<p>Hi Everyone,
I just started looking through this site today for the first time, and noticed that not too many people have applied to USC's Film School. I just wanted to start this thread so we have a place to talk about stats, your supplemental apps, your specific major, and whether or not you've gotten an acceptance letter yet. No one else at my school, that I know of at least, applied to the Film School so I have no one to relate to lol.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>ya i got an acceptance letter already, n they are offering me a deal with a major holywood film studio as well</p>
<p>lol, sorry guys that is my best friend trying to be silly, ya she got an acceptance letter but to the business school. better luck next time "imsilly"</p>
<p>haha she lies.
she thinks i applied to business, really i have working with steven speilberg all this time. undercover.</p>
<p>I applied (1st choice production, 2nd choice Crit Stud) and was accepted to "Cinema-Television" but as far as i know so far, I don't know to which.
When I know what I got, I can post details about my app.</p>
<p>There's some helpful threads on CC already for future applicants too.</p>
<p>Do you have really high stats? You can send them to me via private message, or you don't have to tell me I understand. Just curious, cause I want to know where I stand.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was looking at all the other people who are up for scholarships and stuff, and there aren't many CNTV kids, and their stats are really high. Mine...? Not so much compared to theirs.</p>
<p>I got Production :)
There are so few ppl on CC in CNTV that I had no idea until acceptance whether I'd get it or not, there just isn't enough info to judge</p>
<p>So makkuroi, what do you think got you in? Grades? Test scores? Resume/portfolio list? Essays? Seriously, what do you think was the strongest thing about your application?</p>
<p>Well I mean there are only 50 of us, right...so it's close to impossible to have all of us from all over the world/country/whatever end up on one site.</p>
<p>i think my grades had a lot to do with it, but I had a really good portfolio list from a summer course on movies with UC Berkeley ATDP, and my teacher for that class probably gave me a really good rec since i was top in the class. My cntv personal statement was really good, but my most emotionally intense moment one i didn't like very much.</p>
<p>what did you write about for your emotional essay?</p>
<p>losing friends</p>
<p>through death or just in general?</p>
<p>i wrote about getting a scholarship to my private high school, which was at graduation. i wanted to make it happy since my character profile was tragic</p>
<p>It was about a time in my life when some of my friends moved on and some did not.</p>
<p>For my emotional piece I wrote about how due to my parents divorce I had to go back and forth between houses from the age of 6 til 14 (basically how I became two different people, i.e. with my dad, and then with my mom, and how I couldn't really figure out who I truely was) and then how hard it was when I couldn't go to my dad's house as much anymore (long story...other family issues) my ap lit teacher said it was sad but really powerful. hopefully a lot of kids don't write aobut their parent's divorce?</p>
<p>With so many people's parents divorced now, I wouldn't be surprised if the Office of Admissions receives more essays about divorce than they want. However, your's sounds like it was well-written, so hopefully they will like it!</p>
<p>Yours sounds good to me though I am sorry for the saddness and confusion it must have caused you. I think what they are looking for is not what the subject is about so much, but the way in which you tell the story. From what i can gather from past threads they are looking for good storytellers!</p>
<p>Storytellers are a DEFINITE.
I wrote about an internal struggle I had with myself while I was in Italy...it was about how my aunt died and my mom said that partially the reason I was going to Europe was because she died, and it made me really upset. But then I realized, it's what my aunt would've wanted either way.</p>
