markish17 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hi everyone! This is my second round of PhD applications for Theatre and Performance Studies (first was in 2022.) Wondering if there's anyone out there lurking too, and started getting some good news this week! I will be interviewing on zoom with the faculty at Tufts tomorrow (1/26) and this morning I received my first acceptance from the Ohio State University! Happy to commiserate, communicate, or even collaborate with folks on this track with me! Let's chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalenbobalen Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I literally JUST submitted my app for MA/PhD Theatre and Performance Studies at UBuffalo!! I've been stopping and starting my apps since 2021 and this is the first time I've actually finished applying. Screaming, crying, throwing up, obsessively checking my email, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjm98 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hello! I also received an acceptance at Ohio State's PhD on Thursday (congrats!) I also applied to Tufts, Northwestern IPTD, and Cornell Performing and Media Arts. Haven't heard from any of the others yet. I'm assuming it's a no-go for Tufts for me if interview requests have already gone out. Has anyone heard from any of those schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsb144 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I applied to TAPS programs and to English programs. For Theatre, I applied to Columbia and Tufts. I just got an interview invite for Columbia which is very cool. But I haven't heard back from any other program, including Tufts. So I'm kind of worried that Columbia is my only hope.

markish17 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 I should mention I'm also waiting to hear back from University of Maryland, College Park and University of Pittsburgh! Those apps both went in mid-January so I think it could definitely be a bit longer wait, but the wait is still killing me 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comically_mischievous Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I had an interview with UT Austin “Performance as public practice” on Jan 23, and in the same day got a rejection from UC Berkeley’s theater performance and dance program. Still waiting to hear back from Northwestern, UCLA, and UC Riverside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychedelicate923 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Hi, I have been lurking as I was too nervous to post and the waiting was making my thoughts all wonky-- Found out today I have been accepted to CUNY Theatre & Performance PhD. I am sobbing with relief, gratitude and excitement. There wasn't an email to check the portal, I just checked the portal as I have been doing obsessively. How is everyone doing?

Btbthuan Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Hi all. Thank you @markish17 for creating this topic, and congratulations on the acceptance to Maryland! I also submitted to Maryland this cycle, and guess what, I’m still waiting for the result. Given that you have been accepted, it seems that I am in the waitlist now, hopefully? Or maybe they just forgot to send me the rejection 😭 anyway, still finger crossed. I got acceptance from KU, btw, but the funding is till being figured out.
