The Aristocrats

Hilarious, a similar performance will ensue in my neck of the woods.

I applied to an MA in Theory & Criticism at Uni Western Ontario, I'm American. Does anyone know about funding for Americans? It says full funding and that it has a way to fun international applicants but I've heard a ton of mixed reviews/stories. Any advice on this school? I mesh with the interests floating around the school but don't know much about it.

I've applied to UCI's joint program in Drama/Theatre! We're so underrepresented on here! Good luck!

I just submitted electronic applications and sent off supplemental materials to the two schools I am applying to. Will be able to check status of application in 4-5 business days. I AM ALREADY NERVOUS. Nerves stemming from two things: the fact that 2/3 letter writers haven't responded to my emails all break and that the decision to apply to these two programs was entirely last minute. I applied to UC Irvine/UC San Diego's Joint Doctoral program in Drama & Theatre and University of Western Ontario's MA in Theory & Criticism. I applied to the first at the request of a professor I have been working with for the last year. His interests are perfectly aligned with mine, but my GRE, GPA (3.32, website says 3.5 is required without a masters- but prof says gpa/gre is supplemental info at best?) and general background in Theatre & Drama is pretty bad. I took the new gre which resulted in extra low scores. I feel good about the way that I spun my personal history statement (for fellowships/personal background) and how I framed by statement of purpose, but it feels contrived. I don't know if anyone else feels like this. If ANYONE has interests in/info about these programs, or in a similar situation I would like to commiserate! Good luck everyone.
