I applied to Iowa, but haven’t heard any updates yet. Judging by last year’s timeline, there may be a little more time (looks like interviews/offers began in March in 2020).

yoinky Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 In the interest of crowdsourcing info: someone on the MFA Draft '21 Facebook page reported an acceptance to UC Riverside's playwriting program today. I didn't apply there but thought it might be useful knowledge in case someone here did. Best of luck to those with upcoming interviews as well as those still waiting on more schools!!

Awww, haha, sweet of him to inquire after us, hi @broccolini's dad! Oh, thank you for asking! I did end up accepting! The relief was very welcome. I just spoke with the other incoming playwright for a little Zoom meet up which was nice lol I also got my person email from Hunter, but I let them know I had already accepted so hopefully that opens up an interview spot! I'll starting to realize how differently timed all these programs are when it comes to responses and such yoinky, seasickmermaid, Strelka and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c.k.thompson.playwright Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 How is everyone doing? Of the 10 schools I applied to, I have only heard one update which was a rejection from CMU - no other rejections/interviews anything. I'm hoping that's normal....

TrailMix Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Longtime lurker who has appreciated the process-related transparency y'all have provided ❤️ Don't know if anyone else applied to the MFA at Royal Central School of Speech & Drama (London), but wanted to share that I applied in early December and was told I would have a decision within 4 weeks -- that hasn't happened. I attended an information session at the beginning of February and they said it might be up to another two months before we hear back. Happy to provide more deets on my application to this program if anyone else has applied. Also applied to UT Austin, UCSD, Iowa, NYU, and Brown -- haven't heard a peep from any of those folks.

I applied to NYU, Brown, and UCSD as well we have a lot of overlap! TrailMix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddiebarr Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I haven't heard anything from them either-- I am guessing if I didn't hear about an interview it's probably a no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Rose Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Just received an interview request from NYU via email! (for all those following NYU's Dramatic Writing) Looks like last year's requests came out in batches throughout the last week of Feb, so keep an eye out! cheesy, seasickmermaid, TrailMix and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYU will literally send out requests up to two weeks apart. I think it has a lot to do with individual interviewer availability. Right now, anything can happen. It's just still a awaiting game. seasickmermaid, cheesy and jm249023 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantinoverse Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 mega-creepy lurker here - had an interview with Brown early this morning. just wanted to let folks know, but don't give up hope! schools might be doing rolling meetings, have some other admissions delays, etc., who knows? i literally thought i was rejected until i got the email! jm249023, nickelmoop, sandringham and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
