GunningForGrad Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I haven't received the formal email with information but Tracee is working with my schedule and said she would place me in the morning slot. I will literally be in the city just long enough to interview.
AgentMike Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Just found this thread, so glad to commiserate! I was pretty bummed to get the depaul and yale rejections on the same day yesterday. I'm crossing my fingers really hard for Northwestern. I've got UCLA and Brown so far. Waiting on NW and New School. Good luck!
GunningForGrad Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Welcome @AgentMike! Sorry to hear about Yale and DePaul; it's always a punch to the gut. Hope good news becomes your friend in the coming days! When is your Brown interview?
AgentMike Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks @GunningForGrad! I'm going to San Fran for Brown Feb 9 or 10
GunningForGrad Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Good luck! I'll be rooting for you. I'm going to Rhode Island for mine on Feb. 13!
Loose.tap.screws Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Welcome @AgentMike! I also got my Yale rejection last night... Because of this forum I was prepared for the inevitable, but it's still a bummer. My goal for this process (well, besides an offer) was to just get interviews with the badass woman who run the American Theatre: Anna Shapiro, Anne Bogart, Susan Schulman, and Liz Diamond. Hahah
GunningForGrad Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Solid goal @Loose.tap.screws! I would love a chance to pick the brains of all of those ladies. Sounds like you're kicking butt in the interview department, though!
GunningForGrad Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Does anyone else feel like they spend all of their time refreshing their email? Even long after office hours have come and gone and there's no reason to think you'll hear anything that day? KillerWingfield 1
JamesBrown Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Hi All! Congrats to everyone who's gotten a call! I just found the forum and it's very helpful. I applied to Yale, Northwestern, UCSD, and Virginia Tech. Has anyone else applied to VT? Apparently they've been having crazy server issues, and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered that. (Also I got my Yale interview call on January 6th - for those who were asking) Thanks!
GunningForGrad Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Congrats @JamesBrown! Where and when is your interview for Yale? I didn't apply to VT so I'm no help. Are you just waiting on them and UCSD now?
Tintintheegg Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Congrats all on interviews. i'm returning to work. more prep for projects i'm interested in to keep my mind off the emails ;). did anyone else apply to BU? i'm curious about their timeline on interviews since the app due date was 1/15.
GunningForGrad Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Dude, I am TRYING not to focus on emails! I'm working on four shows right now and have my day job. You think that would be enough to keep me occupied....but I just keep clicking refresh! ?
JamesBrown Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 @GunningForGrad I interview at Yale on the 27th. I'm still waiting on VT, UCSD and Northwestern. Unless other people have heard from Northwestern and I just missed it.
GunningForGrad Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 @JamesBrown I haven't seen anything in this forum about Northwestern, so chances are apps are still under review. Not sure though. Northwestern was in my list but I took them out as I started to whittle down where to apply to. Now hearing about all of the programs where people have applied makes me wonder if I should have applied to more places! It's just so expensive and takes so much time.
JamesBrown Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 @GunningForGrad How many did you apply to? I only applied to 4, which was cutting down from my original list of 8.
AgentMike Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 @JamesBrown according to last year's thread the first person to say they heard from Northwester was Feb 11. I know this because I'm now fully obsessed and went through their whole thread.
steffybolt Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I had a problem I had to resolve with my northwestern transcript a few weeks ago and they said it would be a while before they announced interviews... So do not stress yet, friends

I got my DePaul finalist interview invitation today!! Yay congratulations! I actually heard from a friend that a few years ago he got a call from DePaul for an interview on the same day he got INTO northwestern... So not all schools are on one timeline!
GunningForGrad Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 @JamesBrown I applied to four as well. Right now UCSD is what I'm waiting on since I won't hear anything else until after my interviews with the other three. Someone I've spoken to applied to SEVEN and I just couldn't even imagine. @steffybolt I wish I could meet up with you! I need to go back and do some really close reading of the script for the directing portion of the interview. Definitely looking forward to the experience!
Loose.tap.screws Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Yeah, NU won't be making any decisions until next month regarding interviews and cuts. Elizabeth contacted me regarding one of my recommendations not being able to open and she wanted to know if I could have the recommendor email it directly to them. That's when she mentioned it'll be a while before decisions are made. I ended up applying to eight schools.... My original six became eight when I decided last minute to go ahead and apply to DePaul and UT Austin. If I go through this process again next year, I will absolutely cut back on the amount of programs I apply for.
GunningForGrad Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 @Loose.tap.screws I admire your ability to apply to that many programs and not lose your mind! I was always under the wire on deadlines for my apps.
Tintintheegg Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 @Loose.tap.screws Did you end up applying to BU this year? BSBDirector 1
