Directorial Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 @aprilcleveland I haven't heard anything from U Washington yet. On that note, anybody heard from CalArts? Now that my current production is up I'm going into full-on prep mode for DePaul. If that's the only interview I get, so be it, and I want to make the most of it. @UnrulyMop, I suppose I will see you there! You auditioning on the 20th?

UnrulyMop Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 @Directorial and @aprilcleveland I heard from both CalArts and U Washington, interviewed with Washington in NY this week, they are apparently only interviewing ten people this year, then cutting six, and flying four out there at the end of the month. Interviewing with CalArts in LA next week. Tacked on a few days to make a tiny, and much needed vacation out of it. But yes @Directorial, it will be great to see you in Chicago. Curious how that all goes, can't believe it starts at 8am! Nothing in theatre starts that early! Where are you flying in from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Directorial Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 @unrulymop I'll be flying in the previous day from DC. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyDirector Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Got my first official rejection from Pace. Not too disappointed though, felt like a rough interview, and it was never my first choice program. At this point, waiting to hear from Yale or Carnegie Mellon for further interviews, and New School for first contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Directorial Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 @QuirkyDirector Sorry to hear about Pace! I'm still waiting on first contact from New School as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebane Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yo, @aprilcleveland and I are tearing it up in Chicago right now. Northwestern campus is AMAZING. mwatt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrulyMop Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 @Directorial I just found out I'm in the afternoon session so I'll be coming in from NYC via my family in Wisconsin that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyDirector Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I figure not because it's still fairly early in the week, but anyone hear from Yale yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directMontana Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks to the folks who turned me on to this forum. I'll be checking periodically, (okay, manically). It'll be good to make some connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyDirector Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Welcome @directMontana, I'm fairly new to these parts as well and the people here provide great information. Where have you applied to and what have you heard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directMontana Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 @QuirkyDirector I applied with Illinois State, Ohio University and Indiana University. So far have not heard anything, but it is still early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voldy24601 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Welcome @directMontana! Still no word from Yale on my end. Now URTA's are done...time to wait wait wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directMontana Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 @voldy24601 thanks! The waiting is the part I'm horrible at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Directorial Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just got the official rejection from Washington. Onward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebane Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Sorry to hear that, @Directorial! @voldy24601 and @directMontana, Robert Quinlan (ISU) said that he'd make decisions and notify by the end of February -- no final callback or campus visit, apparently. Weird! The Indiana team should be doing Skype/Phone interviews as their follow-up from the URTAs -- I believe that's going to be on February 23rd (Dale emailed me yesterday because they wanted another letter of rec). Been nervously waiting for the Yale decision, along with everyone else here... Edited February 10, 2016 by bluebane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
directMontana Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 @bluebane that's interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voldy24601 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks for the update @bluebane! Yeah, I just heard back from Illinois State (I e-mailed asking what the next step was) but I was wondering about Indiana. And this waiting on Yale is KILLING ME. It's good to know that everyone else is waiting. If I was sitting, wondering by myself, I would be going crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamexcess Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I think (sadly) it's safe to rule out Yale if we haven't heard yet. And Brown....which I had high high hopes for. bluebane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyDirector Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Very much possible, although I'd be somewhat surprised if that were true, just because I figured by law of averages at least one of us was likely to be a finalist out of 12 people, especially since about 7 or 8 of us got an interview. Will still keep an eye on it still, as I have been contacted on a Friday before by another institution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voldy24601 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yale might be out, but they did say they would be reaching out until the 12th and they called me at the 11th hour for my phone interview. Also there is like 6 of us, so surely at least one of us will get a call right? Also I just heard back from Northwestern today, they invited me to interview at their campus, but I have a show at the same time. Hope I can get it worked out. bluebane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voldy24601 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 @bluebane Did you get any details on Northwestern's financial plan when you visited? Everything that I have read is pretty nebulous. I know there is a full tuition waiver and a "partial stipend." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebane Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Today is probably our collective last chance for the Yale call... @voldy24601, thanks for letting me know about Northwestern! I guess if I don't hear from them today, that's probably a nail in the coffin there as well. I don't remember any further specifics about Northwestern's financials -- that's not a bad package for a first rate school, though. I'm hoping for a surprise birthday present today in the form of a phone call!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnrulyMop Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Has anyone heard any more from Carnegie Mellon? I can't remember when they said they would notify about second interviews. Edited February 13, 2016 by UnrulyMop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
