Northwestern Writing for Screen and Stage 2024

[Mophilos16]

I did. The interview is scheduled for either the end of this week or next. They asked me to submit a full script by the very next day. I received notification of the interview on the 20th.

You mean the entire script from the 10-page excerpt that was required during registration?

Awesome! Thanks so much for the info. There’s barely any out there, and I wish we could go see some of the plays the students produce.

Tbh I just found them on instagram and chatted them up. A few of them were really helpful.

It could be any script. But a full page script for review.

Anyone know how many applicants are interviewed?

I'm an international student. Anyone else?
I'm getting anxious with this silence.
I saw someone saying to keep an eye on the updates online, but Cornell uses the same platform and nothing changed over there (I got rejected from Cornell, but my online application still says 'submitted')

I'm trying to keep myself positive, but this waiting process... I can't deal with it!

I personally am assuming rejection while also remaining super, super open to being pleasantly surprised…

 

[anaelizamg]

Haha I feel you! I'd love to be surprised tomorrow, for example.

I applied for Northwestern's program and still waiting for a response. Waiting/being in the gray is the hardest part and I've been so anxious about it. I emailed them asking about the timeline and they responded to me on the 16th saying that invitations will go out next week (but that was 12 days ago ). If I didn't get in, I just want to know to put my nervous heart to rest.

Could always add to this game someone created.

Story Game while we wait for results 2024

I know we have at least a week left before we hear anything but I feel like I'm going crazy! We can always play a game while we wait. Create a story together? Each person writes two paragraphs and then hands off to the next person in the thread, who then picks up where their predecessor left...

northwestern was the latest for applications. They are also on the quarter system. They end late in June and start late in September. I would expect them to be last in line for notifications. So be patient and good luck everyone.

Congrats!

Pretty sure you said before that you spoke to current students. Do you mind sharing anything interesting or helpful they said? Not much out there about NW but it seems like a unique program.
