mdmdmd Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 just jumping in here... anyone got any news? ><
clavius Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 Seems like Brown's been in touch for interviews.
Troodondodo Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Has anyone heard anything from Northwestern IPTD?
TheNextSupreme Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Got Denied from UC Berkeley last night via the web portal. Bummer! Did anyone hear back from Tufts, Stanford, UMD, or Cornell?
clavius Posted January 30, 2019 Author Posted January 30, 2019 I believe Stanford have contacted their shortlist. Haven't seen/heard anything about the others, @TheNextSupreme.

MishaPanda Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Hello All, Last year I applied to a few Philosophy programmes to no avail. This year I've decided to go back to my BA roots and do theatre/drama. I've applied mainly to international programmes and have two results to report so far: Accepted without funding to PhD Theatre Studies at Victoria University of Wellington (NZ). I have declined this offer, as I've decided it's just too far away! Plus it seems untenable without funding... Accepted to PhD Shakespeare Studies at The Shakespeare Institute, Stratford Upon Avon (University of Birmingham). No word yet on funding...but I feel hopeful. And in all likelihood, I'll accept this offer. Still waiting on a couple others... Good luck to everyone! seizing 1

Had a lovely phone interview with UT Austin though-- Fingers crossed! clavius 1
clavius Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Just got accepted to Columbia. Delirious. Troodondodo and MishaPanda 2

clavius Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Thanks! Everything has been via email.
chasingvermeer Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Hi y'all! I've been lurking on this thread for a while now and figured I would jump in once I got some news. "Some news" came yesterday when I received an email from Catherine Sheehy, chair of Yale's Dramaturgy + Dramatic Crit Dept, inviting me for an interview! I'm honestly shocked--no theater background (which the department page does say is not a prerequisite, but still...) and was most recently working at Macy's (lol). Anyway, just thought I'd share for anyone who's waiting to hear back. any interview advice would be greatly appreciated! ? (side note: there was a typo in the email I was sent, and it served as nice little reminder that as much as we venerate these institutions, they are composed of very human individuals, who are just as fallible as we are--an encouraging thought as this process ramps up!) Edited February 6, 2019 by chasingvermeer Troodondodo, clavius, seizing and 1 other 2 2
clavius Posted February 9, 2019 Author Posted February 9, 2019 I received a few rejections this week, which I weathered fine given the earlier good news. But I can imagine how I’d be losing it had these come in a different order. So keep faith. As the IRA would say, we only have to be lucky once...
deirdrenyc Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Has anyone heard from Northwestern IPTD? I haven't seen anything on the results page. Happy to report that I was accepted to UT Austin! It was such a relief after rejections from Stanford and Tufts. @clavius congrats on Columbia! You're right, it's really trying when the results come in the opposite order haha Troodondodo and clavius 2
clavius Posted February 13, 2019 Author Posted February 13, 2019 That's great, @deirdrenyc! And nope, haven't heard/seen anything about NW IPTD decisions. Just an email from them last month asking about an upload.
gingyfish Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 Hi everyone! Congrats on all your acceptances!! I've been lurking on here for a month or so and wanted to pop in to see if anyone has heard from Berkeley post-interview, or if anyone knows how long this stage usually takes. I interviewed with them back in January, and I'm dying to hear something. The thread from last year seems to show a really quick turn around, so I'm of course panicking and overanalyzing everything I said and didn't say in the interview at this point!

The person who interviewed me suggested it would be 2–3 weeks, and it's now been 3 weeks. So hopefully soon!

Glad to hear I'm not alone, and at least that we should be getting close. Fingers crossed for both of us!

MishaPanda Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Any news anyone? I’ve very amazingly received another acceptance, to Queen Mary University of London’s Drama PhD program. I thought I’d settled on the Shakespeare Institute before, but now I’m not feeling as sure. Living in London seems preferable to me to living in Stratford, but I suppose there are other considerations as well. My potential supervisor at The Shakespeare Institute has been much more responsive in our communications, and I’m worried that the lack of responsiveness from the one at QM is a red flag I should heed... clavius 1
ellohell Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 That single Cornell rejection from 5 days ago sitting there on the results page has me squirming. No one has heard ANYTHING from UCLA??? Let's get some good news this week, folks!
Anelle Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Hi! Congrats on your acceptances! Has anyone heard from Cornell or UCSB?

DirectorsCoffee Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I'm going a little outta my mind waiting to hear from UCSD and/or UC Irvine!
