Just Curious about Chances? (Avg GPA, Decent Test Scores)

indigo, your background and stats are great and within USC’s range for Cinema School majors. That’s all good.

But no one can give chances on admission to the SCA since the portfolio is a very big component to the decision. Not only can’t a bunch of folks on CC tell if your essays, creative samples, etc are competitive, we certainly have no idea who else is applying this year and how the pool compares. USC tries to balance their incoming film class, so there are too many variables. KWIM?

I’m sure you know the scary 4-6% admissions numbers and with so few seats (50 production majors/ 75 crit studies) many amazing students will not get admitted in any given year.

Feel good that you did your best, gave your supplement a lot of effort, and wait for fate to reveal itself.

Good luck!
