I had my interview with Joe this morning. It was fun! These interviews are supposed to be short I think, but I had so much fun chatting with him and we ended up going way over the 20 minute limit.
They are very familiar with your submitted work and I truly feel like they look for potential writing talent. My first couple of questions were in concern to my work--oddly enough about comedy. I was totally thrown off by that because I don't see myself as a comedy writer. So, if there's anything that I took away from this experience, it's that I should try my hand at comedy writing! Who knew I'd go through some self-discovery today. The questions then moved to why NYU and have you ever been to NYC? I asked some questions of my own and we discussed those for a long time. We finished up on discussing how cool his last name was and his Italian heritage.
He did discuss the application process and a lot of what the program entails. Two readers and a faculty member read your script and share notes, so on. He went so in-depth about the internship and career opportunities available to their students. I found it all very informative! I felt like it was a very organic conversation, more so than my other interviews. Good luck to everyone still waiting to have an interview and everyone waiting to hear a decision! Joe said we'd know by the end of the month, but historically they seem to come out with decisions in mid-March!
