No problem! And I am so sorry that this is happening to you. I can't even imagine how stressful it must be. USC is also for some reason difficult to reach throughout the application process. Their website makes me feel like they deliberately don't want applicants to contact them. I understand that they have a lot of applicants, but the made the process quite dehumanizing. I hope you get your answers soon!

I realized that USC sends decisions through a different portal (youSC). You might have already checked there, but, in case you didn't, you may find it there.

Thank you guys! I understand that waiting fatigue tho. I wasn't able to focus on writing my thesis until yesterday lol. Hopefully we can get more good news soon!

I got in UW-Madison comm arts (RPC)! I’m in shock!

Current MFA student here. Just want to first wish everyone good luck and I’m so proud of you. I don’t want to accidentally doxx myself here but I do want to share that when you get your offers, make sure you talk to the current students and graduates (if possible). Make sure funding is dependable (for funded program) and the dynamics between faculty members and students are not hostile. I wish I had talked to previous graduates before enrolling, because we just had a dramatic fall out last semester in my department. I still enjoy academia, but my experience kind of traumatized me a bit (racist comments from a professor, unresponsive and passive aggressive faculty members and funding that almost fell through due to admin mistakes…). Luckily my mentor is the best teacher I have ever had in my life and she protected many students in my department. Just make sure you know what you are getting into before you commit! Best of luck

Congrats!!!

Yeah waiting alone is not a good feeling. I also got rejected by Stanford. Had 2 rounds of interviews with UW-Madison but haven’t heard anything else yet. Good luck everyone!

Saw someone posted about interview for Northwestern MTS and Stanford. Updates are coming
