jamesprongs101 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 @Boxedwine actually my interview is Friday, thought it was Thurs. Going up tonight with my friend so I can spend the day exploring New Haven a bit before the Welcome Party. THANKS FOR THE ANNE TIP!!! She was added at the end. Sneaky. And I'm with you vis a vis the politics of an all male cohort, although I would hope they would create a density of inclusion in that formulation if that were the route they are exploring but again these are the mumblings of a mad person doing shady mathematical equations.

Boxedwine Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 @jamesprongs101 Hahaha. I'm currently on the longest shuttle ride of my life. I'm gonna be late to the meet and greet which is driving me crazy. If you're down to force some socialization, I'd meet up when you and your buddy get in. If it's not too late, that is. But no worries either way. Good luck on your interview and exploration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaLou Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Best of luck you guys. You'll have to tell us all about it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Walter Before Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I can't imagine that they would choose an all male cohort in the age of Kilroys and The Count and everything that's been going on. That said, I identify mostly male and certainly present male so who knows... Also, I feel like if they have had a class that's all female, they can't possibly care too obsessively about balance, so the idea of them rebalancing the other way seems weird. I really really want to get in, but I would hate to think I'm taking a more qualified woman's spot. Also, did you both get the email from James Bundy? That seemed super weird and out of the blue.

jamesprongs101 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Damn @Boxedwine we will get in at like 1:30, so I doubt we will see each other. And yeah @The Walter Before the email was weird, I had heard from a Yale friend a while ago and thought they were just going to gracefully mention it at the interview but...idk. Excited that someone who's read and liked our plays works at the Public now though. That's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alikat Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 For those waiting on Brown, over at draft it's been discussed (per a call to the university) that fiction will have results by Monday. Hoping we're in the same boat!! LettucePray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaLou Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Got my rejection from Brown. Oh well. Still waiting on other schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrb0192 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Got the brown rejection! Not surprised, but I was hoping for a less formulaic letter. Good luck, everyone! Edited March 3, 2016 by lrb0192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alikat Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Same here. Was everyone's letter from Peter M. Weber instead of Erik Ehn this year? I'm curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaLou Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah, mine was. Very short compared to Erik's last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebras4Ever Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Mine was from Weber too. Has anyone heard from Ohio, Iowa, or Brooklyn? I'm assuming they've already sent out interview notices to finalists, since I think in the past they'd picked them by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaLou Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Haven't heard from Ohio or Iowa, either. Still waiting on UCLA and Indiana as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxedwine Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 That letter from Brown was disappointing considering what people said had happened previous years. My interview at Yale was fun. They said they'd make decisions next week. Ten people are interviewing. Nail biting has commenced. Still waiting to hear from Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newengland1 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I haven't heard anything from Brooklyn, Ohio, Rutgers (but just submitted Tues.), or Juilliard (obvi). Waiting for word from NYU post-interview, and CMU, after they requested a second script. Such limbo. Anyone have tips on how not to check email every fifteen minutes?

SeaLou Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Just got a mass email from Erik Ehn. Much more thorough and generous than the rejection from the application site. newengland1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpineOfTheSnowman Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hey friends! I only applied to Yale, UCSD, and UT Austin (both Michener and Theater & Dance). I'm assuming, since interviews for all three seemed to have already taken place, that I didn't get in. But I haven't gotten a rejection from anyone except Michener yet. Is that normal? Anyone else in the same boat? Congrats to all who've had success! My fingers are crossed for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnp809 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi SpineOfTheSnowman, I'm in the same boat with not hearing back from Yale or UT Austin, but both are almost certainly rejections. I know Yale interviews everyone who is a finalist and the interviews are happening this week. I believe Austin follows a similar protocol and interviewees have already been contacted according to this forum. Best wishes to you and remember most people apply multiple years before they get in!

jamesprongs101 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I also had a really great time at Yale. Really happy about how my interview went so now it's just time to wait I guess. Crossing fingers for everyone else who was there. The only thing I can say about ways to not check emails @newengland1 is find a new show to watch (I recommend Sense8 or Utopia [UK]) or find some great porn...? Idk. All I know about Brooklyn is that two weeks ago when I saw the new Clare Barron show Mac Wellman was sitting beside me and I accosted him. He told me they were only about halfway through reading. Hope that helps alleviate some stress. Thought I had mentioned it but maybe i didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesprongs101 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hey guys!! Yale sent out an email that we have to wait two more days...which sucks, but i just found out I'm in at BK. Which is really awesome! I'm going somewhere next year. It's such an anxiety reliever. SeaLou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
