I've been another one of those lurkers who got into a program for this year but still receive email updates, and I wasn't going to come on or comment until I saw the threat start to mention ageism. For what it is worth, friends on both ends of the spectrum, I got into a top program in NYC and I am in my mid-forties, and several of my classmates are under 25. I do think that, in the end, it's about the quality of your writing sample, at least for school admissions. After that, we're in another ballgame I suppose. Anyway, good luck, all.

Hello friends. Longwalktonever, I don't know if I have you to thank but I got the call from the lovely people at NYU this week and am absolutely thrilled to be off the wait list and headed to Tisch. Congrats to you too, Miranda, you've been at this a long time and glad you are in a strong program. Hope we'll all meet as colleagues one day.

Just taking a stab at resurrecting this forum. Is anyone listening? If so this might be a nice place to hang out together.

@EccentricDreamer: cannot tell you how happy I am to hear your good news. Hooray! Hope you get to make lots of good things happen in LA. For those of us who are waitlisted at Tisch, I thought this forum might be interesting. It's a subforum under "Waiting it Out" called "Waitlist at Tisch." It's stale but seems like a good time to resurrect it? I am thrilled to be on the list but scared about funding and timing issues, and I expect I am not the only one.

Hi Alraune, No idea if you'll get this as this thread seems dead, but I am currently on the waitlist for fall 2013 and your post gave me hope about funding. I wonder what program you were accepted to and what you decided to do? If you get this I would appreciate any info. Thanks!

Just found out I got wait listed at Tisch. Very happy at this good news but have no idea what the odds are of getting off the list! Longwalktonever, the verdict is in: you are a playwright to watch! By the way, I hear USC is a wonderful program

Failsafe, thanks for your amazing post. Great stuff.

USC rejection received today via email. Nice letter, very kind. Three down, three to go! Come on, Tisch!

No word from Tisch.

Classy letter from Eric Ehn. That they only accepted 2 people makes me feel a ton better. When you get down to that small a statistical sample, it is clear how totally NOT about our abilities the process can be. Albee vs. O'Neill....hmmm...can we talk Letts vs. Kushner?

I feel terrible saying this, but it does feel better knowing I'm not the only one! But I was the first Next is NYU I suppose?

Okay, someone must have gotten into Brown. Don't be shy...let us know! As for me I knew it was a longshot. My writing couldn't be further from what they appear to be looking for either, lurkinglucy. Two down, four to go...

Ditto, tjack.

According to the survey page of acceptances and rejections, it looks like last year Brown sent out rejections on February 28, which is, of course, tomorrow. Is anyone enjoying this :-? Congrats to all you finalists! Here's hoping we all get some good news in the next week or two.

WOW! Way to go, TEETH! That's terrific. How were you notified?
