Congrats on the internship Lavender.
I'm pretty much convinced that none of the schools are gonna take me at this point.
Anyone hear anything from Iowa yet??
I thought that, but then again.. I've already been rejected by so many schools already. Maybe it just feels that way?
Rejected:
Michener
Yale
Brown
Still haven't heard from:
Columbia (assuming its a no because others have interviews)
UCSD (assuming its a no because others have interviews)
Iowa
Julliard
New School
If I don't get in anywhere, I'm considering teaching abroad in Korea to quote LavenderCloud/Cheryl Strayed 'write like a motherfucker'.
Haven't heard from anyone except ETS who gave me a bullshit auto reply about how I could have just cancelled my GRE scores. For those of you just joining, during my GRE test the fire alarm was being 'tested' at least five times.
Just got an email from GRE. They've forwarded my case on to the appropriate department. Whatever that means. Looking forward to the bullshit response.
I'm terrified of an interview because I have no idea what I will say.
What do you think they will ask?
Starsandsound I agree. If age is factored above writing sample, I wouldn't want to go there either.
I'm 26 and have been working in TV as an assistant. Most of my work is TV/Film. I'm pretty new to playwriting, but am diving in full steam ahead.
hahahaha
side note: I have a friend who applied to law schools a few years ago. He went out partying to celebrate graduating from college and woke up the next morning at 6am to a phone call from Yale. When they told him he was accepted, he was still half drunk and asked if it was a joke. It was not.
Thanks Rogue.
I agree about registering. WGA does register plays and you can always do a 'poor man's copywrite' which is print your material, seal it in an envelope and mail it to yourself.
The update on ETS is that they did exactly nothing. No response.
Rejected from Michener.
Hoping and waiting that another amazing program is in the cards for me.
I haven't called ETS yet because I'm dreading retaking the test and feel like I just finished the last round of apps. But, I should and I will call them. I just didn't want them to erase my score before the deadlines.
Congrats mtabaque! Good luck!
