SCA Applicants

<p>Sorry to hear that JJ227, but your situation does provide insight for others who applied to undergrad Production (like myself). It means that SCA has begun making their final decisions (they would of had to compare everyone to accept or reject anyone at all). This means we may be able to expect some SCA Production admits earlier than last year (which only really came in the last week of March, except for a very small number which came in the third week). I really hope I hear back next week, one way or another, because its really stressin me out!</p>

<p>JJ227, has that changed your decision on whether to attend USC?</p>

<p>Yes, I hope that it will help you guys along in the process. I know it's a difficult one.</p>

<p>Poik, honestly, I'm not sure I want to anymore. - USC has been my top choice for 2 years, and I've wanted to do USC Film for that long. I had prepared myself for the worst, and I was ready to accept that I might not be in the 4% that was accepted. Perhaps I will reapply next year as a transfer, but I will probably be doing that from another university, not from inside USC. I would hate to attend USC in hopes of getting into USC Film and then never get in; what a HUGE waste of money that would be.</p>

<p>I was actually quite turned off by the letter I received. Not because it was a 'you didn't get into your desired major' letter, but because of the unpersonalized nature of it. I have been in the college process for a long time now, and I have never ever received a letter that didn't have at least a computer generated signature on it. I'm not sure if this is normal, but my letter was just a tiny piece of USC letter head in the corner and then a machine printed out response. Schools are always telling us that we are not "just numbers," but USC just made me feel like just that. </p>

<p>Either way, I wish you guys all the best in your admission decisions. It's still a great program that they have (arguably the best there is), and I hope you guys get in!</p>

<p>As for me, I'm not sure what I'm doing, or even if I'll be majoring in a film-related degree anymore.
Time will tell.</p>
