I got notified by Brooklyn College that I got in and decided to accept. He did tell me though that he hasn’t offered the other two slots yet, but should be in the next week. I hope that helps. 

Doing my UCLA callback via Zoom. Live streaming a scene for them. Theres a first for everything lol

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

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!

That is something!! Congratulations!!

Thank you! All these programs are so competitive, if it's meant to be, it will be.

 

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

Congrats! What was the interview at Northwestern like? 

Hey ya'll,
I found this forum super helpful when applying, so thought I'd chime in. 
First time applying and I applied to UT Austin, Yale, and BK College. 
I had my first Yale interview on Monday, they told me I would hear next week about callbacks which happen the last weekend of February.
I just (I mean like 10 minutes ago) heard back from UT Austin about a first interview. I did not apply through URTAs
BK College isn't due until February 1st, but I live close by so I've already done a drop in class and the program director told me he'd reach out in early February to schedule my official interview. 
I hope any of that is helpful for anyone waiting on those schools, and good luck to everyone. 

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!

the people that have already been rejected by northwestern, did you have an interview first? Or did they reject you strictly off of your applications?
Thanks!

My statement of purpose is all about what I want from the theatre and how my own life connects to it. I think writing about your passion for directing and why you think it's important can suffice for your statement of purpose. 

Has anyone done URTAs before and can they fill us in on how those interviews usually go? Ironically I got my MFA in Acting from an URTA school, but I am sure that the MFA Directing interviews are very different. 

Thanks for being so helpful everybody, and best of luck!
