Me too! Even though I'm still on the Columbia wait-list, I feel like I can safely say that this year's application season is done for me. Rejection always sucks, but at least now I can focus on writing my play for next year.

I got an e-mail from Juilliard last year so i assume that's how rejections will go out this year as well.

I was rejected by Juilliard exactly one year ago today (at 2:41 pm PST) so I can't help but that news (good or bad) is imminent, although I know that school's change their timeline all the time. Please keep us updated if you get any news. I'm refreshing this page and my e-mail helplessly every other minute.

Thanks Zissou for your kind words! I will definitely apply again and see what happens, it was comforting to here that at least one of the current MFAs had interviewed twice before she got in so there's still a chance. Lavendercloud: Thank you also for the encouragement. It's amazing how helpful someone else's perspective can be. Here is the list of schools I applied to if you're interested. As you can see I applied to a lot and got a lot of rejection despite the elusive Yale interview. It's amazing how subjective the whole process is. I didn't apply to Ohio but I'm looking into it now that you've said such wonderful things about your experience with them. I hope you won't be a stranger to this forum after you go off to grad school. I'd love to hear more about what it's like there as a student. Yale: Interview, Rejected Columbia: Interview, Waitlisted NYU: Rejected Michener: Rejected Iowa: Rejected Brown: Rejected UT Austin: No response but I know offers went out so expecting rejection any day Juilliard: No response

Hi everyone, Just found this forum. Wish I had known about it sooner, you all seem so wonderful and supportive. @Zissou I interviewed at Yale this year too and didn't get in. I also thought I had had a really great conversation with Jeannie and sent her and Sarah thank you notes after the interview. And then to get the generic rejection letter was just heartbreaking. I was wondering if you received anything more personal. I know a rejection is rejection no matter what but I would have loved an "apply again next year" or something to that affect. Wondering if everyone just got the generic letter or if I did something wrong in particular to not get a more personal note
