Anyone hear back yet for this year?
@Dudu123456 I received an interview request last night. I’m scheduled for it tomorrow and I’m freaking nervous. I don’t know what to expect, and I’m not sure if the interview means I’m in the running or something.
@hermit1214 Hearing back is a good sign I think! I’ve been wondering if being reached out to means something. But good luck on your interview tomorrow! You got this.
@Dudu123456 have you heard from them?
and thanks bud! I’m actually really nervous, to be honest.
@hermit1214 Unfortunately, I haven’t lol
This might help calm your anxieties a bit?

Either way, just be yourself and that’s the most important thing!
@Dudu123456 Don’t worry, I heard some people don’t get interviewed but still get accepted!
Whattt That’s a relief! @hermit1214
@Dudu123456 yep! they say more than half that are accepted doesn’t get any request for interviews!
What majors did y’all apply for at SCA? I’m thinking that might have an impact. I haven’t heard anything yet, either.
@saderobinsonacts I applied for Film Production, and Screenwriting as the second choice. I’m scheduled for a Skype interview in 45 minutes and freaking out.
@hermit1214 oh ok, I applied for screenwriting as my first choice. Good luck!!!
Good luck! You’ll do great! Show em what you’re made of!!
I feel you, though–I just got a request to interview about an hour ago and I’m already nervous! I applied to the Interactive Media and Games program which is kinda at the opposite end of SCA, haha.
I just got done with my interview… seems like it went well. He just told me to relax because I sent in a strong application.
Congrats! Just wondering but which department in Production did you interview with? I also got an interview (although I’m trying to Internally Transfer to Production).
@CollegeStudentTime I interviewed with Film Production
@hermit1214 Oh, right, but was the faculty member you interviewed with a part of a specific field of production (directing, or editing, or cinematography for example)? Just wondering because mine was, but I can’t tell if everyone gets an interview like that or if it’s just because I mentioned a particular role I wanted to do in production in my personal statement.
@CollegeStudentTime he just said that he was a professor in production at USC, I’m not sure whether he’s in directing or cinematography class.
Just wondering, did your interviewer not to worry after the interview and states that your application is strong? I think I did well on the interview, but I’m still pretty worried since I don’t really have the best stats. The only thing that really puts a shine on my application is my service in the military…
@hermit1214 I haven’t had mine yet actually but I’ll let you know.
@CollegeStudentTime Oh cool, thanks! btw, you should list down questions that you want to ask the interviewer.
@hermit1214 Gotcha, will do! Although mine will probably be a bit different since I’m already at USC, just not in the Film Production major. Also what are the chances that I’d be asked to submit new material? I’m a bit worried on that since I left my main hard drive in my LA apartment which I can’t access right now.
