Nice! I'm applying to the Austin Theatre & Dance school, not Michener... Have you been able to find concrete info on the differences between the two? They seem to have the same faculty. My guess is that the T&D program has more of an emphasis on production, but that's just pure guessing. Haha, yeah, some of the students are fresh out of undergrad and some seem to have had tons of fellowships and productions already. I've just been getting so in my head about resumes and Statements of Purpose that I need to keep reminding myself that the hardest & most important part is already done--actually *writing* the plays

Good luck! Is it your first time applying to MFA programs?

Hey everybody! First time poster who just spent all morning at his desk job reading 80-pages of forum posts. Just popping in to see how everyone's doing with MFA applications! It's my first time applying to programs and, with deadlines coming up soon, online commiseration has always helped with anxiety. Ha. ugh. My main question at the moment though: what are they really looking for in a resume? I've been out of undergrad for ~4.5 years now, but I don't have much of a production history or any fellowships, awards, etc. It's mostly focused on undergrad education (acting), work experience from the past few years (screenwriting & film development), a small selection of self-produced production history and a list of plays written. It's around 2 pages, but feels very inexperienced... Applying to UCSD (#1 choice), Austin, Iowa, Carnegie Mellon, Yale, Brown, and maybe Northwestern. How's everybody else doing??
