Theater Maker Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just got the first round interview request from CMU, I know a lot of folks got it already. Heading to New Haven on Thursday. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Yale interviews, its been helpful to hear about the types of questions they ask. E.

I haven't received mine but I thought they interviewed everyone first round? Maybe they've changed that... Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadamDirector Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just finished my Skype interview with UW. Two main takeaways: 1. Skype is the devil. 2. Valerie Curtis-Newton is amazing, and if she wanted to adopt me I would be 100% on board. Squidpunk, Hamidoo, E. Karenina and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. Karenina Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 @MadamDirector I feel both of those statements spiritually. MadamDirector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathryntheSM Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 @E. Karenina Will you let me know when you hear back from UCSD? I applied for Stage Management, so I know it's not the exact same, but I think both application deadlines were 1/9. I'm dying to hear back for an interview. I think they are my #1 school at the moment. Open to having my mind changed. But nonetheless, very impatient waiting to get an interview time. Columbia gave me a false sense of reality. Applications were due 1/4, and I had an email confirming I would interview on 1/11...... sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerie Curtis-Newton is amazing, and if she wanted to adopt me I would be 100% on board. @MadamDirector, the ONLY reason I'm not applying to UW is that I've been living in Seattle 5-6 years already and am trying to move out to the East Coast to be nearer my family. Val is an INCREDIBLE teacher, and some of the most valuable advice I've ever received has been from her. She holds back no punches. Had my CMU interview with Caden today. I felt really prepped for it, even though Skype is atrocious. Still haven't heard anything from UCSD and Northwestern, but those are the only two I'm waiting to hear from.

MadamDirector Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @Squidpunk I found her so inspiring just in a 25 minute interview, I can hardly imagine spending three whole years with her. Just wow. If dreams come true and I get accepted, I'll have to hit you up for some advice one West Coast living. Congrats on a solid CMU interview!

E. Karenina Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @KathryntheSM I will definitely let you know if/when I hear from them! Looking at last year's forum, it seems like first or second week of Feb is when they make initial contact. Was the SM deadline 1/9 as well?

Curio Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I hope everyone is staying sane during the waiting game and having great interviews! Does anyone know anything about University of South Dakota's program? I don't know much about it. Hamidoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theater Maker Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Just finished the Yale interview. Had CMU yesterday. Completely opposite experiences in so many ways. Hope everyone else’s interviews went well. Hamidoo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

per4mance Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Had my CalArts interview today. Really interesting conversation and more casual than I expected. He’s hard to read but I think it went well! Curio, Hamidoo and E. Karenina 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamidoo Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 @E. Karenina I got my CMU rejection email last week. I think the interview wasn't fair as Caden was in a rush and it took just 10 min. I have been invited to the New Scool Callback weekend in March. The rest is just waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidpunk Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) @E. Karenina Also got a CMU rejection email. I thought I actually nailed this interview, but they're looking for really specific candidates, and Caden seems kind of like a piece of work, so I'm not particularly upset. I got a 2nd round interview with Northwestern -- they emailed this morning. I'm going to NY for my 2nd round with Columbia this weekend - anyone here going to be there? I am excruciatingly nervous. Nothing but tumbleweeds from UCSD... Edited January 31, 2018 by Squidpunk words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope... waiting to find out if I make it to Round 2 for either Yale or UWashington, and waiting to hear anything at all from the other four (BU, UMass, Northwestern er, and UT Austin).

Squidpunk Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 @MadamDirector fingers crossed that you hear from Northwestern! It would be fun to do an interview weekend with you and put a person to the username! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. Karenina Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Sorry about CMU @Hamidoo and @Squidpunk! Sounds like they need to re-think having Caden rep their program though. Yikes. Thanks for the Northwestern update! I have been waiting to hear from them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
