Congrats!!!  Break a leg!  Kim is so awesome. 

Thank you!!  Yes it's so beautiful, I studied in the UK for awhile in my undergrad, but haven't been back since.  I am equally excited and terrified.  The program is a good fit for me, they have a playwriting MFA cohort that you work closely with and developing and directing new work is one of my main interests and they have an equal amount focused on Shakespeare too.  The two program heads are really great people.  I am taking a bit of a different route with getting my MFA abroad, but that's how I operate.  

CMU has not put out offers. I was invited to a campus visit/callback for the end of the month. 

Awesome & Congrats! I visited Edinburgh a few years ago, it's so beautiful. 

Thanks!!  I will be attending Edinburgh Napier in Scotland.  It's a newer MFA program and it sounds really great.  I am praying that things get better with the pandemic. 

Congrats on getting in somewhere!
 
I am also currently waitlisted with CMU. 

Congrats! Where will you be attending in the Fall?

CMU has either notified finalists or made offers not sure which or if they are doing things differently this year.  I was waitlisted again this year, but alas I am going to my choice B program which I am very grateful for, even though much is unknown with the pandemic.  @LittleViking131 yeah I hate that many of the schools don't send out no's until very late.

CMU sent out interview requests today!

Oh awesome. Just DM'd you! Thank you!

@ctbck I was a finalist at DePaul last year, I'm happy to give some insight, DM me if you'd like to.  Otherwise break legs!!!!  

Can confirm, UT Austin has contacted finalists. BU and UC Irvine as well!
I've heard nothing since my interview from UCLA, CalArts, and South Carolina. Have heard nothing since applying from CMU, Columbia, and UCSD. 

Well, even though some folks have not heard yet, the wait may go on. Some schools have delayed processing because of covid 19. @littlepeep C has suspended classes so that may impact notices

Hi All!  Congrats to those getting acceptances and I am right there with you on waiting on some still for those that are waiting.  I feel like after this process I realized that only 1 of the schools I applied to this year was really a good fit for me and that was CMU.  I was notified that I was taken off the waitlist there a week ago, so did not get in and I assume they offered their spots? DePaul I was a finalist at and did not get in however, that is FINE with me as I decided while there I really do not like that program at all for many reasons.  UCSD just rejected me now after not bothering to communicate anything at all.  CalArts who knows?!  I wanted to communicate on here that I learned while at DePaul a couple weeks ago that Northwestern actually offered their 2 spots to candidates who didn't even interview this year they did in previous years...I find this ridiculous and again will not apply there again that is BS.  I am frustrated and feel that I wasted a crap ton of money.  Just as an FYI I actually have applied to 2 programs in the UK (Edinburgh Napier and University of Birbeck London, they have very different time lines so I am still waiting.) I have no idea how I would get funding but wanted to see if it was a possibility.  

Break legs to all who have finalist interviews this weekend!  I for one am nervous as hell!

@Eccyclema congrats! I am on the CMU wait list as well. 

Just got an email saying I was waitlisted for CMU, surprising since I didn't receive any follow-up after my Skype interview, but more heartening than an outright rejection for sure!

@CatMeow Thanks! I'm really excited. 14-15 was the only option.

@TChicagoS Yes - I received an invite yesterday. Feb 14-15!

Now that CMU interviews are over, what were everyone’s impressions? 
 
I thought Kim was pretty cool.??
 

Thanks. I was worried there was a conspiracy afoot. 

Did the people who applied to Northwestern through URTAS get interviews while anyone who applied directly didn't get anything? 

Hey!
Twin Cities based here (hey @CatMeow!) I applied to the Chicago URTas this year and will be leaving on Thursday. I got interviews with all the schools I sent letters two besides two (UCLA & FSU). I have interviews with BU, Iowa, Indiana, ISU, UNCG, and UT Austin. I also got interviews from Northwestern, Texas State, and the 15 Acting school. I did not get interviews at UCLA and FSU, where I did send letters to.
I also applied to Yale, UCSD, U Mass Amherst, and UW Seattle. I have not heard back from any of those schools. so probably did not get a Yale interview or one from UCSD.
Here's to hoping!
