Quotidian Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @ubernerd Congrats on these interviews! Sorry to hear about Brown. I’d hoped you would move on and tell me about this mysterious finalist process. But it sounds like you have lots to look forward to yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubernerd Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What other places are you looking to hear from ? @Quotidian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quotidian Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 @ubernerd yep it was very personalized, which was nice. I am still waiting to hear back from Columbia (expecting a rejection as it’s probably not a perfect fit research-wise) and NYU’s MA. This is my first round applying so I expected mostly rejections from the PhD programs, but I’m glad I at least got an interview in. Where else are you waiting to hear from?

ubernerd Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I’m still in the interview process. But as of now I heard back from Northwestern IPTD, UCLA (I got interviewed and got invited to the recruitment weekend), UCI(I have an interview tomorrow). I got rejected from Maryland, Brown(as you already know), and awaiting a rejection from Berkeley (I applied but no rejection as of yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubernerd Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Bummed, appreciative and surprised with how things turned out so far. But it’s all a learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariahjewelalanis Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hey all. Sorry to hear about Brown. But I am so happy to hear they sent personalized emails. That seems to be quite rare. I am so curious to see in the fall who ends up on their website as the new students at all of these schools. Is anyone waiting to hear back from UC Davis, Stanford, or Pratt by any chance? I haven't heard a peep except for rejections from Berkeley and Northwestern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubernerd Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 No, nothing from any of these places for me cause I didn’t apply to them. @mariahjewelalanis were you notified by Berkeley to check your status or did just go on your account? Good news just came through for me this morning! I got my first official acceptance from UCLA via email! Very excited! No word on funding yet! mariahjewelalanis and Quotidian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubernerd Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I just checked my Berkeley status, I was rejected. It was posted three days ago like everyone else. Wonder why I never received a notification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrichordant Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Congrats on UCLA, @ubernerd! That's exciting news. @mariahjewelalanis I applied to UC Davis and haven't heard anything from them either. ubernerd and mariahjewelalanis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theatregrad18 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi everyone. I applied to a slew of MA/PhDs, one MA (Florida State) and one MFA (Yale). On 1/27/2018 at 2:05 PM, mariahjewelalanis said: Is anyone else waiting on UC Berkeley? I got my first rejection with the first round of UC Berkeley rejections, so I'm zero for 8 right now. It concerns me to hear about interviews...I haven't been invited for any as of yet. However, it does comfort me that there have been some people on this thread who've been rejected already from schools like Brown from whom I haven't heard anything...yet. So I guess that's good news, if I wasn't rejected with the rest. I must've moved up a round or something. This is all so anxiety-inducing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariahjewelalanis Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 @theatregrad18 I know how you feel!! I’ve only heard back from 2 of the 8 schools to which I applied (both rejections - UC Berkeley and Northwestern). I’m still waiting to hear from Brown as well, along with with Stanford, Davis, NYU, Pratt and Michigan. It seems like we have GOT to be hearing something this week from someone, eh??

theatregrad18 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 @mariahjewelalanis I really, really hope so. I took a mental health day today; I keep jumping every time my phone beeps. I haven't checked my portals yet today though. Keep us updated! mariahjewelalanis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrechtianBoy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hello -- Glad to have found this site today. I applied to a slew of programs, and like many here, have only heard back from UC Berkley (rejected). Does anyone know if Tufts, BGSU, UMD, Columbia, Cornell, or Louisiana State University have finalized their candidates? I'm getting paranoid over here. Tufts in my top choice by far; as I'm already near the Boston area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theatregrad18 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 What's the situation with interviews and chances of admission? Does not getting an interview generally mean a rejection? Could someone be admitted without one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theatregrad18 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Just got accepted for MA at CU Boulder! Excited to be accepted somewhere, but I'm still anxious about the rest of my (possible) offers. Anybody else get anything?

mariahjewelalanis Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 @theatregrad18 Congratulations!!! That's AMAZING. I am also waiting to hear from Brown, and was wondering the same thing about interviews. I know that people on this thread have been interviewed and rejected, but I have not heard a peep. theatregrad18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplylindsey Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I applied to a handful of MA/PhDs and have heard back from Ohio State (rejection) and University of Maryland (acceptance). I know UMD doesn't do interviews too often, but it's interesting that some have not yet heard either way...

theatregrad18 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I have a good feeling about today since it's the first of the month and it seems like a likely decision deadline for at least one of these programs. Good vibes to everyone; I've been losing my mind, waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariahjewelalanis Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 @theatregrad18 thank you - I'm digging that optimism. It's been VERY easy for me to lose hope after all of this radio silence, but it's nice to know I'm not alone! Hoping the end of this week brings at least SOME sort of news.

BrechtianBoy Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm looking at the stats from old threads from years past and at this point, I am no longer thinking positively about any school I haven't heard back from yet...looks like another round for me.

Seraphaun Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Long time stalker, new commenter ? anyone else waiting on Tisch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quotidian Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) @Seraphaun Tisch won’t get back to anyone until at least March 8th. More like March 15th or later. Applications weren’t due until 1/15 and Tisch is always among the last to get back to applicants. Are you applying for the MA or the PhD?
