In other non-mfa related news, I just got word that I got accepted into GPTC (!!) (still unsure if I will be able to go). So if you applied to that one, you should be hearing soon.

@Mday and @bibsy congrats on the waitlist! It is a big accomplishment, even if it may not feel that way right now. I hope spots open up for both of you. I do think that Iowa interview is real. I was on r/playwriting this morning and someone was asking for advice about how to approach their Iowa interview tomorrow.

Bummer about Michener, but good luck on the Northwestern interview!

It does make me wonder if UCSD interviews are already out and just being unreported lol

For those that applied to Iowa, on the Results page it says someone got contacted for an interview on 2/17. That's like really early right?

Well I still haven't heard from any of the schools I've applied to yet, but I did just hear that I'm moving on for Ojai which is nice. Anyone else hear good news from the festival circuit?

Tomorrow is still this week (and maybe they just need a bit more time too).

I have been learning how to crochet. My New Year's resolution was to take up a hobby I couldn't monetize, and now I have two dinosaurs. I also signed up to be a reader for a new play festival, and so far I haven't come across any bad plays.

Ahhhhh that's my worst nightmare! I'm glad they let you reschedule and that it went well though. Besides make sure you've got the right timezone, do you have any advice for going into an interview now that you've done it?

Wait that's so cool! And I am slightly jealous that you didn't have to write the statement of pedagogy.

I love this! I mean, not the getting laid off part, but all the rest! I totally feel you on wanting to build up a practice that doesn't depend on outside parties. The entertainment world is so volatile right now, and it doesn't look like it's settling anytime soon. One of the reasons I applied to UC Riverside is because of the inter-disciplinary aspect of their program. They encourage you to seminars in a variety of genres, and if I end up there I'll definitely be taking advantage of that!

@bibsy Congrats!! Out of curiosity, if you end up having to choose between a creative writing and a playwriting program, which one are you leaning toward?

Hiya! First time applicant here. I'm submitting to UCSD today with USC and UCR to follow shortly.
