Rejected from Brown and Cornell. I was surprised to be rejected from Maryland's MA program as well. I don't have much hope for the other programs at this point as I haven't gotten any interviews. I have a BA in theatre, a masters degree in another field, and a clinical license, so I'm not sure what to focus on if I reapply next cycle. Maybe start an exploratory study to use as a writing sample? Or focus on the performance aspect? If anyone has any advice I'm all ears 🙂
