UNCSA 2023 Film Applicants

@cooltimes Congrats! Looks like we’re the same year. 2023

I still haven’t gotten an email :confused: maybe I got waitlisted

They’re doing it alphabetically by last name! So if your last name starts with a late letter, don’t worry! My friend whose last name starts with L got in about an hour ago.

Yeah hopefully. My last name starts with V so I can only hope that’s the reason.

Our last name is A - and my daughter has not gotten an email. Does that mean waitlisted?

My D received her deferral for WAM today.

Checking back in after the holidays to see if there are any updates on admissions or deferrals.

My daughter was accepted for film right before the break.

@sassgirl They sent out some defferals today I heard from some people I know going through the process.

@Nickih Fantastic! I was accepted as well! I hope your daughter and I can get connected somehow!

I live in NC and am applying as a transfer student and animation major. They’ve been really slow about responding to emails and it took them a month to process my fee waiver so I’ve just now gotten an interview date in Feb! I really hope I haven’t missed my chance, I got into the summer program a few years back but couldn’t attend. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck! I hope you get in!

My son interviewed for film today. About how long is it taking to hear back, just to know what we’re looking at. Also, once we get the email, if he gets a “yes”, is that definite? He’s already been accepted to SCAD and we’ll need to start making decisions financially.

@cscully6 Hey there! So for first round it took 34 days about, so just over a month. But I think they were running behind because of the snow so it may be closer to a month. While I was at the interviews, some current students at UNCSA we’re talking about people they knew at the film program at SCAD currently (I was accepted as well) and that it wasn’t a very strong program at all, especially for the price you would be paying if you attended.

Unfortunately it’s cheaper than SCAD. I wasn’t overwhelmed with the tour we took, especially after seeing the film program at SCAD…which is amazing. My son has a friend there, in film, who loves it. Ultimately it’ll mean looking at cost/benefit. Thank you though for the information! Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who thought that.

Anybody interview today & get an idea of where they are with the numbers (how many they’ve accepted/how many more they’re taking)?

My daughter was accepted to the School of Filmmaking in December. Notified by email. Has anyone received an acceptance package/letter via mail yet?

@msmomo @OrangeFish Hey there, I was accepted as well. Called yesterday and they gave me a new update. They said to keep checking your status page for instructions on how to place your deposit. As for letter/package. They said at the end of the month :frowning:

Thanks for the update @FilmLove !
