Official USC Decision Thread

<p>That's what I thought. I just was thinking about animation and wasn't sure where that belonged to. I'll try though, because that's the only thing I want to major in.... (i'll be broke if i major in fine arts.. cough)</p>

<p>USC does not offer an undergraduate major program specializing in animation. They do offer a minor in Film, Video, and Computer Animation, as well as a graduate program in Animation and Digital Arts. Something to consider might be continuing with the Fine Arts major, but pursuing the animation minor I mentioned with an animation focus in grad school.</p>

<p>Decision: <strong>ACCEPTED!</strong></p>

<p>Yeah, I knew that they didn't have animation major in undergrad school, which would be why I went with Fine Arts, my 2nd major.</p>

<p>Would I be behind by any chance if I majored in animation in grad school? </p>

<p>And would animation minor be hard? Animation is my main focus...</p>

<p>I'm not sure what you mean by "hard."</p>

<p>As far as being behind for grad school, I think an animation minor and fine arts major would have you more than ready for the grad school animation program.</p>

<p>As in difficulty in the level of work (i don't know if i can handle it all.. that was my concern)</p>

<p>Thank you for the kind reply. That really helped me. ^_^</p>

<p>damn guidez, your #1 in your class i would have thought you'd have a higher SAT</p>

<p>Question,
Has there been anyone who has got in who hasn't been able to logon to explore USC?</p>

<p>lol, i'm lazy. I didn't study, and didn't take it again.</p>

<p>hey guidez did u get the packet through mail or were u just able to log onto explore USC</p>

<p>and if u got a packet in mail, were u able to log on to explore USC before?</p>

<p>thanks man, and congrats on ur acceptance</p>

<p>Just exploreusc, but I'm positive I've been accepted.</p>

<p>Once I was able to log on to explore, the first thing the website said was:</p>

<p>"MY NAME, Congratulations on your recent acceptance to the University of Southern California!" </p>

<p>well it was something along those lines, but the congrats, name, and accepted were all there! lol</p>

<p>myabe if i keep logging in the admin or something will see that i mdae like 5000 attemps.. and just admit me based on that...maybe?</p>

<p>ok fine.</p>

<p>If this helps anyone: D rec'd her acceptance in the mail, and tried to log onto Explore USC that night. She still got the "do not recognize you" red text. And the packet was mailed to her 4 days previously. But finally today she was able to log onto Explore. So there is hope, even if you can't log on.</p>

<p>madkapitolist - LOL. D felt the same way</p>

<p>why do parents refer to their children as D and S here. are parents that lazy? lol</p>

<p>congrats guidez89!!! i'm so glad you got in! : )</p>

<p>Thanks, :) I'm so glad too! Who knows when the finaid stuff comes in?</p>
