Haha awesome article, bluebane! Sorry it didn't work out for you this year, but from your writing it seems like you are more than ready to riot next year. Good luck and I hope to be able to see what happens next year, maybe on this forum It's also great that you wrote the article because there are so little resources on the web for MFA directing applicants. So hopefully it will assuage the terror of many applicants around the world.

I see. Yeah, FSU's not directing their grad student thing is weird. I guess something that surprised me quite a bit when I set out to search for programs were how many programs didn't have an expectation of collaboration between grad directors and actors/designers. So next year then? Best of luck to you!

Interesting, bluebane -- may I ask why you decided to decline your finalist visits to those schools? Just out of curiosity!

I was in the elevator with a bunch of my co-workers and friends, when I just randomly decided to check the web portal. I blurted out my acceptance as soon as I saw it, then we all started screaming and jumping up and down, which caused the elevator to stop. We were stuck there in panic for a bit, then the elevator eventually moved and the door eventually opened and we ran off the elevator.

Hello folks! Didn't get into Columbia. However, I just received an acceptance from CalArts! Super excited.

@fluxussuxus, I had an interview with them a couple weeks ago but haven't heard anything back yet!

Yep. I'm in the same boat. So are we supposed to write 0 for everything we "spent" or...?

vitality - Wow, that sounds frustrating. I'm sorry you had to go through that. bluebane - Thanks for the info! Things are happening! The wait is painful.

Sounds like you had a very packed day, bluebane! I had a great chat with CalArts, and I am headed to their campus as well as Columbia's in the next couple weeks. When do these schools usually release their final decisions, do we know?

Sorry for my long absence! I've been in tech. I have my CalArts interview in Chicago this Saturday, and I've also been invited to the Columbia auditions weekend in February. Excited/nervous!

I have a CalArts interview in Chicago but I didn't apply through URTA.

Maybe Yale is reviewing the applications in wave and haven't sent out all the interview requests yet? There's still time, let's not despair!

Just heard from Columbia as well! Excited for the auditions weekend.

The only place I heard back from so far is CalArts. Got an interview!

Congrats on the interview, bluebane! May I ask how you heard back?
