@galbi7892 I have also applied to the Virginia Tech MFA in Directing and Public Dialogue program, but I have not heard anything back either. I spoke to the head of the program several months ago, but I've had nothing but radio silence since. The online application was the strangest and most drawn out of any of the schools I applied to. I'm curious if the grad school itself needs to review and accept applications before they are passed on to the department for evaluation, but I'm just speculating. It certainly is my first choice, but accepting only one person a year it kind of has to be. Best of luck, I'm just happy that a program like this exists at all.
