Frequently asked questions

No prescreens are required for WCC.

Please try to virtually attend the early action audition in December. If this isn't possible, the student can attend a different audition date (all other Early Action benefits stand besides for receiving their decision by Dec 20th).

OR the student can schedule a one-off interview via Zoom with the faculty before Early Action decisions should be sent (before Dec 20th).

In both cases please reach out to Christina Ficarra to inform us of your decision.

The student will need to schedule another one-off audition with the faculty. Please reach out to Christina Ficarra to have this scheduled.

Please visit our Auditions and Interviews page for the most up-to-date audition information.

Audition Schedules will be posted to the student's Be A Bronc Applicant Dashboard two weeks before their audition. Audition schedules will have all information students will need such as when to arrive, an overview of the day, and approximate group audition times. Group numbers will be sent to you the Tuesday before your audition via text message and email notification.

Decisions will be released within two weeks after your audition.

Please refer to the above list for the requirements by major.

There is a non-refundable audition/interview fee of $50 to register for your audition/interview. The fee is collected at the time of registration and must be paid in order for the registration form to be submitted.
