Hi there,
I have been an viewer of CC for quite some time and finally decided to make an account. As the title of this thread says, I am a current USC student (Sophomore) who was admitted under LAS and is currently undeclared. From the beginning, my intentions have been to attend the USC School of Cinematic Arts for Film Production. I submitted my app back in January and was told that I won’t be hearing from SCA until the end of May/beginning of June, due to the fact that I am “transferring” departments. My question is the following: What are my chances of getting into the program? I know that SCA is extremely competitive, but I have a pretty solid portfolio; not to mention I attended the USC Film Summer Program this past summer and was selected as one of the top films in my Directing Intensive class. I transferred into USC and currently have a 3.7, in case anyone was curious. So, what’s the verdict? Do you guys and gals think I have a shot at this? I could post my visual sample on here as well, in case anyone wants to see my abilities (or lack there of ).
