UCSD is having interviews this week so I believe they reached out to people

@Directorial I'm so sorry to hear that!! I was pulling for you!

@Boseph16Congrats on making the decision! I know you really loved Iowa's program so Im very happy that it all worked out for you! Good luck next year! @AgentMike Im so sorry thats really awful, I've had the same treatment from a couple schools and its very upsetting. Its one way how you treat someone when you want something from them its another when you don't, that's when your character shows. I just look at it as a sign that its not a place I would want to be. @_RICdirects_Welcome to the thread!! What other schools besides Penn have you applied to? How has the application process been for you?! @Loose.tap.screws I got an email on the 3rd from Tracee offering me a spot on the waitlist which I happily accepted. DePaul was my dream school when I was making my list of schools I was applying too. I never in a million years thought I would be this close Im honestly freaking out in the best way possible. At this point its up to fate so I'm leaving it in God's hands, if its meant to be it will. Either way it was a huge boost in confidence to make it this far. @Directorial if someone has waited this long to confirm with Iowa I think its a strong indicator they are waiting on another school so you still have a really strong shot!! Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!

@Directorial didn't someone say a few weeks ago that ASU contacted their finalist? I need to go back and look through the thread.

@Loose.tap.screws Thank you I love bowties!! It was wonderful to meet you as well! As for good news not so much, I got my rejection from Virginia Tech a couple nights ago and it was heartbreaking to say the least as it was in my top two, but I saw it coming so at least I was prepared for it. DePaul is still my number one so Im very anxious to hear back from them. Does anyone know around when we will? At finals Tracee said we would hear back as soon as they made a decision but I don't know when in years past that has normally been. Anyways keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!!

@Loose.tap.screws I was also at DePaul, I was the bald guy in the bow tie. Were you the Jewish man in the glasses? I did meet @steffybolt who was absolutely lovely. @KillerWingfield what makes me nervous is on the website for UMass Amhearst it says "After faculty has reviewed all completed applicant files, candidates selected for top consideration will be invited to campus for personal interviews between mid-February and late March." We are past mid February at this point. And if your referencing the 6-10 weeks thing on the application site, that's how long it takes for the theatre department to let the grad school know our admission decisions not necessarily the timing for the theatre school to contact us about interviews and visits. The only thing that gives me solace at this point is on the acceptances page in 2011 someone was contacted for an interview on Friday February 18th. But I just can't imagine them contacting us past this week for interviews I mean schools are making their admission decisions around this time.

Has anyone heard anything from UMass? I feel like it's getting too late in the game to not have heard something by this point.

@Carneades congratulations that's amazing for you! I saw that someone on the acceptances page had gotten an interview so I had guessed. I'm trying to remain positive but I just have a feeling at this point. I hope everything goes well for your interview good luck!!

@JamesBrown I might call just to be on the safe side. I'm so sorry that happened to you! But I'm glad your able to resolve it! Boarding my flight to Chicago now. Break legs to all the DePaul people!

@JamesBrown oh my god I'm so sorry! I remember the server crash but I didn't know it deleted applications. How did you find out your application was deleted? Now I'm nervous about mine.

@Loose.tap.screws @GunningForGrad I'm in the 1-5 group but I will be there for the dinner and show! I'm super excited for it, the premise of the play sounds incredibly intriguing. Does anyone know how many finalist there are?

Congrats @Boseph16 that's amazing! And Congrats @Directorial that's still a huge accomplishment!

@Boseph16 yeah Bob said the next step (and final from what I gathered?) would be them inviting their finalist for a visit to VTech.

@Carneades I agree with you on all fronts. It's really nice to hear from someone else who went through that specific application process because it is so different. The program is one of a kind and to find one that specific to the kind of theater I want to do it is incredibly daunting they only accept one. But unlike other programs they do accept students every year which I guess balances it out. Hopefully we both hear something soon! Best of luck as well!

@Prosperothat's how I feel about VTech, I know there was one other person on the forum that applied but they haven't said anything for a while. I know there were a few people on here that applied to UMass. I think it's hard because I heard from the other two schools I applied to so early that now I feel insecure about these two. The only thing I'm holding on to is that their applications were much more extensive with writing than a lot of other schools, so maybe it's taking them longer to get through them but then I just feel naive. It's just difficult because they are by far my favorite programs along with DePaul and I would be heartbroken if I didn't at least have the chance to interview. Anyways, goodluck with Boston! They have an awesome program I'll keep my fingers crossed that you hear from them!!
