Note

"Thank you for your interest and hard work in applying to the graduate program within the Division of Cinema and Media Studies at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. We received over 260 applications this year, a remarkable and exciting increase from last year. We are writing to inform you that, unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a position in our incoming 2021 graduate cohort. The admissions process attracted so many compelling applications, including yours, making the final decisions to fill the limited spots very difficult. In the end, the admissions committee based their decision on program fit, not perceived weaknesses on the part of any applicants. ​We appreciate your effort to apply, especially during the current global circumstances. We wish you the best in your future academic endeavors and appreciate your understanding. Due to the number of applications, we are unable to provide individual feedback. "
