UNCSA Filmmaking Class of 2022

Has anyone applied for UNCSA for film? I had to do my Skype interview on November 18 because I live in Germany. I’d love to hear from anyone else who went on that day or is just excited to go there!

Does anyone know when they notify us about their decision?

My son auditioned on the 18th also. He got email Thursday telling him that he was still under consideration. I don’t know if they do early decisions or if there is just a “reject” or “defer” decision following early interviews. Does anyone know?

Was your son waitlisted? I think they accept a minimum of applicants in the first round… on another thread someone said after the first interviews they accept 20, defer 30 and reject 50

He was deferred. Have you heard anything?
Do you remember where that other thread was?
Thanks!

No I haven’t heard anything from UNCSA- do you know if anyone else heard back? Idk how their decisions work, if they notify waitlisted applicants first or what so I’m really nervous…

And the thread I found that on was here:

I hope that helps! :slight_smile:

That makes sense but I’ve searched online and not found anything else that says they accept some after the first interviews. I haven’t seen anyone mention having heard back so I really don’t know how their decisions work.

Let me know when you hear something! Hope it will be good news and soon:)

I interviewed on the November 18th date in the morning slot, I haven’t heard anything yet. I also had a decent number of friends who I met at the summer program who interviewed that day as well, I don’t think they’ve gotten replies yet either. I’ve seen on some other forums that people have gotten deferral emails, though. Crossing my fingers!!! UNCSA is my top school.

What forums did you see the deferals on? Do you think they send waitlists and deferral decisions first or just randomly?

UNCSA is my top choice school too! I’m so nervous about their decision!

My son got his deferral email last Thursday…he also interviewed the morning of the 18th. Fingers crossed for both of you, and us too. We didn’t think they did any early admissions so were surprised to get deferred - expected either to be accepted or rejected.

@uncsahopefulmom My D interviewed in the afternoon session on Nov. 18th. She just got her acceptance email this evening.

Congratulations to your D!!

Just realized I didn’t update on this forum - I received my acceptance email yesterday :slight_smile: Committed via deposit this morning.

I was also accepted to UNCSA yesterday!

Congratulations!!!

Thanks!
Congrats every one!

Hi all. My S applied for the screenwriting program at UNCSA. I’ve heard it’s absolutely amazing. His interview was 1/20 via Skype and the admissions counselor was very encouraging. How long does it usually take to hear something after the interview? Also we’re you notified via email, snail mail or portal update? Any info you can tell me would be super helpful. Congrats to all who were accepted and good luck to those still waiting.

Our son is a freshmen in the School of Film at UNCSA. He really loves it. His audition was the first round - November -
but he was not admitted officially until March. The wait felt endless, but it does not hurt for the student to send an email about how interested he is in their program. Good luck. It’s a great college!

@misstrendy I interviewed in November and I heard back on the 12th of December, so it was about a month after my interview. I was sent an email about my admission into the film program, and later on the Film Admissions director sent me an official letter in an email. Good luck to your son!

My son heard back this afternoon. He was admitted. So so so excited!!! Thanks for all the feedback and info.

@misstrendy Congratulations! Has he joined the Accepted Students group on Facebook yet?
