SeaLou Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Hi @emmadlemma good luck! Heard from anything from Indiana or UCSD?

This won't happen until March. Latest March 9th. Thanks for doing that. Seems quite odd that a person would either a.) lie that they got a call for interview or b.) lie about hearing from a friend who says they got a call for an interview. Either way, I’ll take horse’s mouth and appreciate you calling. Edited February 28, 2018 by TBA1982
Owlcake Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I think it was an energy of miscommunication. One department gets confused with another.
Zebras4Ever Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Had my interview with Northwestern, it was very short - about 13 minutes. For anyone who interviews in the future, they asked me I think 3 questions - (paraphrasing) who I am as a writer, what inspired me to write my writing sample, what piece of writing lately has inspired me. Then I got to ask a few questions. They said they would make decisions soon after interviewing all finalists. I agree with the previous poster who interviewed at Northwestern a few years ago - I left the interview feeling unconfident about my chances. For anyone who applied to CSU-LA, they contacted their finalists for interviews today. Anyone else heard any news? It's so quiet - I feel like by March there's usually more info.
Zebras4Ever Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Oh, and in case anyone gets confused on who I am, I just changed my screen name on this forum because I realized it was too similar to my Skype name, and I used that to interview for programs...

Zebras4Ever Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Ah darn Hunter was a top choice for me too but no interview request so guess I’m out of the running there. Congrats @TBA1982 ! Hope you get it. Anyone heard anything from Ohio or Boston yet?
Zebras4Ever Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I got an email from Arizona State today saying I was accepted. I didn't get interviewed or anything beforehand! They said I'll hear about potential TA-ship/funding by the end of the month. No word from Northwestern since my interview, so I'm guessing I wasn't accepted there.

I did my undergrad at Arizona State and have fond memories. Congrats!

Was there anything said in the email that would lead you to think all the other acceptance letters were sent?
Zebras4Ever Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 @LordQuas Hmm...I really can't tell either way. It was a personal email from a professor telling me I'd been accepted and some next steps for me, no info on anyone else accepted. I don't know how many people get accepted into the program - do you know if they have a big yearly cohort or is it small? Sorry I can't help more. @TBA1982 Were you in the ASU theater department as an undergrad? If so, what was your experience like? Did you interact with grad students much? Do you have an idea of how many dramatic writing grad students there are? LordQuas 1
M96Writ Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) I have applied to NYU, UCLA, Fordham, Columbia, and Yale. I have only received a rejection from Yale in mid-February stating they only accept three applicants. Anyone hear from NYU? Edited March 5, 2018 by M96Writ

My interaction with grad students was limited to production or in upper-level theatre elective courses. I don't remember how many playwriting students there were. A handful, not many. The professors I worked with were very generous and supportive. I'm still friends with several of them to this day. Tempe is a vibrant place and has only grown since I left. Also, ASU is an enormous university with over 70K enrolled.

NYer Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 detroitatheart I had an NYU interview last week and have not heard anything
LordQuas Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 @Zebras4Ever Hey this may be stepping a little out of bounds, but what do you think the chances are that you go to Arizona? I ask because I just got waitlisted there haha. Do not feel obligated to answer that.
faro555 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Waitlisted at Michner. Hope there are some folks getting good news today! Anyone heard from UT Theater and Dance? SeaLou 1
Zebras4Ever Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 @LordQuas No worries, I know the feeling. So far itʻs where Iʻve been accepted, so Iʻm pretty sure Iʻll go (gotta figure out funding, etc.). If I get in someplace else, Iʻll have to decide which program is best for me. Iʻm still waiting to hear from some schools, so itʻs up in the air for the next few weeks. I donʻt know how many students ASU accepted this year, but I talked to a current student who said itʻs usually 1-3, so there might be someone else accepted who doesnʻt end up going. LordQuas 1
LordQuas Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Does anyone have a list of schools that are fully funded? I can't really seem to find one online.
