Northwestern update: Received a rejection through e-mail. Just waiting to hear back from Yale now. I was under the impression that people were notified about acceptances, rejections, and waitlisting the week after the final callbacks, but it's now been a full two weeks since the callbacks and still nothing. Looking forward to hearing if anybody on here knows of anyone who attended the final callback who has heard back one way or the other.

Does anybody know if Yale has made their final decisions yet? I was at the final callback, but that was over a week ago and I still haven't heard anything. Also, any news on second interviews from Northwestern? I had a first about a month ago and haven't heard anything since.

UCSD: Got an e-mail two days ago letting me know I will not be moving on to a second interview. Yale: Got a phone call last week inviting me to the final callback. Northwestern: Just did my first interview yesterday.

@ctbck I applied directly to Northwestern (not through URTAS) and received an e-mail last week inviting me to an interview in early February.

I just had my interview with UCSD over Skype this morning. Happy to answer any questions anybody has about what that was like. Was told it'll be a few weeks until I hear about a potential second interview. I got a phone call late last week about a first interview at Yale. Flying out to New Haven late next week for that. Browsing through past threads to help me prepare for that one. This site has been an invaluable resource. Northwestern is the only school I have yet to hear back from.

Got an e-mail yesterday from UCSD asking for a Skype interview. Still waiting to hear from Yale and Northwestern. @ctbck I tried to hit three main points with my statement of purpose: 1) Why grad school and why now, 2) why theater and why directing, and 3) my strengths and weaknesses as a director. After many drafts and rewrites, my directing professor from undergrad gave me the best advice: Sit down and just write. Don't overthink it, otherwise you'll be rewriting this thing up until the deadline even though the statement of purpose only makes up one small portion of your application. This is just an introduction. They have no idea who you are. Introduce yourself. You are not competing with anyone except yourself.

Hey everyone! Long time reader, first time poster here. I applied to UCSD, Yale, and Northwestern, but have yet to hear back from any of them. Anybody got any info from applying in previous years on when these schools tend to respond?
