Had been feeling pretty sad all day, but just got an unofficial acceptance into Hawai'i... So that's something!

Has anyone from URTAS (or otherwise) heard from Northwestern at all? Or Texas State after their 15 min URTA folow-up interviews?

Hey @PitbullLady UT was a top pick for me too, but this year will be brutal since they are only accepting one director.

@rubcar91 congrats on Yale and Northwestern!
-
Just got my Yale rejection too! (No interview in the first place, but nice to hear back) Thank you @LRI160 for the UT Austin update!
-
Still waiting on Northwestern and UT Austin, anyone hear back yet?
-
Congrats @ShesABrick, Kim seems super cool! Bummed for myself, but on to the next.

So responses from URTAS are really heating up. I have got interviews from Iowa and Texas State so far, in addition to an invitation to visit FSU. Crossing my fingers that I hear from at least 2 more!

Hey y'all! I thought URTAS went really well! I've gotten a couple general responses from my URTA thank you emails (I interviewed in Chi), and I was invited to visit FSU in a couple of weeks. Can't wait until February 3rd! While in town I also did my Skype interview with Kim. She was very nice and I thought she asked good questions.

Just got a Skype interview Request from CMU! Good luck to everyone hoping to hear from them!

Hey @TChicagoS, if there is no one here is familiar (sorry, I am not), I think there may be some insights in older MFA Directing hopeful threads.
-
Hey Fam! Thanks for all the good info! I am also in the waiting on CMU boat, will be holding out for Feb 1st. Besides URTAS news it has been completely dry for me except confirmations of my submissions. Really hoping for some good news soon!
-
@rubcar91 Congrats on your interviews with both!!! I'm probably gonna assume that Yale's a no for me then!
-
Haven't heard anything yet....?

Thank you @TChicagoS, that is all incredibly helpful! How's everyone handling the wait? I for one am checking this forum for new on a near pathological basis.
-
@TChicagoS thank you so much! This is incredibly helpful! Did you get the sense that interviewers were invested? Part of me worries that URTAS are a bit of a cattle call and that there might be less of an interest since the interviews are so short and they always have direct applicants. Also if you are willing to share, no obligation, how many schools contacted you about next steps after your initial interview?
-
Hey @CatMeow! Welcome! This is my first time to applying to URTAS, so I cannot speak to the advantage/disadvantage, other to say that the URTA common app can apply you to schools you hadn't considered. As for CMU, I have not heard from them, but seeing as their deadline was 1/1, I would say it will be at least another week or 3 before we hear back.

Hello! @rubcar91 I applied to Northwestern through URTAS and received an interview already. I am not sure what their direct deadline was, or how they balance Direct/URTAS deadlines. In the past two years Yale had gotten back to folks on December 20th-ish, but I have scoured the internet and haven't heard a peep from folks. Usually a Yale interview call brings out the lurkers. So I'm hoping that they haven't contacted folks yet. Maybe next week since the holidays are over? No idea about UCSD, maybe @TheatreGuy123 could answer that? Hey @ctbck! Re statements of purpose: YES. I especially struggled this year because I applied to so many schools, so it felt strange to tweak them for each school. I had about 3 working formulas or framing devices that I used based on the school. So it will be interesting to see which essays were effective. So I'm nervous about that. Generally I tried to answer the questions: why theatre/directing (my values), why me (aethetic & process), why school & why now (goals, and obstacles). But laying it out like that makes it seem so much easier than it was writing the essays. WHICH is why I am so excited to say that I am officially DONE with applications!!! Now I'll move into interview prep for URTAS and of course, the torturous grad waiting period! ? For now, I'm just celebrating being done with essay writing (and paying application fees ??). How's everyone else doing on this side of the new year?

Heard back from URTAS yesterday! Got interviews with 8 schools! Will I see anyone else there?! Also based on the past two years, I would guess that today is a good day for folks to hear back from Yale if they got an interview. Fingers crossed!
-
Checking in to see where we are all at! So far I have applied to 5 schools and have 2 more to go! We should be hearing from URTAS soon, Yale as well! Let us know if anyone hears anything!
