2026 BFA Prescreen Results

A parent made mention on the UCLA thread that his/her son received an interview for UCLA Theater earlier this week after being asked to resubmit his auditions with their directors notes.

Jan. 15th :slight_smile:

Yes. My son was asked to resubmit his auditions with their ā€œnotesā€ and then he was given an interview for next week. We have no idea what to expect.

I just got a recall for LAMDA in London and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the program and what itā€™s like going to drama school in the UK?

Hello! I am awaiting a reply from them right now I was wondering if you could let me know what date she auditioned so I could have an estimate for when I should expect mine? Thank you and congratulations!

Our daughter auditioned Sat Jan 15th and heard back Jan. 28th with the BFA in Acting artistic acceptance from Marymount Manhattan College.

My D is auditioning in a couple weeks. How quickly did you hear back? Iā€™m sorry I do not know anything about going to school overseas or LAMBDA. Good luck though.

My D also got recall and I am looking for same information and so far we have only heard amazing things.

Can anyone share how they felt about the faculty after their uncsa audition? Our D has her audition tomorrow, but was less than pleased with the admin staff which stinks!! Iā€™m hoping people loved the main auditioning staffā€¦she is in love with the main program itself. So Iā€™m wildly curious on how your kids felt after auditioning.

Wait, the admin staff at UNCSA is AMAZING! I am sure that they caught them on a bad day because Bill is amazing. My S had several snafus with his auditions and they dealt with them efficiently and kindly. They deal with all of the students who audition themselves and are extremely busy. The students audition with Quinn and Scott who are the heads of the program and who the students work with every day.

My daughter auditioned last year (and didnā€™t get in) and LOVED her audition with them. She thought they were the kindest auditors of the entire year. And, they even replied when she wrote an email thanking them for the audition. They were really wonderful - Iā€™m guessing sheā€™s going to have a great experience.

That makes me feel so much better! Thatā€™s what I told her. Iā€™m sure it was just a bad moment, because until then, admin staff had been great. She was at the point of tears, and I will say, it was pretty bad. Something had to have been going on behind closed doors we were unaware of. Thank you for that comfort!

Thank you so much for this comfort!!

My S is a first year there and has truly found his home. He absolutely loves it there. They are very very busy there and have had two weekends of auditions thrown into disarray because of the weather (it is amazing what 1 inch of snow and ice does in North Carolina!) and now are having some issues with the new dorms. He absolutely loves it there and for all of the bumps with silly things would not want to be anywhere else. Please PM me with any of her questions!

Goodness thank you so much for this!! It helps knowing of so much going on, and very likely caught them at a bad time. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly for her! She LOVES the program there and found herself quite discouraged at its possibility. I canā€™t wait to share with her what others experiences have been. Iā€™m glad your son is enjoying himself there! Iā€™m sure she will be more at peace now.

Does anyone know when about the UMich decisions are coming?

mid-March - theyā€™ll usually announce the date in advance.

Thatā€™s a school that makes phone calls. Every year after one kid gets a call believe me everyone finds out :wink:

Has anyone heard from Penn State? We havenā€™t, but my friendā€™s S got a ā€œdeferredā€ letter for BFA MT. Didnā€™t realize they sent out acceptances this early. And what would deferred mean?

@GracieBay i donā€™t think they send out acceptances this early. I have heard they only send ā€œno thank youā€ or ā€œyouā€™re still in consideration but we are waiting to see everyone before making a final decisionā€. The latter sounds like what your friend got? How long ago did you audition? The nos appear to go out pretty quickly, so I would assume no news is good news?
