Zebras4Ever Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hey all, I was wondering if anyone on here had heard from UT Austin / Michener yet. In the past it looks like they notified finalists at the beginning of Feb. so I assume they’ve picked people already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esbrain Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 First time posting this cycle so congrats to everyone for getting up the courage/material/willpower to apply! We are all the next generation of American playwrights (except those of us who aren't american) and I'm proud to be in community with all of you (even if it's a weird digital community) Wanted to ask if folks knew wether or not Juilliard does interviews? I'm pretty sure the other two I applied to (Hunter and Brooklyn) don't so I'm just playing the waiting game lol. tomlette, thefates and star_dusty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Hunter does do interviews based on reading back on this long and winding thread but, as you say, Brooklyn does not. But this is my first cycle so others will know more. esbrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starpants Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Juilliard does do interviews. They generally get to a list of like 18 semifinalists that they interview, mostly to see whether you're a cool person or not. This generally happens around April-May I believe. Then they pick around 12 finalists and send their plays to the heads of the program David Lindsay-Abaire and Tanya Barfield to read. Then pick around 4-5 people for the program (although it's only been 4 for the last several years). tomlette, thefates, esbrain and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it looks like they're really behind this year. I know they just started discussing applications last weekend, meanwhile I found out I was accepted a year ago this week. I'll try to find out next week what's up! Mel Rose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seasickmermaid Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Got accepted to The New School this morning and also just got a rejection status update from Yale. I was totally expecting to be rejected from Yale because my application for them was a mess, but I'm curious because in the letter they said they encourage me to apply again after gaining more professional experience. Just wondering if they tell that to everyone they don't accept or if it genuinely means I need more professional experience. Would love to know if anyone else got that update from Yale today! Also congrats everyone on the interviews! Mel Rose, thefates, tomlette and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWantToWrite Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hey y’all! I’ve been accepted to two programs so far (Hollins and the Savannah College of Art and Design) but I’m really holding out to hear from Brown and Brooklyn College. Has anyone heard back from them? I’m very panicky and worried about being ghosted since this is my first time applying for grad school and everything feels new and unsure! thefates, tomlette and Agez 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy Drew Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hey everyone! I just had my interview with Northwestern so thought I'd give everyone else a heads up about what to expect! It was just the four core faculty members, they were super friendly and chill and had all read my sample and essay. They asked about how I think about myself as a writer, how I'd work in a cohort/give feedback, and what kind of shows/plays/movies I've seen that I liked or disliked based on how I see myself as an artist. I asked them two questions and that was it! It was about 20 minutes. Good luck everyone!!! tomlette and thefates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefates Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 @JustWantToWrite I haven't heard from Brooklyn either...based on last year it seems like maybe mid March or a bit later for them Congrats to those with acceptances & interviews under their belts, or to come.

Mel Rose Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) Congrats all! Had my interview with Carnegie Mellon and also got the NYU interview request this week @seasickmermaid I also got the Yale rejection with the same wording so I'm assuming it's generic? Weird wording. Has anyone heard from Hunter yet? Edited February 24, 2022 by Mel Rose thefates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebras4Ever Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Just chiming in to say I haven't heard from Brown either, or UT-Austin. I'm assuming UT-Austin has already interviewed people, based on timeline reports from previous years. But Brown seems to contact people in mid-to-late February, so maybe they are running behind this year? Or I'm just wishful thinking ? thefates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I interviewed with NYU last year as well. I think it can vary greatly based on who you are interviewing with, but it is very much a split of them interviewing you AND you interviewing them, so don't be afraid to ask questions! I don't know how heavily the interviews are actually weighted in terms of admission, as some of the faculty interviewers have mentioned they are not on the admission committee, but nonetheless, I had great conversation last year and learned a lot about the program. It feels very much about trying to see if the program is a match for what you are hoping to get out of grad school, and making sure those goals are aligned. Hope this helps! seasickmermaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandringham Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just wanted to let everyone know that here at Hunter, Christine is still deep in application reading, so interview requests haven’t gone out yet! Hope that helps ease some of the anxiety. Sending out good vibes to all!! tomlette, thefates, Mel Rose and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
