Has anyone received a call from UNCSA for drama? Are we sure that they’re starting calls now? I heard that they start calling after this weekend, but I could be wrong. Have you heard from anybody that has got a call? My D has not received a rejection letter yet so we’re unsure.
@cglovestheatre my S has a friend that received a call from UNCSA this week. However, they are holding auditions this weekend, so it seems like they may not have the entire class put together just yet. Best of luck!
@cglovestheatre My D and her BFF have not gotten a letter or a call. And they are friends with another girl from our area who hasn’t as well. So my guess is that the “no” letters (and we know of one first hand) that we have heard about were kind of a first cull: And the calls were the first kind of foundation of their ideal troupe. So we are assuming that there’s this middle group-no idea how large-that are on the bubble until they complete auditions this weekend. Also, my D has 2 friends who made it off the alternate list last year…so alternate is a good thing! Break Legs!
My daughter is a freshman at UNCSA and she knows of three high school senior kids that got calls early last week. I would guess that they called 12-15 kids and will make the rest of the calls after this weekend. Please understand that some kids that don’t get calls get letters of acceptance or get put on the waiting list. Good luck to everyone.
Why would some kids get calls and others letters? Are those who get calls more sought after? Seems weird. But this process is screwed up on so many levels. LOL
I agree that seems odd @bisouu. (and my D also attends UNCSA - lol). Our experience and report from the kids we know is that all get phone calls if accepted. They have not made any “official” calls yet. Any calls received this past week were calls expressing interest and giving info about accepted drama students weekend - not extending a formal offer of admission. Any of those kids called this week will still get another call with an official offer, should they be admitted (which is likely). I recall thinking “that is a lot of calling” when it happened in our house.
The posts about the unofficial calls of interest have caused a lot of confusion and stress. The class has not been formed yet so if you haven’t heard a ‘no’ you are still in the pool being considered. @2lights noted that maybe only 10-15 kids got an interest call…that leaves at least half or more of the spots open. Best of luck to all.
Hello. I am happy to share that my D was accepted to UNCSA last night (2/19) via phone call from Quin. It is my understanding that they were trying to call the whole class last night. I believe that Wait list/Alternate calls go out next. My D did receive a call last week to say that she was in high consideration and they would be in touch again next/this week after auditions were done.
@frontrowmama - is your S friend on CC?
@FourStars I don’t think they are on CC. So excited for your daughter! It seems like such an incredible program!! Best of luck!!
