Popping in to say that I got into the NYU MA, but won't be attending because of the price tag and, more importantly, because I got accepted into Yale's Dramaturgy MFA--suspect that their funding will be much better, plus I can actually afford to live in New Haven. In case anyone's curious, I interviewed with Yale on the 8th and heard back that same weekend (!).
Anyway, much luck to everyone waiting for news! 

Lol When I got rejected from Yale, my professor said her car got stolen while visiting there. ?

Any news anyone? I’ve very amazingly received another acceptance, to Queen Mary University of London’s Drama PhD program. I thought I’d settled on the Shakespeare Institute before, but now I’m not feeling as sure. Living in London seems preferable to me to living in Stratford, but I suppose there are other considerations as well. My potential supervisor at The Shakespeare Institute has been much more responsive in our communications, and I’m worried that the lack of responsiveness from the one at QM is a red flag I should heed...

Has anyone heard from Northwestern IPTD? I haven't seen anything on the results page. 
Happy to report that I was accepted to UT Austin! It was such a relief after rejections from Stanford and Tufts. 
@clavius congrats on Columbia! You're right, it's really trying when the results come in the opposite order haha 

Hi y'all! I've been lurking on this thread for a while now and figured I would jump in once I got some news. "Some news" came yesterday when I received an email from Catherine Sheehy, chair of Yale's Dramaturgy + Dramatic Crit Dept, inviting me for an interview! I'm honestly shocked--no theater background (which the department page does say is not a prerequisite, but still...) and was most recently working at Macy's (lol). Anyway, just thought I'd share for anyone who's waiting to hear back. 
any interview advice would be greatly appreciated! ?
(side note: there was a typo in the email I was sent, and it served as nice little reminder that as much as we venerate these institutions, they are composed of very human individuals, who are just as fallible as we are--an encouraging thought as this process ramps up!)

Am I the only person that got rejected from Columbia without even applying? 
This is my life.

Just got accepted to Columbia. Delirious.

Just got accepted to Columbia. Delirious.

Just got my rejection from Tufts. Hoping you're fairing better! 
Had a lovely phone interview with UT Austin though-- Fingers crossed! 

Thought I'd get this one started...

Congrats! That’s fantastic.

Got acceptances from both Toronto and Wisconsin Madison.

@clavius Hey! That's great! Congratulations! 

Hi @seizing. Quite a few programs have people on faculty who study experimental or avant-garde theater. I think your best bet is to find some scholarship you admire and then seek out those authors. You don't want to get stuck with someone who writes nonsense about the thing love.
