Hi all! I’m a little late to the game because I’m new to Gradcafe, but I wanted to contribute everything I know in case it helps somebody. I had an interview with SIU Carbondale on February 8th. Their head of playwriting said they’d send out decisions in early March. These were the questions they asked me: Tell me about your academic/artistic background. Why do you want to get an MFA? Why playwriting? What attracts you to SIU in particular? Tell me about the next play you want to write or a topic you want to write about. What’s a play you’re excited about right now? I went to Brown’s virtual info session back in November and they said they would conduct interviews in late February and send out decisions in early March. Part of me wants to hold out hope that they’re just running late with interviews and it’s not a flat out “no,” but I won’t hold my breath. 🫠 I haven’t heard anything from the other schools I applied to (Iowa, Indiana, Boston U, Yale, and UCSD). Does anybody know anything about Indiana’s timeline? I went to their fall info session, too, but they didn’t mention it and I didn’t think to ask. Sending you all good vibes! ❤️
