Official USC 2015 Transfer Thread

@theTruJello Hi Congratulations :slight_smile:

I was also admitted today to Film Production, and I was wondering what is your stance on a B.A. degree being offered versus a B.FA. degree?

@orangeapple3 Thank you very much! Congratulations to you too! Maybe we’ll see each other around haha.

And the way I see it, I’m not going to film school for the degree, I’m going for the experience. I’ve heard time and time again that a degree from film school won’t get you work, but the work that you make will get you work haha… so quite honestly I could be getting an associates degree but if I know I am going to an amazing film school where I will learn a lot, well that’s just fine by me. But that’s just my personal opinion.

Reading through last year’s thread it looks like those that submitted their Spring grades in May got a decision within 2 weeks. I kind of want my application decision but not really now im just scared @-)

@smileyface31 im in the same boat as you. Sent in my grades last tuesday and it’s still showing the submit grades link. I’ll have to call them tomorrow…

Alright so it’s come down to the last 10 days… our decisions must be final and in the mail now, good luck to those who haven’t received them yet :blush:

@poisonx Ok, good to hear I’m not the only one haha. And yeah, I’m gonna email them today.

Since a lot of dornsife applicants havent heard back yet (myself included) i guess i want to say that’s a good sign(?)

@Msmclagirl I got an SGR, and I’m a Dornsife applicant, but yeah I don’t think many other people heard back yet.

And looking at last years decision thread, people heard back this week mostly

@orangeapple3 Did your oasis report get filled out prior to it?

has anyone been notified through their youSC portal? Or are we supposed to be expecting something by mail?

@CollegeARTist I think it is by mail. Majority of the acceptances are going out by mail this year

FYI SGR applicants:
So I just called the office and the lady told me: Most SGR students will get decision by the end of June.

I called the office and she looked at my application and she told me that I should hear between now and June 1st and I am SGR applicant

@jasmine2468
That’s what she told me first, but I ask again if it’s for SGR applicant, she corrected to the end of June

@jasmine2468 No I still don’t have access to it

Called admissions today and was told that the submit transcript option will show even if I already submitted my unofficial transcript because the transcript is unofficial. So it will be on there until the official transcript is submitted. I was also told that decisions will be made closer to the end of June but I don’t believe that because I submitted my transcript on the second week of May. I did a little bit of research in last year’s thread and found that people who submitted their spring grades early posted their decisions 2 weeks later. No one who send their grades in early May heard back after mid June. I think the ā€œby the end of Juneā€ answer is their canned answer to not have them commit to anything should there be any delays.

@jasmine2468 What do you mean by internal and external?

Hey guys,

How are admission decisions usually sent out? Via e-mail, youSC, or mail?

Thanks and good luck everyone!

I got a SGR 5/13 and I submitted my unofficial transcript online later that week. I had to call admissions few days after submitting it because it was still showing that I didn’t submit it and it was only because they didn’t verify it yet but they did receive it. so make sure to call and have them verify it when you’re on the phone with them so they can finalize your decision quicker! :slight_smile:
