Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT CAN I ASK?
Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There are thousands of alumni who can help answer questions about artistic preparation, campus culture, and student life – almost anything you can think of.
WHAT'S A GOOD QUESTION?
Think of your question as an advertisement. Share who you are, what art school you’ve been admitted to (Drama, Filmmaking, etc.), your incoming class level (undergraduate, graduate, or UNCSA high school), and what questions you have. Keep it short and sweet.
WHO WILL SEE MY QUESTION?
We send your request to the best alumni in your area of interest.
CAN I REQUEST SOMEONE SPECIFIC?
No. We make our matches based on availability, proximity, experience and skills.
CAN I ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION?
Yes, of course! Once we make a match you’ll have direct, one-to-one communication and can ask additional questions.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET AN ANSWER?
Our goal is to get you answers within 3 business days. But it depends on what you’re asking. It can go as quickly as an hour to as long as 10 days or more.
WILL MY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BE CONFIDENTIAL?
Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts and a handful of administrators.
IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW OFTEN I CAN ASK?
No. You can ask as many questions as you would like. In fact, we encourage it as this is an excellent way to get real insight about the UNCSA artist ecosystem.
