MSDir Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I applied to Yale's Directing program for 2014. I was wondering if anyone else on here has applied and when we can expect to hear if we are invited to interview. Is anyone else as anxious as I am? I haven't heard from them yet but believe from past years that they usually don't notify anyone until late January regarding interviews. Would love to hear from others.

MSDir Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thank you Latte. Is this an actual question you have heard that they ask candidates? Have you applied to Yale's directing program as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSDir Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Are there any other directing applicants out there? Would love for us to share experiences with each other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Directing2014er Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I have also not heard, Decaf. Good luck to you. I will post something if I get any correspondence, whether positive or otherwise. Have you applied somewhere else, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSDir Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hi Directing2014. Good luck to you as well. I will post if and when I hear something as well. I've also applied to UMass Amherst and Illinois, but Yale is my top choice. How about you? Hopefully others will share some of their experiences with us. Have you applied elsewhere?

Directress Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have applied to Yale's MFA Directing program and have received notification of an invitation to preliminary interview. How is everyone else's process going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSDir Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 That's wonderful news! I haven't heard anything yet either way. May I ask how and when you were notified and which city you chose for the interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profmastersam Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I am re-applying. Still nothing. Got my rejection on Valentine's day last year. Good luck to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSDir Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Hi profmastersam. Did you get invited for an interview last year before your rejection? One of the posters on here said they were contacted for an interview already. I'm not sure if that is bad news for us or not. What was your experience last year and how far did you get in the process? I understand that many people who have been rejected in the past get accepted later. I wish everyone on here well. I am hoping that others post on here and also post their interviews, acceptances, rejections, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profmastersam Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I did not get an invitation last year. Still hoping that perseverance plays a part along with some good fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr022489 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I received a call on Jan 21 and interviewed that Friday. They said they had just started the interview process (I'm NYC-based, so makes sense that mine was early), and that it would probably be about 3 weeks before I heard anything else. Hope that helps! The interview process was great, everyone was super nice and casual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L13 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 A friend of mine just announced she's been accepted to this program on Facebook, but I think she got the news a couple of days ago. Just in case anyone is still looking at this thread/waiting to hear from Yale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
