Good luck to you @bluebane! And congrats to all who got in to programs. Good luck to those who didn't. I'm still waiting for Northwestern to respond. They said they won't be sending it until late this week or next. Fingers crossed. Gods speed to those embarking on their journeys.

Congrats @mr.taco! That's awesome!

@directMontana Radio silence from ISU. I e-mailed them last week asking if decisions were still ongoing...nothing @bluebane I think sending Boston an E-mail just to update them would be cool. I fly out to Northwestern on Thursday. Unless I hear back from ISU, which I'm feeling skeptical about, it looks like it'll be Northwestern or bust. Good luck fellow Directors!

Congratulations @bluebane! That is awesome!

@bluebane My Northwestern interview is on March 10th, I'm acting in a show around that time, but I'm fortunate in that I got an understudy. I had to push a little to make it happen, but it all worked out. I'm hoping Northwestern makes a decision soon after so I can weigh my options. I still haven't heard anything from Indiana so I imagine that's out. I sent him an E-mail just touching base and never got a response. That makes me a little sad because when I started looking at grad schools like two years ago Indiana's program was the one that inspired me to really pursue my MFA. Oh well. I can't say I'm terribly surprised. I liked talking to Dale, but we did have a weird conversation where we didn't quite gel and butted heads a good bit. I E-mailed ISU touching base and they said I'm still in consideration and they are hoping to make a decision around the end of Feb. Keep fighting the good fight friends.

Break a leg DePaul interviewers!

@bluebane So if I've not heard from Indiana about the Skype interview, should I assume that is a no-go?

@QuirkyDirector I was just thinking the same thing. I thought number wise at least one of us would have heard from them. Part of me is hoping that they are just running behind, but with the interviews being just a week away I realize that is unlikely. It might be time for me to be sad about Yale for a day or two and then move on. Welp. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

@bluebane Did you get any details on Northwestern's financial plan when you visited? Everything that I have read is pretty nebulous. I know there is a full tuition waiver and a "partial stipend."

Yale might be out, but they did say they would be reaching out until the 12th and they called me at the 11th hour for my phone interview. Also there is like 6 of us, so surely at least one of us will get a call right? Also I just heard back from Northwestern today, they invited me to interview at their campus, but I have a show at the same time. Hope I can get it worked out.

Thanks for the update @bluebane! Yeah, I just heard back from Illinois State (I e-mailed asking what the next step was) but I was wondering about Indiana. And this waiting on Yale is KILLING ME. It's good to know that everyone else is waiting. If I was sitting, wondering by myself, I would be going crazy.

Welcome @directMontana! Still no word from Yale on my end. Now URTA's are done...time to wait wait wait.

So I'm impatient. I e-mailed Yale and asked when they were making decisions about the second interview. They said they would be contacting people the week of Feb 8-12. So...we'll have to wait a little longer. Best of luck!

@aprilcleveland In an e-mail in Jan. Northwestern told me that it would be a couple of months before a decisions was made.

I interviewed with Liz and we got on well. I thought. Though she did make it clear there was a lot of tough competition this year. She was super welcoming and open. @mwatt I'm sorry to hear that your Brown interview didn't go over well. She didn't tell me when notifications would be sent out. But she did say the callback interviews on the Yale campus would be Feb 20 and 21st...so I can't imagine it would be to long. I assume they want to give people time to prepare for those.
