Same. I've kind already crossed it out in my head tbh lol

The right calls come when it's time Bundle up! I don't know where you're from but I was freezing at my visit lol

Congratulations!!!

They did not. I did misspeak, this was 3 years ago, they just graduated. They applied to 3 schools: Columbia, CMU and a 3rd. They got accepted into the other 2 and picked Columbia. I recall they didn't enjoy their interview w/ CMU. Wasnt the right match

I had my phone interview last week with UCSD. No word back yet on making it to the 2nd round of interviews. It would be a SKYPE call w/ the entire Playwriting cohort.

Got an email about interviewing today, as well.

Hey y'all, Northwestern requests for interviews went out today.

I've had a friend who applied last year who had a similar experience.

I made sure to do so. Everyone post what you can! It only helps the next and current flock

Thank you! Not trying to get to excited, and appreciating the fact I even got an interview. Deborah is really nice though

I got an email from Deborah at 7pm Est on Monday to organize a time to talk this week.

UCSD Update: I had a phone interview with Debroah Stein today. They're interviewing 8-10 ppl (her and Naomi). I should hear back in about 2 weeks

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm probably with you on the UT boat. But hey, its a long road

Congratuatulations to all with CMU interviews! Best of luck! I think I saw some recent posts on the MFA DRAFT '20 FB page about interviews and what to expect, etc if that's helpful.

This was really reassuring to hear. Thank you

Thank you for this! I haven't even let myself think that far yet lol

Yeah, I'm thinking people sike themselves out of applying because of the "Yale" title. On Visitor's Day they said they divide the applicants amongst the reading committee (including Tarell). Each person picks about 2-3 from their stack, leaving Tarell with 20. Then I think he picks who to interview from there.

If this is still relevant to anyone, I was told they get 175-200 applicants a year

Thank you so much, @captbaka! The advice and comradery is so helpful. I had stuck to the MFA Draft FB group, but its good to know this is where all the playwrights are lol And I felt the same about my grades as well (almost didn't apply at all because of them) so that is very encouraging to hear. Hope you're having a wonderful time! I met Naomi briefly for the first time and she's so sweet! UCSD just seems to have really nice people

Just what I wanted to hear, thank you!

Hi, I just applied the last day of the extension! I'm glad to hear you've had such a positive experience! Have there been any sturggles/ adjustments with the recent change in Heads?

Hi @captbaka ! I just applied and UCSD is a top choice of mine. I'd love to know how you picked your sample and when did year hear back about getting that first interview and flying out?
