<p>Yes, we are still waiting.</p>
<p>When did you audition @msdchick? My D was 1/19 on campus</p>
<p>She auditioned at NY Unifieds. Received rejection letter yesterday. </p>
<p>So sorry, msdchick. UNCSA was the only “no” we cried about. :(</p>
<p>It’s the end of our waiting for UNCSA here too. A no arrived yesterday. Tough one.
But I am glad to finally end the waiting on this one. It’s been three weeks of intensely watching and it was too much stress!!
D is processing the “redirection” now. </p>
<p>How is she handling it, dramamom0804? Hugs to her. That stinks that after all this time they sent her the no.</p>
<p>I don’t like calling these rejections ‘redirections’ personally because to me they imply you can’t be upset about it and I feel pressure that you have to put a positive spin on it. You may indeed put a positive spin on a rejection, and you may indeed go where you belong, but that doesn’t take away the pain of the rejection. And I feel like if I want to be upset about something, I should be allowed to acknowledge the disappointment and pain and fear that rejections bring. Of course, you can’t let it overwhelm you either or put too much into it.</p>
<p>Rejections are the absolute hardest thing to deal with as a working artist. I myself am a sometimes-writer with an MFA and I would say dealing with rejections is hands down the most challenging. It chips away at you bit by bit. You can’t let it get to you on the one hand, but on the other hand, if you deny it is a rejection, you can’t grow from it, and if you repress it, you run the risk of snapping. </p>
<p>She took it quietly and has retreated to her room to snapchat with friends.
Yes I see what you mean about the word redirection. But you can still process your emotions as you redirect. I think I like the concept. I will share it with D in time and see what she thinks.
I just bought her a doughnut with a bunny rabbit face on it at Wegmans to make her feel better.
And I told all the pickles in the pickle section that I hated them.
Sometimes we need to just be silly too. </p>
<p>Sad and smiling at the same time while reading your post, dramamom0804.</p>
<p>I agree. I didn’t mean it in terms of your daughter at all. And if she <em>chooses</em> to redirect, that’s very different. I think the doughnut with the bunny rabbit face is such a lovely idea–brings tears to my eyes! What a great mom you are!</p>
<p>I wonder if UNCSA knows how passionate these kids are about their program. It was also the ‘No’ my D took the hardest. </p>
<p>D made short work of the doughnut and is handling things well. Thanks all.
I wonder will anyone else besides connections S be accepted to UNCSA?</p>
<p>I was wait listed for BFA Drama and received my letter on March 6!</p>
<p>@Anonymom000, thanks. No worries. She was not really into going to college in North Carolina anyways-she is a NY girl in her heart. </p>
<p>BFActingTransfer, im assuming by your name you are transferring from another college, what college and year are you.</p>
<p>@binkyacts, I am a current first year BFA Acting student at another university.</p>
<p>Just to update info for next year - my D received the rejection letter several days ago as I said and her financial aid portal is still active today. So that theory is blown!</p>
<p>There is now a Facebook group for accepted students! It’s called “UNCSA Drama Class of 2018”</p>
<p>And another update to keep this thread accurate for next year’s class. D received a call today (in July) inviting her to join the class of 2018! They had some movement in their class and reviewed files and wow! She’s accepted! What a crazy ride. We are very excited!</p>
<p>So wonderful!! =D> </p>
<p>dramamom0804, HURRAY!!! SO happy for this news! </p>
