UNCSA Filmmaking Class of 2024

Yeah my insta is Afritts_ feel free to add me

Also I donā€™t believe thereā€™s a group. There isnā€™t a Facebook group through UNCSA because they make class ones but maybe after everyone commits

I canā€™t find it but my ig is madsssm

What is the difference of being deferred and wait listed ? And if we are at the top then why not just be accepted? And do transfer students ( college) have a chance or only us seniors?

Deferred means they will completely re-evaluate your application during the regular decision, itā€™s basically a second chance. The waitlist means you fit all the qualifications for admission but they just didnā€™t have space for you at the moment. If space opens waitlist people will be let in.

@brixxpixxa You canā€™t reapply after being rejected in the same year. If youā€™re really set on UNCSA, go to a different state school and try to transfer in. But you canā€™t reapply in the same year to any school after getting rejected.

Does anyone know how exactly the video essay works? Do we have to structure a certain way? Thanks!

@destroyed This is the first year theyā€™re doing it, so thereā€™s no real examples to follow. All of my friends and I just acted like it was an interview and someone had asked us the question. I donā€™t think they want some fancy structured thing, itā€™s meant to be a ā€œfirst-meetingā€ type of thing.

Fellow UNCSA Filmmaking applicant here. Iā€™m super nervous, I would love to get into this school. Does anyone know when we might hear back for regular decision??

@pinacoletta In past years itā€™s been released as rolling, so thereā€™s no telling how itā€™ll change based on the new admissions process without interviews. Iā€™m guessing by late March. UNCSA also doesnā€™t have ED, EA, or RD, just priority deadlines. UNCSA is a weird one, this year more than most.

Todayā€™s the deadline for normal admission! Good luck to everyone! If youā€™re on the waitlist like I am, I would be on the lookout over the next several weeks.

I was deferred so Iā€™m very nervous because the reevaluation of my application will be soon, Iā€™ve added some new material to my portfolio so I hope it pushes me over the edge. I really want to go to UNCSA I love the campus.

Just to make sure, was January 6 the last day to turn in everything? Or was that the day you had to already have had everything turned in?

January 6th at 11:59 PM everything was due, well actually I think you are still able to upload to your portfolio even after the January 6th date but I may be mistaken.

@destroyed @idgoff From my understanding, everything was due yesterday, including the portfolio.

@izrk02 @idgoff Thank you!

Would anyone happen to be/know of current UNCSA Filmmaking students who applied regular decision? Maybe they could share around what time they were accepted previously to give a range for current applicants.

@Asenys This is the first year they have RD. In past years, its been rolling with applicants getting decisions within around 8 weeks of applying. Decisions should come out by April 1st, if not before it.

The website states that decisions will be released on February 21.

@Asenys I replied to your question but forgot to tag you so that you could see it.
