Has anyone on NYU’s waitlist heard from them yet? I’m curious if they’ve started reaching out.

Received an interview offer from NYU. I hope others are hearing some positive news as well!

Never interviewed with Pace but other interviews I've had were all different experiences. Some programs are more curious about you as an individual, some are more interested in your writing samples/current projects, and some want to know about both. My general advice after going through the process three times now is to use active language when you talk about your plays and what excites you. It's better to say "I do A and B well but I need to work on C and D" than being passive or vague when describing your work or what you want out of the program. But then again- I haven't been accepted anywhere yet so take this "insight" with a grain of salt! Best of luck to you!

Apropos of nothing (ha) I'm starting to think that Carnegie Mellon has already sent out interview requests. I received one last year on Feb 15 after an initial email on Feb 2nd explaining that they were running behind schedule. I haven't heard anything about them being behind schedule this year so I'm guessing they already reached out to applicants for interviews. Can anyone confirm or deny this theory? Still waiting on responses from NYU, Hunter, and Northwestern as well.

It's my third year applying so I'm trying to stay optimistic. I've submitted apps to NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Boston, Hunter, and finishing up Northwestern now. Also considering applying for the Dramatic Writing MFA program at the Royal Central School in London. Out of curiosity, does anyone have experience applying or going to graduate school abroad? I think it would be a fun oppurtunity but also not sure if getting a degree in London will give me the connections and such I need to make things happen in the US. Good luck everyone

Got an interview offer from Carnegie this morning so I believe they are being sent out now.
