I also heard from a friend that UW offers went out earlier this week. As far as I know, they haven't reached out about alternates/waitlist yet, just made first-round offers.
Congrats all!
If you haven't already, I recommend checking out the Facebook group "U.S. Theatre Director Resources" — https://www.facebook.com/groups/540583576019790
You can search "website" and find a lot of examples!
Congrats @dr.know, for the Yale and CalArts news!
It sounds like UW is moving into offers within the next few weeks, they're in the midst of finalist interviews right now. DePaul final interviews are this weekend.
Everyone is incredibly kind, but 20 minutes is a very short time frame! I got the impression they had spent a lot of time with my materials, and their questions were pretty straight to the point. More detailed follow-up questions about things I said in my statement, and fewer big picture "why grad school" questions from Austin, at least for me.
dr.know, what are you thinking for "presenting information about productions you've directed"? I'm thinking a lot about how to best achieve this within the time limits, having already sent in my portfolio.
I didn't apply to CalArts so unfortunately no help there.
This is a great thought, cf99! I appreciate this perspective, it demystifies the structure a bit for me.
I received an email invitation from UCSD. My online application doesn't appear to have changed either, so I think they just emailed.
I am anticipating doing MUD, but have not responded yet. What about you?
