  1. Hi all. Here we go with Round 2. Much different list of schools this year, though much like Broseph I am focusing on programs with a strong new works focus: Iowa, UC San Diego, Cal Arts, UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, Arizona State and Northwestern. CalArts is the only school that I previously applied to. Interesting that we're all applying to Iowa so far!
  2. Hey all, lots of action lately it seems. I too got my official CalArts rejection notice today. Congrats on DePaul and Ohio, @mr.taco!
  3. I loved the New School facilities when I visited for the Grad School expo and really enjoyed my conversations with the faculty. But yeah, since then I haven't gotten any response to my application or contact. I get the feeling they are perhaps a little understaffed, administratively. (I'm a "he", @QuirkyDirector, though I appreciate the commitment to gender neutrality!) I also really loved my recent trip to DePaul, and am waiting of the final decision, which will probably be the climax of this year's journey. The facilities are truly amazing and everyone was brilliant.
  4. Not that I'm stressing or anything, but has anybody heard from New School at all? When do they send requests, historically?
  5. @mr.taco Thanks for the offer but I'm actually housesitting for a friend in Chicago that weekend. Lucked into free lodging. Sorry to hear about everybody's Yale troubles.
  6. Just got the official rejection from Washington. Onward!
  7. @QuirkyDirector Sorry to hear about Pace! I'm still waiting on first contact from New School as well.
  8. @unrulymop I'll be flying in the previous day from DC. You?
  9. @aprilcleveland I haven't heard anything from U Washington yet. On that note, anybody heard from CalArts? Now that my current production is up I'm going into full-on prep mode for DePaul. If that's the only interview I get, so be it, and I want to make the most of it. @UnrulyMop, I suppose I will see you there! You auditioning on the 20th?
  10. Glad everybody is having fun with their Yale interviews! Sort of makes me wish I'd applied. I've got a more general question as someone going through the application process for the first time. What's the current trend as far as portfolios, especially for interviews? Are they desired at the interviews at all? Electronic or physical? I'm curious about people's experiences. And Quirky, I'm still waiting on New School too. I have a feeling their process is being delayed by the storm. Haven't heard from CalArts or Washington yet. Such is life. Just booked my flight to Chicago for DePaul. This process gets expensive!
  11. Thanks for the warm welcome, all! Sorry to hear about your UCLA experience @aprilcleveland! And thanks, @bluebane for the DePaul insights. Also, some non-interview related advice for all the folks applying to Yale. See a show at the Yale Cabaret while you're up there! I love that venue. (Bonus: cheap bottles of wine.)
  12. Hi all. Newbie here. Been working in the industry about a decade. Didn't study it in undergrad. First time going through the grad school application process. Glad to find this thread. I've applied to Washington, CalArts, DePaul and New School. Decided not to go the URTA route this time. Actually just got an interview/audition invite from DePaul today. They were the first I applied to, so I'm taking that as a confidence booster. Just finished my New School application today, just under the deadline. I don't normally push deadlines like that but (let's all say it together!) "I'm in tech."
