BFA Acting Class of 2023: preparation, prescreens, auditions, questions and support

Has anyone heard from UNCSA? They said early November thought would hear something by now.

Thank you @AUDITIONMGR !

We are still waiting for UNCSA too! And S’s application status says still missing SAT scores which were sent over a month ago from College Board! They are the last ones we are waiting on to schedule.
We also scheduled Rutgers on 2/4. They said plan an hour, and it is at the Hyatt instead of Palmer. S will have UMinn before Rutgers audition (also at the Hyatt). We are scheduling 3 acting auditions a day at Unifieds. Hope it all works out!

@SoCalPops - allow just an hour for Rutgers, they were pretty efficient. In case you weren’t aware, Rutgers does a callback weekend - we only realized after D’s audition that she had a conflict with those dates.

Anyone hear from UNCSA after auditions for D&P?

Thanks @CaMom13. Looks like that Callback weekend might be in mid-March? Rutgers website gives no date, says TBD… reading one past CC thread and it was been in mid-March…

Last year, the Rutgers callback was the weekend of March 3.

We have Rutgers scheduled on 2/5 for 1 hour. We also have U Minn on 2/5 right before Rutgers. We scheduled an hour for U Minn. Hope that is enough.

Question about UCLA Audition Scheduling - Is there any advantage to getting your application in “early” during the Nov 1-30 application period? Do they send out audition invites any earlier to those how submitted earlier? My D is putting pressure on herself to get her UCLA application done ASAP. But it looks to me that applications submitted this month, get reviewed in December and audition invites all go out in December. At least that’s what I can glean from last year’s CC thead…http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/1941143-chapman-and-ucla-acting-theater-auditions-2017-p1.html

I don’t think there is any advantage, @SoCalPops. Last year, there was a theater supplemental application with a later deadline of December 7th. So I don’t think they’re reviewing anything until after that date. My son submitted that supplemental on 12/4, received a confirmation email on 12/9 that his application was complete, and received the invitation to audition/interview on 12/12. And all of his friends received invitations to audition/interview around that same time.

Thanks @Twoboysandadog ! Do you recall what was in the supplemental? Any additional essays/prompts? Or just resume and headshot?

@SoCalPops I don’t think I can link it here, but you can see the requirements on UCLA’s GetAcceptd page. Go to getacceptd dot com backslash uclatheater

Great, thank you!

Has anyone been able to schedule an acting audition with UNCSA yet?

We are still waiting to schedule with UNCSA as well

Had anyone been able to schedule with BU? They and UNCSA are our last two to schedule.

Yes my D scheduled BU audition a couple of weeks ago. She submitted her app on 10/14, but I don’t know what date the audition nvite email came on. Probably a week or so later if my notes are correct.

Yikes. Thanks for that info. My kid submitted in late September and still nothing. Will go searching!

@NJNYvt BU applied 10/23 scheduled 10/24. Still no word UNCSA

@SoCalPops and @AUDITIONMGR, thanks again for answering my question. Looked back though emails and didn’t see an email to specifically schedule auditions like most schools have sent, so my kid looked at the portal and found the link. With 17 schools, it is so easy to miss one line in a portal! It’s making me paranoid about what else we may have missed!
