Applicant2021me Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Anyone who applied to UCLA and Northwestern not hear anything? Not even an interview request? It’s hard cause I don’t think UCLA even has a portal. But I fucked up that application tbh so I’m not expecting anything from them lol. Been waiting for the rejection since I submitted.

Small sample size but, this would lead one to believe it wasn't your application... unless we both fucked it up :), quite possible.

That program seems amazing!!!! 2 hours ago, broccolini said: @sandringhamYes, congrats!!! You must be so thrilled hope you're celebrating Thanks friends!!! It feels amazing to have been accepted into a program, and from what I can tell (from thousands of miles away), Hunter's seems like a really good fit for me. The reality of moving to NYC and starting grad school in the fall is starting to set in, which is its own scariness, but I'm trying to celebrate this victory now and not worry too much about the future. I will say that the more research that I do and the more current and graduated MFA students that I talk to, the more I get the sense that while it's a wonderful boost to artistic and career development, an MFA in Playwriting really isn't the end all and be all, and doesn't make or break anyone. All's to say that I know everyone on this forum, whether they go to grad school or not this fall, will keep writing plays, developing as an artist, and frankly, will have to keep hustling. I'm grateful to share this journey with all of you and hope the rest of this application season sets us all on the right paths for ourselves! ZoraNeale2021, space94, jm249023 and 8 others 11
PlayWitch Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Omg, this wait is excruciating! broccolini, sandringham and jm249023 3

Penny Jar Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Hello all! Just wondering if anyone has heard anything from Juilliard yet?
TrailMix Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 FYI, received an interview request yesterday via email for the MFA Writing for Stage & Broadcast Media at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Looks like it's going to be a group session ("in which we will discuss the course as a group") followed by a 1 to 1. Can't remember if anyone else on this forum applied to this program but would be interested in chatting if you have! jm249023, nickelmoop and PlayWitch 3
nickelmoop Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Got my NO's from University of British Columbia in Canada & Brown. xx quarantini33 1
sns1106 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Hey everyone. I’ve been staying away from GradCafe this year bc ✨mental health✨ Just thought I’d pop in and share where I’m at in the process. This is my second year applying. Carnegie Mellon - waitlisted with no interview (I interviewed there last year and was waitlisted after) Northwestern - Interviewed on 2/26. No word yet. UCSD - Nicely rejected by Naomi Iizuka personally and received several automated rejections. Brown - Rejected Hunter - Radio silence (assuming a no) Brooklyn - Radio silence Hope everyone is hanging in there! PlayWitch, TrailMix and sandringham 3

quarantini33 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Can't believe it's March 15th and I still haven't heard from all schools.. the waiting game is tough y'all. Here's what I've got so far: USC: Rejected UCSD: Rejected UCLA: Radio Silence... Columbia: Interviewed NYU: Interviewed sandringham and jm249023 2
cheesy Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 i have also interviewed from NYU and haven't heard anything since, anyone know when they notify typically? & also on the juilliard train but that feels so far if they won't start contacting until april 15... have debated withdrawing my app but who knows.

Agez Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 LOL So after hearing nothing since I submitted, I just got into Brooklyn lol So if anyone gets on the waitlist, a spot will be opening up! ruthg, jm249023, sandringham and 5 others 8
jeepersjinkies Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Hey ya'll! I interviewed with Carnegie back in February but haven't heard yet. I just got rejected from NYU and Hunter today. Haven't heard from Brooklyn or Columbia yet. Was rejected from UCSD in February. Starting to think it'll be a "next year I get in" kind of deal which is ok with me. Onwards and upwards! PlayWitch and sandringham 2
Mel Rose Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 NYU portals have updated, for those waiting on that one! I've been waitlisted. I'm now on a small handful of waiting lists, checking my email obsessively (even though I swore I wouldn't) and slowly losing my mind, but it's all good Still hoping for some good news before the season is out! Strelka, cheesy and sandringham 3
PlayWitch Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Holy shit! I got into NYU!!!! broccolini, seasickmermaid, Strelka and 5 others 8
cheesy Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 i’m in at NYU! depending on what the financial aid package looks like, i’ll be either accepting / declining. either way, there will be a spot opening up either at UT or NYU! congrats all and to everyone still waiting on responses, sending all the good energy your way! sandringham, yoinky, Strelka and 6 others 9
Nancy Drew Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Congrats everyone!!!! I know this isn't grad school, but wondering if anyone else here applied to EST Youngblood, and if so - has anyone heard anything since that elusive e-mail back in December? PlayWitch 1
natalinal Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 congrats to everyone on here!! I received a waitlist email from Northwestern — did anyone else? It's the first year they notified waitlisted applicants, so I'm wondering/spiraling about the number as it's my top choice. holding out hope! PlayWitch, sandringham and nickelmoop 3
broccolini Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 @natalinalI was also waitlisted from Northwestern. I'm trying to view it as a win (because it is) but I honestly just feel so defeated. nickelmoop, PlayWitch and sandringham 3
