SeaLou Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Oh hey everyone. Congrats to @faro555 for your interviews. That's awesome. I applied to UCSD, USC, Brooklyn, Indiana and Texas State. I have an offer at Texas State, but am torn about waiting or not. Their program is growing and I know they have a good theatre program overall (their BFAs are great, I think their MFA in directing is gaining traction, etc), but you know, it's not any of the other schools I applied for. Any thoughts or opinions on the program? Oh, I'm in Austin, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsMono Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 So Yale has started to update the application status cuz I just got a rejection letter from them. I didn't expect much but still, it was a little sad that the first response I got for this application season is a rejection letter at such an early stage. @SeaLou I really think you should wait a little bit more because it is still so early and who knows what will happen next month. Anyway, good luck to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrarium3528 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) @JsMono I'm so sorry to hear that. Did you get a letter in the mail, or via email? Edited February 15, 2018 by terrarium3528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsMono Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 @terrarium3528 I got an email saying the status of the application was updated, and went to the application profile and found the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faro555 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hmmmm my Yale status still says "submitted." Did anyone's ever change to "under review" at some point? I just checked since folks are getting rejections...I had some weird issues with my application and now I'm wondering if it ever even got reviewed. Lol.

Zebras4Ever Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi all! I was on this forum back in 2016, but I didn't apply last year so I haven't visited in a while. I decided to try again this year, applied to 10 schools. I decided to skip Yale and Brown all together because I think I just have no chance there. Instead I applied to a smattering of well-known and not as well-known places - Ohio, Iowa, Hunter, Northwestern, Boston, UCSD, Temple, Arizona State, Arkansas, and CSU-LA (but I am having some application issues with that one) So far I've been asked to do a short 10 minute interview with Northwestern and haven't heard from any other schools. Anyone lurking who's had experience interviewing at Northwestern and can tell me what it's like? I saw some old posts from @esfg1 who seems to have had an interview there. I see UCSD is already interviewing, so I'm guessing I'm not in the running there. Good luck everyone! It seems a quieter board this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faro555 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @Draconianmoon Nice! I don't know much about Northwestern, but good luck. Let us know how the interview goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detroitatheart Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hey y'all! Long time lurker first time poster. I didn't apply to many programs this year, just NYU and a new low-residency TV writing program through Stephens College. I was accepted to Stephens which I'm very excited about, but just heard word that NYU wants to set up a 20-minute Skype interview. Anyone had an interview with NYU before and know what to expect?

Yep. I applied to NYU two years ago and am a current student. I think I posted about it around late February 2016 but happy to answer any questions. Who is your interview with?

No one has been notified yet of interviews. This won't happen until March. Latest March 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
