BFA Acting Admission Class of 2030 Forum

Ah. My notes say first week of March. Hopefully, any day!

We got a yes from CalArts as well! Do you happen to know if they have released financial aid yet? I didn’t find it anywhere in the portal.

Dd got an offer for Directing from UMich mid February.

I think it’s not in yet, not until April.

Hi there! Just wondering if anyone heard from Ithaca yesterday? I heard from a friend they got a response in their portal, but my child hadn’t. Curious if anyone else saw anything?

Some got portal updates yesterday, and at least a few more today, yes. Both MT and Acting.

Nothing here yet. Do we think there’s a method to the order they send them… Should we be worried?

i haven’t gotten anything from ithaca either

has anyone heard anything from Carnegie Mellon?

I’ve only heard of people getting yesses so far. My son didn’t get an email, but checked his portal and there was a decision there. Historically, it looks like the yesses come over 2-3 days and the nos come about a week later. Not sure how they handle waitlists.

happy to answer any questions about UNCSA! Congrats! What amazing choices!

Thats great. What are the top 3?

Did you or a family member attend? We are scheduled for Accepted Students Weekend, and should learn a lot there, but if you’d like to list pros and cons that would be great. How is Winston-Salem? I heard it is “upcoming”

Yes, my son gradauted this past spring from the bfa acting program. Please pm me and I will be happy to answer any questions.Loved Winston Salem and he had an exceptional experience there,
