Back applying to schools again - all in New York - and I have a question about the resume style. All of the playwright resume samples I've come across contain some variation on these categories:
Education
Selected Plays - Full Length
Selected Plays - One Acts
Screenwriting Credits
Teaching
Publications
This makes sense for more established playwrights, but I'm wondering if resumes should follow this kind of a format for the purpose of MFA applications. I have only had two plays produced, I don't have teaching experience, and any theater-related writing I've done has been minor criticism stuff for local publications. I feel like it would make sense for me to create Theater Administration or Casting sections, as I have some experience in those fields. But I don't know what is expected and what will look superfluous on a resume for an application. If anyone has any insight on this, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

Thanks PrincesIsInAnotherCastle, it's definitely better than nothing. And now I'll go ahead and answer these in my head in my most professional-sounding inner voice.

PrincesIsInAnotherCastle:
For me, this brings up a bunch of results:

Although there's only one result for 2015 so far, not too much... maybe that's what you were getting at? I keep checking it day after day even though there's no sign that any of the schools I applied to are responding to applications until later this month (at the earliest).

Hey everyone...
First time applyer here (Brown (for practice I guess?), Brooklyn and Northwestern).
I've seen a lot in the results section and in the forums about playwrights having to interview, and I'm just curious about the process. Those of you who have applied before and had to interview, what is it like? Any recurring questions, general interview lengths, etc.?
Also, I'm in the minority it seems. I liked the dialogue in The Flick so much I bought the script after seeing it at Playwrights Horizons.

Hey everyone. I posted a bit last year, didn't get in anywhere. This year I've applied to all New York schools and I haven't heard from Columbia, The New School or Brooklyn.
I also applied to Fordham and Queens College. I haven't heard from them either. But I was wondering if anyone else has heard from them or knows anything about their programs as I haven't seen anything about them on here.
