<p>Even though your GPA is really high, you still have to be a fit with your major, which is really important since you’ll be a junior. I have no doubts that you’ve started, but looking at Transfer threads, even people with 3.8 juniors applying to Marshall were rejected. Since you’re going to Annenberg, it might be a little hard to go there as well.</p>
<p>The decision won’t come out to June-ish, so yeah, it is nerve racking.</p>
<p>If you’re a spring admit, you may not get a letter until late July for admission starting early January (that’s what happened with my D). If you don’t hear by June, it may be because they’re considering you for a spring admit (tho you didn’t apply for spring admission).</p>
<p>I haven’t had a chance to send a recommendation letter yet (the teachers I wanted to write them went to Cuba before I could ask them), but my status changed yesterday. It says that they’re reviewing my application. Should I still try to turn it in?</p>
<p>Timoshi,
I have lived in many states. However, my alma mater is SC and I am a proud alumna who now resides in suburban Atlanta.<br>
Alabama is not the place, in my opinion, to enter the the business/entertainment field in comparison to Los Angeles. LA is a huge diverse city with all the benefits and also the problems of a huge metropolitan area.<br>
In my travels I have had benefits from the Trojan family. The SC Atlanta Alumni club has more than 300 members. That is only a fraction of the alumni who live here. They gather for networking events as well as socials.
I had lunch yesterday with an executive at CNN who oversees 16 producers. Yes, she is an SC graduate. She indicated the SC students stand out from the crowd during interviews. In my opinion SC has many of the most creative and talented students in the country.
Let SC know the recommendation letter is coming.<br>
Best of luck with your application, but remember admissions is a selective process.

<p>I definitely support the posting by GeorgiaGirl. My daughter got her job, in the entertainment industry, on the day the stock market crashed. And she only looked for two weeks and, interviewed with 3 companies and received 2 offers. The companies were ALL impressed by the SC Cinematic Arts diploma. </p>
<p>The Wesleyan Mafia is strong and talented. The NYU group is here as well. But, the Trojan family…you can’t put a price on it. Well, you can, it’s called tuition. But I can truly say that when she went in for her interviews (and she is the only female in her program), she was taken seriously. And when the head of her company asked his male assistant a question which he couldn’t answer and my daughter did…The head of the company looked at his assistant (who went to a HYPPB type of school) and said, “See, THAT’S what an SC education does for you!”</p>
<p>The movie industry seems to fair better than other industry even in this economic climate.</p>

<p>Yes, and no…safe projects with major backing are still greenlit by major studios. The problem becomes when a new company is funding or seeking funding for a new project. And, the double whammy (or triple) comes when the project is daring/comes from new talent/or is funded by a company that needs to finance other commitments.</p>
<p>Congrats to ellebud’s D! As the parent of a SCA kid, I love your story. :)</p>
<p>USC is an excellent entertainment school. George Lucas came from my HS and went there, he supports the entertainment departments a lot (he gave a $170 million donation the other year). I think you’ll have a leg up, it’s a prestigious school in that area and it’s LA.</p>
<p>i hope a science degree at USC does that same for me :)</p>
