Sarah1010 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hey all! Just wondered if there was anyone in the same boat as I am, after finishing applications for various Performance Studies graduate programs, and is freaking out! Did anyone apply to the Columbia Theatre and Performance Studies Program? That's my dream program but it must be crazy difficult to get in....where else did folks apply?

Zinfandel Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hey! I applied to Columbia's program too! I wonder if they've started sending out requests for interviews—kinda bummed since requests have historically gone out as early as Jan 5. I'm staying hopeful for the time being. A few more days and I'll be forced to come to terms with a rejection (it's all so competitive!). I also applied to the PS programs at Northwestern, Brown, UChicago (via CMS), and am putting the finishing touches on my Tufts app. What about you?

Sarah1010 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I'm still crossing my fingers for Columbia, though I know how incredibly competitive that program is! Good to know that though so I'm not waiting weeks hoping for an interview slot! I applied to York University in Toronto, Tufts, and NYU, though I've been warned that the cost of NYU's MA program is crazy. Thought it was worth applying though, as I've also heard that NYU pulls mainly from its MA pool for its PhD program and that program is incredible. Ugh the waiting is so stressful and it's only been a couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinfandel Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) From personal experience, the NYU program is truly amazing, and any chance of increasing your odds for their PhD is worth taking! They told me that there's some financial support available for MA students—up to (on very rare occasions) full tuition support, and a variety of other, partial scholarships. I bet the costs still spiral (NYC livin'), so I just couldn't bring myself to apply. Hope you get in though :)) And good luck for all your other apps—they're all such great schools! Now I'm back to stressing... every day of waiting feels like a week. Edit: I just heard back from Columbia and their list of interviews will only be determined near the end of the month.

mcminnie Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I'm apply for PhD programs, but all west coast schools...if their deadline is 12/5 why is their hear by date end of March?? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah1010 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 From what I've heard of the process, if you make the interview stage you'll hear much earlier! There's at least one or two rounds of interviews for PhD programs. March is when they start sending the acceptance/rejection letters. Is I think how it works! Which west coast schools? Berkeley has an incredible program! mcminnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaishnavi05 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hey! Same, got my first rejection from Berkeley. I have applied to Northwestern PS, Tufts, Brown, Cornell, Stanford, Minnesota as well. Waiting is not nice at all. Has anyone heard from Stanford yet? Any idea by when will they reach out, if selected for interviews? All the best to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSY2 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) hi y’all! just wanted to write that I’ve received invitations to interview within the next week for Stanford and Brown TAPS. I’ve gone through this graduate process before, so I know how unsettling it is waiting for months without any communication—thought I’d let everyone know where those schools are at in the admission process. where else are people waiting to hear from?

mcminnie Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Still waiting on CU, UCSD, UCSB, and UW, but UW deadline is February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah1010 Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hey guys! Anyone else hear from schools? Haven't heard from Columbia, pretty much lost hope on that one. Congrats to PSY2 for hearing from Stanford and Brown, that's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinfandel Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Got my rejection from Brown today. A nice message, but it stings. Congrats to PSY2! I'm still waiting on all my other schools, but I think that's a good sign I haven't made it to the interview stage. A part of me is still hopeful, but another is already planning for next year's cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookmark3 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, sympathies to everyone waiting to hear back, or not hearing such great news - I hear ya! Congrats to all the interviews and acceptances! Just wanted to add that I received an invitation to the recruitment weekend (online) at Northwestern back on January 31. It's not until the end of this month. My understanding is that NYU usually gets back to everyone at once, around mid March. The internal applications are only due today, so I think they don't start reviewing those until after this weekend.

CHP47 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Just checking in to see if people have heard anything more from TAPS programs. I applied to both history and TAPS programs (my interest is 19th century American popular performance) and it seems like many more history programs have already sent out decisions compared to TAPS programs.

raymo Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 @lagom_lagom That's awesome! Congratulations! Where on your CUNY app are you seeing that? Mine looks the same? I heard back from UW at the end of last week and had an interview yesterday. Still haven't heard from CUNY or Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
