UNCSA Filmmaking Class of 2024

Admissions decisions are being released this friday! Anyone else excited?!

UNCSA used to be my top choice but I really donā€™t see myself going there anymore, so Iā€™m sort of excited, I guess.

Iā€™m so excited! But also really nervous. Iā€™m guessing they are going to send out decisions around 4:30 pm. (because thatā€™s when early decision heard) Fingers crossed! Good luck everyone!

I was thinking the exact same time frame. Hoping the snow doesnā€™t delay it, it shouldnā€™t. The cut off was in January.

I just checked my portal and got my acceptance letter!!

Oh sweet, congrats! Dying to hear that Iā€™ve gotten off the waitlist

@filmlover12345 Did your entire page for your student portal change to the acceptance letter or did you have to look for it?

Typically an email comes that says to check for a change in your student portal. The when you click on the notice on your portal it has one of four letters: accepted, wait-list, deferred, or decline.
Congratulations @filmlover12345

I submitted my application September 1st and was put on the waitlist on December 13th. Have not heard back yet people who applied months after me got in, so Iā€™m very confused.

@LaurenH there was a link in my portal that said ā€œview updateā€ under status update.

There have been students who paid deposits at other schools and received a spot on the wait list at the beginning of August. As people decline spots, they pull off the wait-list.
Hereā€™s the most recent common data set for acceptance stats:
https://www.uncsa.edu/about/office-of-the-provost/institutional-research/docs/18-19-common-data-set.pdf

According to the common data set, previously 166 students were on the wait list, 163 agreed to stay on the wait list, and 1 was accepted from it.

Itā€™s a tough programā€¦on the wait list here too. I just wish they said what number you were on it.

I still havenā€™t received anything and I applied for regular:/

From what I understand, wait listed people canā€™t hear back until at least May 1st because thatā€™s the registration deadline for those who have been admitted. Everyone I know who has been admitted on waitlist has been after May 1st.

On the bright side, the Common Data Set for 2017-2018 says 33 were taken off the waitlist out of about 133.

Have you been accepted? Iā€™m currently on the waitlist, and Iā€™ve applied to other colleges as well, but this is my dream school. I really hope some spots open up. I really hope I donā€™t jeopardize my chances of admission to my second choice schools by waiting until June or July to hear back from UNCSA.

@idgoff ^ That reply was for you, sorry I didnā€™t tag you!

@oggleboggle thanks for the info! Trying not to think about it but itā€™s hard

I wasnā€™t waitlisted, but I still havenā€™t received anything. Idk

Anyone else on the waitlist feeling kind of hopeless?

Felt that, but itā€™ll be okay.
