special admission review of its candidates. However, we wanted you to know now that you have been accepted to USC in the major noted above. Once the School of Cinematic Arts notifies the Office of Admission of its recommendation, we will contact you again. In the meantime, please consult the School of Cinematic Arts bulletin to note the additional special documents that are required of you as a cinema applicant. If you do not supply the School of Cinematic Arts with these materials by the stated deadline, your application to their program may not be reviewed.”</p>
<p>This is very confusing. At first it sounds like my son should be hearing from SCA soon; then towards the end it sounds as if they expect him to reapply all over for the spring. Aargh! How frustrating is that? I’ll call to check tomorrow.</p>
<p>Quite honestly, this is only pushing my son towards NYU, which is where he was leaning anyway."</p>
<p>OMG UN0DOSTRACE THAT’S AWESOME. :D</p>
<p>does it say fall or spring for the link?</p>

<p>Congrats UN0DOSTRACE!!
I know you’re probably celebrating but can you tell me which link worked for you?</p>
<p><a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/AdmCertification/Commit.aspx[/url]”>https://camel2.usc.edu/AdmCertification/Commit.aspx</a></p>
<p>but the other two don’t work</p>
<p>i just called the admissions office and he confirmed my admittance!
im about to pee my pants</p>
<p>Which number do you call for admissions?</p>
<p>Also, what did you ask and what did they tell you?</p>
<p>(213) 740-1111</p>
<p>i know it has nothing to do with SCA, but i’m still excited!</p>
<p>btw, Trace… if you got your decision in the mail today, mine is in the mail today too.</p>
<p>MOM COME HOME AND OPEN THE FACKIN MAILBOX AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>wait, nevermind. you didn’t get it in the mail, you called them. XD</p>
<p>what exactly did you ask?</p>
<p>I asked him if I was able to pay the enrollment deposit, if that is an indication of admittance. The guy seemed like, dissappointed haha.</p>
<p>“Well…you’re supposed to get a packet first, but…congrats.”</p>
<p>That’s awesome, hahaha.</p>
<p>Dude, let me know when it’s in your mailbox. :)</p>
<p>Mail has arrived. Nothing from USC. I’m tempted to use this “back door.” The site says that it’s logged and not to use it unless you’ve already been accepted. How do you feel about doing it anyway? Am I being overly paranoid or obedient?</p>
<p>@newyorkerII - eh, I don’t think there are consequences for checking it. Plenty of people have used it to check and have still been accepted.</p>
<p>Just keep in mind that it sometimes doesn’t work even if you’ve been accepted.</p>
<p>un0dostrace were you accepted for spring or fall?</p>
<p>Has anybody received ANYTHING in the mail today for better or worse?</p>
<p>I just saw my mailman cart on the other side of the street, so I’ll see what’s good in a few minutes.</p>
<p>gugger - do you live in socal or nearby?</p>
