SO happy for you, so sad for me. No email, nothing in my portal from NYU.

Me too. Sigh.

I wonder if this coronavirus chaos will draw out this decision process.

I don't think they usually do interviews. I could be wrong.

Has anyone else had their NYU interview? How did it go? Mine was weirdly informal. My interviewer, though super nice, had not read any of my materials. Is that normal for NYU?

Yes, and my heart lept into my throat. I guess they're trying to mitigate their usual disasters.

It deterred me. I also don't want to live in Boston. I'm from Boston.

Well, babes, last year I applied to 10 schools and got nothing. Not even an interview. I spent the year working on my application and submitted a new play with a totally reworked SOP. I just got an interview request from NYU! So... Anyone have any advice? What kinds of questions should I prepare to answer?

Aaaaaand rejected. I figured as much.

Yes. Ugh.

Thank you, this is so helpful!

Dampka, Dampka, Dampka!

Can you talk about the two separate programs? Once everyone is in, are they separate?

I don't think anyone's gotten rejections from Hunter, though. I'm in the same boat with them and UCSD.

I haven't heard a peep from Yale. No rejection on the website, but also nothing about an interview.

Hey, babes! Are you all posting your results to the results page, too? It's unusually quiet over there. I haven't heard anything yet, but usually there are a few people who have heard something by now.

Thank you, Kevin! If I'm lucky enough to get an interview, I'll hit you up!

People who've had interviews: what are they like? What kinds of questions do they ask you?

How long should your resume/cv be? Is three pages too long?

With the sample, it depends on the program. Get in touch with them to confirm. Pretty sure you can reuse your recommendations. Juilliard requires an additional or updated letter if you're reapplying, so I guess it still depends on the program.

You too! How was your interview?

I just got an email letting me know they were still reviewing my application.

Has anyone heard from Hunter?

Hunter... What is happening?
