Strictly MFA Dramaturgy

[dramaturginagony]

To my knowledge, there are only 5 MFA Dramaturgy programs in the United States:

Yale
Columbia
UMass Amherst
UIowa
Indiana U Bloomington (this uni's application doesn't close until 1 April)

What schools have you all heard from already? UMass and UIowa have been dead silent on my end.

Yale had interviews last week.

applied to all of these as well and have heard nothing as well! Will keep updated! What’s the source on yale doing interviews last week? we’re you involved in one? when were you contacted about an interview? trying to figure out these timelines :/

@CoronaBorealisYale sent out interview requests on the 2nd of Feb, I think? Haven't heard anything from Columbia, UMass, or UIowa. Did however get an email by accident from Indiana today where they were validating my degrees (they're foreign), but it was meant for internal use only. Happy to know they've at least seen my application lololol

Hey y’all! checking in to see if anyone has updated from Umass or Iowa? Has anyone heard anything? interview requests? admissions emails? anything?

I’ve not heard anything. Both uni’s were on Spring Break last week, though - they get back tomorrow on Monday. It’s hopeful we’ll hear something in the next coming days. Annnnd if not? Then I’m completely unsure what the hold up is 😂
