This was pre-pandemic, but the Texas State University dramatic writing grad program isn't taking new students next year, and then after that IF they come back it will be a low residency program.

^^I have the same question as @Mel Rose, except mine is actually for a full blown musical. It's my latest work and I feel it's my strongest. I wrote all the words (book, lyrics,) and I even wrote parts of some songs, but for the most part a composer/friend is writing the music. What are the views on submitting a musical to a dramatic writing program? Yes it's a collaboration, but they would be able to see my voice and style pretty clearly. I have straight plays that I could submit, but I would prefer those to be secondary. Thoughts?

Hey all! I’m currently pretty far out from applying to grad schools since I still have a year and a half left of undergrad (I wouldn’t be going to grad until Fall ‘22) I’m wondering what y’all would recommend to do to spruce up my resume so that I can stand out and have a good chance at acceptance. Currently on my list is Northwestern, Brown, Tisch, UT @ Austin, CMU, Hunter, UCSD, UCLA, & Southern Illinois, but I’m going through this thread and seeing a bunch of others I’m interested in. Right now I don’t have any produced work for the stage, but I wrote and produced a web series. Really my questions/reasons for posting are: -What should my resume have on it? -What should I work toward now so that I stand out better? -Are there any schools I should look into? (Hoping to stay out of NYC with a few exceptions) -Are there any summer programs/internships you would recommend (for playwriting preferably, but anything in that vein would be rad) -Any advice on how I can get ahead in the process (even though I still have two years to go) Thank you!
