alh Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 anyone get accepted to berkeley rhetoric on this forum? rumor has it they started calling folks on thursday.
Bats Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 Bats, Would you like to share about your Brown interview? Were you also asked about performance theory? Clifford is certainly lucky, but let's not lose hope. Gradually, we'll also hear from the schools. Though how gradually is a matter of debate! The interview went very well, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. We spoke in some detail about my project, including some in-depth inquiry (which I think I handled rather well) and they asked me about my interest in Brown, etc. Pretty much how Clifford described it.
Seeking Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Good Luck to both Clifford and you! Edited February 5, 2012 by Seeking
Lmo0424 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Hello all! I am one of the students who got the interview at Northwestern for their M.A./PhD Program. I received a call from the DGS on January 25th and the interview weekend is March 1st-4th. i haven't yet received any news about my itinerary yet, flight/hotel or anything like that. I know that its a little less than a month away, but how far in advance do schools usually give students that info? Edited February 5, 2012 by Lmo0424
Bats Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 I've heard that sometimes NW doesn't make the arrangements until about two weeks before the interview weekend. Good luck!
Lmo0424 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I've heard that sometimes NW doesn't make the arrangements until about two weeks before the interview weekend. Good luck! Thanks Bats! Since all I have is the call and a few emails from the DGS, I was freaking out a little. I haven't received any "official" info from the Graduate School and feel like I should have something in writing.
Seeking Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Lmo0424, Good Luck! Did you apply for Performance Studies or for Interdisciplinary Theatre and Drama program? Edited February 6, 2012 by Seeking
Lmo0424 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks, Seeking I'm really nervous/excited! I applied to the Performance Studies Program, did you apply to the Interdisciplinary Theatre and Drama program?
Seeking Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Lmo0424, Yes, I applied for IPTD and so far haven't heard from them, nor has there been a result submission from anyone for this program.
dan0075 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Has anyone on here applied to any of these schools? Know anyone who has? Heard anything back? UT Austin - Performance as Public Practice University of Pittsburgh University of Maryland University of Washington (their deadline isn't until 2/15, so I don't expect to hear from them for a while) It blows my mind that there's so little representation here from the theatre/performance studies realm... I have to say that the waiting is more maddening than I anticipated!
Lmo0424 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Lmo0424, Yes, I applied for IPTD and so far haven't heard from them, nor has there been a result submission from anyone for this program. AH! Best of luck to you!
alr234 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hi, I saw on the site that people had been accepted and rejected by website at UCSB and Berkeley. I applied at both those universities, but don't know how to check. Could someone help me out? Thank you
Seeking Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks Lmo0424, but I'm really worried about this. Let's hope we'll hear soon from IPTD. Alr234, Good luck to you! Edited February 7, 2012 by Seeking
oceanflow Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hello, I am also wondering about UC Berkeley's Theatre and Performance Studies program. I contacted them and heard from the administrator that the final admission results are to come out late March.
salvatura Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) OK, I have been lurking but I will finally post, as I am starting to get a little impatient myself. I have also applied to U Pitt and University of Maryland and REALLY would like to hear from them. Here is my list: Northwestern (Performance Studies) - Rejected Brown - Have not received an interview request so just basically waiting for rejection University of Pittsburgh - waiting for anything University of Maryland - WAITING and REALLY hoping! University of Minnesota - did a campus visit in December and interviewed but it has been silent since so assuming rejection Bowling Green State University - lots of contact with POI and they are paying me to visit February 15-18. My only hope so far. Day by day, I am resolving myself to having only 1 possible acceptance, which bums me out because my research project is original, comprehensive, and met with several theoretical questions of my own that I want to be able to better answer through coursework. I think my only downfall is that I have an MFA instead of an MA and my GRE scores were not high. However, I am a full-time college instructor and a faculty advisor to two student organizations on top of directing three shows a year. It was impossible to study. Bummer.

alr234 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I haven't heard anything from anyone yet, and many people seem to have received some feedback from the universities I applied to (or so the survey says). Could that mean I'm waitlisted ? I'm an international student and don't understand this system at all...
Seeking Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Let's hope and wish and pray that we all hear from somewhere at least!
appseasonover Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Has anyone on here applied to any of these schools? Know anyone who has? Heard anything back? UT Austin - Performance as Public Practice University of Pittsburgh University of Maryland University of Washington (their deadline isn't until 2/15, so I don't expect to hear from them for a while) It blows my mind that there's so little representation here from the theatre/performance studies realm... I have to say that the waiting is more maddening than I anticipated! I applied to the UT-Austin, Performance as Public Practice program, but I haven't heard anything. I did see something today that was posted on February 6th -- someone was rejected via email. But I haven't heard anything... maybe no news is good news or maybe they're just shortening the list round-by-round?? I'm really hopeful for the program. I also applied to UC-Davis, Performance Studies and NYU, Performance Studies. Anyone heard anything from UC-Davis? I know NYU won't be for another month. Best of luck!
appseasonover Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I'm so glad this thread exists! I applied to American Studies and Gender Studies programs (in addition to the 3 performance studies programs i mentioned in an earlier post) as well because my research is situated somewhere in the midst of the three. But secretly, I'm hoping for performance studies.
Seeking Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Good luck Drocket! Let's hope the silence will break soon.
appseasonover Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Good luck Drocket! Let's hope the silence will break soon. Thank you and good luck to you, as well!
Bats Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 Well, I got into Brown! --- which is unbelievable. I can stop stressing about everything else, I think... And now it's just funny to me that everyone else wants to reject me. Oy!!
salvatura Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Congrats Bats! I just got my rejection from Brown. I'm not mad. I expected it.
Aubergine Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Just got my Brown acceptance as well! My heart is still pounding....
Seeking Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Bats and Auburgine, Congrats! That's great news from both of you! Salvatura, don't lose heart. Wait for other schools' results.
