TChicagoS Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Anyone heard from any more schools (i.e. Northwestern, Yale, DePaul)? Hope everyone is handling the wait okay!
rubcar91 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I just had my interview with UCSD over Skype this morning. Happy to answer any questions anybody has about what that was like. Was told it'll be a few weeks until I hear about a potential second interview. I got a phone call late last week about a first interview at Yale. Flying out to New Haven late next week for that. Browsing through past threads to help me prepare for that one. This site has been an invaluable resource. Northwestern is the only school I have yet to hear back from. Eccyclema 1
Eccyclema Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 @rubcar91 Congrats on your interviews with both!!! I'm probably gonna assume that Yale's a no for me then!
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Heard from DePaul today! Interviewing on campus Sat. Feb. 15. Anyone hear from anyone else? @Eccyclema I didn't apply to Yale so I don't know all the specifics but recently was having a conversation with a UCSD MFA graduate that is here in the Twin Cities, who said not to lose hope if you don't get in the first round of interviews with some schools that doesn't always mean anything as they may feel their first selection wasn't a good fit or vice versa. That gave me relief anyway! Edited January 14, 2020 by CatMeow Tintintheegg and Eccyclema 2
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Has anyone heard anything from CMU yet?
ShesABrick Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Hoping my info can put some minds at ease: Yale - Had first interview last week. (I was notified in late Dec). The latest date I was offered was Jan 17, so first round at least runs through then. CMU - Received an email today saying I never submitted my official transcript (OOPS). Hopefully some production communication coming soon! Email did mention that directing candidates would be notified by Feb 1 Northwestern - Received a rejection today. Womp! VA Tech - Based on others' experiences, I don't expect to hear anything until April Lonelytraveller127, TChicagoS, Eccyclema and 1 other 4
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 @ShesABrick congrats on the Yale interview! I too also got a rejection from NW today ? With CMU I felt their gradCAS system was confusing in terms of sending over transcripts! Good to know on Feb 1. too thanks. ShesABrick and Tintintheegg 2
Tintintheegg Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 I all! NW - rejection Yale - Interview Anyone hear from BU yet?
Tintintheegg Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Also - If it helps to know: Yale had interviews as late as February when I scheduled mine... And @CatMeow in regards to an earlier question: I'd say it's pretty common to apply multiple times. The grad students I spoke to this year at each college definitely had several rounds (only 1 lucked out with 1 year 1 school!). Hope everyone does great on their interviews!

Eccyclema Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Hey Fam! Thanks for all the good info! I am also in the waiting on CMU boat, will be holding out for Feb 1st. Besides URTAS news it has been completely dry for me except confirmations of my submissions. Really hoping for some good news soon!
TChicagoS Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Does anyone have any insights into the Columbia interviews? Thanks!
Eccyclema Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) Hey @TChicagoS, if there is no one here is familiar (sorry, I am not), I think there may be some insights in older MFA Directing hopeful threads. Edited January 17, 2020 by Eccyclema
Eccyclema Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Just got a Skype interview Request from CMU! Good luck to everyone hoping to hear from them! Lonelytraveller127 1
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Congrats @Eccyclema! I got a skype interview request with CMU too! Eccyclema 1
ShesABrick Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Same on the CMU request. Congrats @Eccyclema and @CatMeow! Eccyclema 1
TheatreGuy123 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 the people that have already been rejected by northwestern, did you have an interview first? Or did they reject you strictly off of your applications? Thanks! Lonelytraveller127 1

I haven't heard anything back personally but a couple weeks ago they emailed my friend about a 2 day audition/trial run/workshop under Anne Bogart next month in New York. Edited January 21, 2020 by markingmilestones spelling TChicagoS 1
markingmilestones Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 hello all, I applied to cmu, calarts, yale, and columbia for their directing mfa fall 2020 programs. I heard back from CMU today about scheduling a Skype interview, but other than that- nothing. suffering along with the best of them Lonelytraveller127 1
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 @TheatreGuy123, In regards to NW, David the assistant emailed me saying that I would not be invited for an interview.
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Anyone have any advice or insight on the "audition" interview meaning directing a scene under observation? Getting ready for my DePaul interview. Aside from being super prepared, being myself and pretending it's just myself and the actors in the room does anyone have any insightful tips? Thanks!
LittleViking131 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Hey! Twin Cities based here (hey @CatMeow!) I applied to the Chicago URTas this year and will be leaving on Thursday. I got interviews with all the schools I sent letters two besides two (UCLA & FSU). I have interviews with BU, Iowa, Indiana, ISU, UNCG, and UT Austin. I also got interviews from Northwestern, Texas State, and the 15 Acting school. I did not get interviews at UCLA and FSU, where I did send letters to. I also applied to Yale, UCSD, U Mass Amherst, and UW Seattle. I have not heard back from any of those schools. so probably did not get a Yale interview or one from UCSD. Here's to hoping! Lonelytraveller127 and Eccyclema 2
Lonelytraveller127 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Hey @LittleViking131!! Congrats on your urtas interviews. Ahhh sending you a message.
ctbck Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Did the people who applied to Northwestern through URTAS get interviews while anyone who applied directly didn't get anything? Lonelytraveller127 and Tintintheegg 2
