Sorry about the Berkeley rejection. Where did you see it? Were you interviewed? I checked my application portal- I don't have a change to my status yet. I recieved an email from Berkeley asking me to check my status in my application portal. If you have not received any email, and your status have not changed, you might be still considered.

I had an interview with Berkeley, and was told that the admission committee would meet on this Wednesday and that decisions would be communicated within the next couple of weeks. Also have one interview scheduled with Stanford, they framed it as a "semi-finalist pool"... Thank you. Congrats on your interviews. That is so exciting to hear from those dream schools.

JoJoDD Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I received an invitation for interview from Yale Dramaturgy MFA, either on-site or SKYPE. Got rejected by Berkeley and haven't heard anything from other schools yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taps2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Following! Just thought I'd jump in and say I also got that Northwestern PS rejection, and haven't heard back from anywhere else (including Berkeley and Brown). I guess just hanging tight and hoping no news is good news! theatregrad18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsflantastic Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Echoing the folks who haven't heard from Brown. A little paranoid, especially since one of my recommendations came in really late. I also saw that someone put a rejection on the results page, too, so... maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariahjewelalanis Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Got into Madison ITS this week but also wondering about Brown. Seems that since 2015 they haven't sent out interview emails later than Jan 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown *did* have an extended deadline this year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that has delayed their usual schedule. If any of you brave ones choose to bite the bullet & reach out to these programs re: status of admissions...feel free to post about it in here. ? As for me, just applied to Washington. All done with apps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophie Peng Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Hey guys! I need some advices. I got three offers so far: UC Davis, Ohio State, and CU at Boulder. I’m struggling between UC Davis and Ohio State. Basically, I found the program of Davis is kind of what I want (PaR and specializes in interactive medias); Ohio State is more like a traditional Theater program but my colleagues highly recommended it. So from the perspective of the program itself, which one is better? (My research interest fall into spectatorship, digital media, and labor/ethic.) Thank you so much! Rejected by Northwestern today T.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theatregrad18 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi guys, I hate to bear bad news: If you haven't been contacted by Brown at all, I'm sorry to say it's a rejection. DGS says official letters will go out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSPhD Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 TUFTS Theatre & PS has sent out acceptances. Brown TAPS on-campus interviews are February 13 and 14. Has anyone heard from Stanford TAPS after the "semi-finalist" round? Or from NYU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taps2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Anyone else still waiting to hear anything from Berkeley? (And haven't heard from NYU, nobody in the past seems to have posted about interviews from there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promenade Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Hi Folks! I am new here! I had Skype interviews with Stanford TAPS and Northwestern PS several weeks ago and haven't heard back yet... Has anyone heard from them after Skype interviews?! (I just saw a couple people had been invited by Stanford for a campus visit. Does this mean I got rejected?) I don't know if it's okay to contact them to ask about the results... Thanks!!

I know a couple people who have also been invited to campus interviews by Northwestern PS this week (21-23, I think?). Not sure when their invites were sent out, but Stanford sent theirs out on the 7th to visit the 26-27. I’m also not sure if either school does any kind of waitlist, but it might be worth it to reach out if you haven’t heard anything by maybe early March?

theatrenerd Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi Everyone! Thanks for all the helpful tips and results posted to this forum. I'm only waiting to hear back from the CUNY Grad Center at this point and I saw one unofficial admit and an official waitlist posted to the results. No official admits or rejections though. Anyone have any other info they've heard? Or if the unofficial admit person is seeing this - have you heard anything official yet? I figure no news is good news, but who knows at this point!

I received the acceptance email from CUNY a few days ago.. (it said the official letter from the school would arrive soon) they are organizing a campus visit day in March for accepted and waitlist students. I hope this info helps.

theservantwaits Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hi folks! First, thank you all for posting here. Some theater friends and I have applied to various programs, and it's been really nice seeing that we're not the only people stressing about this. We are feeling the stress too, so you are not alone! Second, congrats to the folks who have gotten into programs! A couple of my friends have acceptances, but they didn't want to post about it. Superstitious, I guess? But in our group, there are still some schools that we know nothing about. So I figured I would ask....has anyone gotten responses for PhD programs in Theatre / Performance Studies from any of these schools? Bowling Green, Cornell, Ohio University, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, U of Georgia, U of Maryland, U of Minnesota, U of Washington, U of British Columbia, and York University We're a bit all over the place. Anyone hear anything from these? We figure no news is probably bad news in most cases, but some of these had late application deadlines. Any intel would be great. Thanks, and best of luck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
