    Brown

    Is anyone headed to Brown? I'm heading there for a PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies.
  2. I'm absolutely floored--I got into Brown! Anyone else?
  3. I'm about 80% sure I'll be attending!
  4. Oh yeah. Good call. As I sit and watch said snowstorm from my office in NYC, I should have thought of that.
  5. Last year Yale notified on the equivalent of today...but nada so far....thoughts?
  6. Hi Shaky---I also did my undergrad at UT (graduated 08) and was told flatout during undergrad that they rarely take their own undergrads, and if they do, they have to be working in a vastly different field than they focused upon in undergrad. When did you graduate from UT?
  7. Hi bsprad--so glad to have a 3rd person here! What are your research interests (I totally understand if you would rather PM that information!) Congrats on UMinn--that's an excellent program! I know how you feel about Brown--that program is IMPOSSIBLE, but at least there are 3 Brown applicants now so we can keep each other informed
  8. any other theatre/performance scholars want to announce themselves? i saw someone posted a stanford rejection today...
  9. I'm in theatre/performance studies, and I'm tempted to contact one of my schools--Berkeley--because for the past several years, they have always notified in late January, and no one has posted anything for this year yet.
  10. Congrats, that's fantastic! Hooray for you! So far, I have an nterview at Stanford, and an implicit rejection from Northwestern (my friend was called to interview...I was not). I also applied to UC Berkeley, Brown, Cornell, and Yale (American Studies). I'm getting nervous about Berkeley--last year they notified in late January, but I haven't heard anything and there's been no action on the board. I'm tempted to email the grad admin--she's be so nice and helpful throughout this process!
  11. Awesome! So glad to hear from someone! Where did you apply? Heard anything back yet? I do some dance studies (mostly in the context of musical theatre studies).
  12. My heart skipped a beat when I saw this too--but at least it wasn't as bad as Yale's mass-email, which was entitled "Yale Graduate School Application Status."
  13. Person: What are you going to graduate school for? Me: Theatre and Performance Studies Person: So you want to be an actor? Me: No. I want to be a professor. Person: Of acting? Me: No...of performance theory/dramatic literature/theatre history. Person: So you can eventually work on Broadway? Me: No...so I can be a professor. Person: Of acting? (Repeat).
  14. Thanks--I'm applying to PhD programs in Theatre/Performance Studies, and, in one case, American Studies.
