SCA IM Chances?

Colleges & Universities University of Southern California

<p>So this is my first time using CC and I’m wondering what my chances may be. I applied to the SCA Interactive Media MFA and while my GPA may not be up to the standards of USC I’m hoping all the extra curricular and creative/supplemental aspects of my application may help a good amount.</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.2
ACT: 30</p>

<p>Extra:
-I interned at Sports Illustrated over the summer with the video, web design, and edit team. A number of projects I worked on were used by SI publicly and internally.
-I helped start a sports/graphics website and forum that at its peak had 200,000 pageviews a month and a highly active forum.
-I have created and/or managed websites, twitter backgrounds, and facebook profile pictures for many professional athletes (Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles being one of the most recent)</p>

<p>LOR:
I have a solid recommendation from my counselor and two outstanding recommendations from my bosses at SI</p>

<p>Are you applying for an MFA (masters)? If so, they will probably take into consideration your undergrad college and your major. Plus any awards won and creative work you did there. I can’t imagine they would care about your ACT–anyone else know about that?</p>

<p>It is really impossible to guess chances for the SCA–since a lot of weight is given to the supplement and how they view your creative focus. They will evaluate that material in context with other submissions for this year, so all you can do is put out the best application possible and… wait. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
