QuirkyDirector Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 @UnrulyMopThey told me awhile from the date of my interview. Mid February, if I remember correctly from what Caden told me. Is it really possible that NONE of us 7 or 8 got a Yale callback? I'm pretty surprised, I figured that one of us would get one, just based on the math of it all. Not even necessarily me (I sort of figure I'm a longshot because of my age), but one of us at least. If so, I'm sorry for us all.
voldy24601 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 @QuirkyDirector I was just thinking the same thing. I thought number wise at least one of us would have heard from them. Part of me is hoping that they are just running behind, but with the interviews being just a week away I realize that is unlikely. It might be time for me to be sad about Yale for a day or two and then move on. Welp. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
mwatt Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 @bluebane Happy birthday! I hope it was a wonderful day regardless of the grad school stress! and @UnrulyMop I am pretty sure Caden Manson said to expect radio silence until the very end of February. So I would say there is still hope there.
mwatt Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 @bluebane did you already get you BU application sent out? and did you include photos?
mr.taco Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Any of you DePaul finalists want to share a hotel room on the evening of the 19th and/or 20th and save some money? I changed my handle because bluebane told me I should be a little more opaque on here but I've been around and active from the beginning. So mysterious...
Directorial Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) @mr.taco Thanks for the offer but I'm actually housesitting for a friend in Chicago that weekend. Lucked into free lodging. Sorry to hear about everybody's Yale troubles. Edited February 16, 2016 by Directorial
UnrulyMop Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @mr.taco I'm staying with friends too! But am looking forward to seeing you guys there!
bluebane Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) @mr.taco -- I know how much you like your luxury hotels, but "Getaway Hostel Chicago" is totally decent for one night... and it's $23.00, and it's a five minute walk from the DePaul campus. @mwatt -- I missed the deadline for Boston. My fault for getting bogged down in everything. It's tricky too because their timing is so difficult with the timing of everyone else -- if I were to get in anywhere else, I'd have to make a decision before I even interviewed with Boston. The program sounds amazing, though -- I'll probably regret not giving it a shot. Edited February 16, 2016 by bluebane
mwatt Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @bluebane Yeah their timing is a bit of a mess- I totally hear that. But the deadline is tomorrow I am finishing up my application right now. Last round of spell check.
mr.taco Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @bluebane Oh shit, yes. I will do the HOSTEL. Good idea, my savior.
bluebane Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @mwatt - I'm getting confused: this page says Feb 15, which was yesterday: http://www.bu.edu/cfa/admissions/school-of-theatre/graduate/directing/ But this page says tomorrow: http://www.bu.edu/cfa/admissions/school-of-theatre/graduate/graduate-application-instructions/ So if it's tomorrow, I'll still try to get it done... do you have to mail in anything physical, or can it all be done online?
mwatt Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @bluebane yeah their website was really freaking me out. But on my online application it says it most be submitted by the 2/17/16. ( either way I feel like they have to accept apps by the latest date they published). It can all be done online. Transcript are the only thing - I know need to be sent form your undergrad school directly to BU and in my case my undergrad is still only snail mail with that stuff.
bluebane Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 @mwatt Awesome! You just resurrected my application. Thanks!
mr.taco Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Rejected from brown via email announcing my application status had changed. Good luck to you all!
Directorial Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Not that I'm stressing or anything, but has anybody heard from New School at all? When do they send requests, historically?
Adamexcess Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Still worth applying to BU methinks, had a similar issues with one of my schools re: conflicting deadlines and the later one was the actual deadline. Got the official Brown rejection letter today. No word from Yale tho....
bluebane Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Sorry about Brown, @Adamexcess. At least the waiting is over. I threw together the last few pieces and applied to BU. One more prospect sounds pretty good right about now!
voldy24601 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 @bluebane So if I've not heard from Indiana about the Skype interview, should I assume that is a no-go?
QuirkyDirector Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Yale has now officially confirmed I did not make the final callbacks. I imagine that if you definitely did not make it, you'll hear soon via the Yale website.
bluebane Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) @voldy24601, I wouldn't assume that yet. I think they only checked in with me because they were missing a piece of info. If you don't hear from them by Friday, I'd send an email to check-in. @QuirkyDirector: Yup, looks like Yale rejections went out. I didn't get an email, just checked the website. Edited February 17, 2016 by bluebane
UnrulyMop Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 So sorry to hear about all the Yale rejections everybody, got mine waaaay back, no interview this year. But on the good news front, got a callback for Washington! Fingers crossed! It's going to be a busy couple weeks. Can't wait for a good glass of wine when this is all done.
SpiderFromMars Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 @Directorial, I don't know if they're still contacting people, but I got a call to schedule an interview with the New School last week. Has anyone heard anything from UCLA?
mr.taco Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Rejected from Yale. Heading to DePaul tomorrow: I'm 9-1 on Saturday. Anyone know how many DePaul finalists there are overall? Hope to see some of you...message me your real person name =). I'll be attending the dinner and show with my sister on Saturday evening. I'm also heading to Ohio this coming week to check out some classes, rehearsals, and performances...anyone finalist-ing there this year? Columbia's finalist weekend was super fun and grueling. It's pretty invigorating to be in room with a shit ton of directors for a weekend... like a retreat...but with high stakes and no sleep.
bluebane Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 @voldy24601, when is your Northwestern interview? So bummed I didn't hear from them.
