Do any of those schools have rolling admissions for their dramatic writing programs or do I have to wait to apply for the 2011 semester? That's one thing that really annoyed me about NYU was the fact that the admissions had such a long turn around. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

UCLA has been even worse! That November 1st deadline was horrible -- especially for those of us still completing our undergraduate studies.

I totally agree on the deadline being horrible. Not as horrible as this waiting around though. Has anyone heard through the grapevine about NYU accepting anyone without an interview this year? A friend who attended 2 years ago said some folks in his class were accepted via email without any interviews/phone calls etc. Curious if that's happened this year or if I'm totally making myself go into panic mode for no reason...

Well I'm officially in to panic mode. It would be nice if they phone interviewed everyone or no one at all.

I had a phone interview a week or a week and half ago. I didn't catch her name, but she said I'm on the short list for serious consideration into the program. After having perusing these boards and seeing that people had gotten into the program without an interview in the past, I am curious how true that statement was. My interview was pleasant enough even if it caught me by complete surprise. I'm confident I left a good impression and she said notifications would go out at the end of March.

Does anyone know (about) when NYU started calling for interviews, weather they have been doing them over their spring break, or about when I should begin panicking because they haven't called me?

Feeling the rib-cracking weight of this week slowly pressing down, and in the words of Marwood from Withnail and I, "I'm getting the fear!"

Anyone feeling similar?

 

[The Dusty Elephant]

Feather, I think we're all in that boat, but I no one has reported admission or rejection to the Dramatic Writing program so there is still hope.

Mine was about 2 weeks ago, but as others have reported before. People have gotten in without an interview.

 

[Generallyspeaking22]

I have to admit, I am feeling doubtful. I haven't received a call, but I suppose anything is possible.

 

[New2you]

I still haven't heard anything from NYU. No rejection, and no interview. I don't know whether to take that as a good sign or a bad sign. I did get an interview with Columbia, which I think is promising. Any thoughts on my situation?

 

[Neville26]

In the same boat as you New2you. Have no idea what's going on. Just waiting...

 

[Five by Five]

I'd take that as a "no sign" New2you, since we know that they don't interview everyone.

Also, I believe since they were openly claiming they don't do interviews to people here who contacted them, I don't think they were flat out lying.

I'd guess, perhaps, they don't "generally" do interviews with everyone admitted which would actually make their statement true and allow room for them to interview a couple of people they had questions about.

Just don't get yourself down by listening to other people who are applying to other departments within NYU. It's like Susan Carnival told me, they have their own way of doing things in Dramatic Writing.

 

[New2you]

Thanks for your input Five by Five, I hadn't thought of it that way before. I feel a little better now.

 

[WillieGreen]

Finally got my rejection. Not surprised at all.

Ah well. Wasn't going to be able to move anyways.

 

[Neville26]

Sorry, WillieGreen. How'd you get your rejection? What media form?

The "go to this link" email.

LOL so "dramatic".

 

[Neville26]

Okay...well, didn't get that one yet. But I'm assuming I will get it soon. Sorry again, man. Where you thinking/wanting to go then next Fall?

Waiting on UCLA. Interview went well there, so I got my fingers crossed. And toes. And eyes...

 

[Neville26]

Sweet! Did you interview Monday, too? As in this week? I was number 11, what number were you? (If you did interview that day)...and who did you interview with?

Question overload.

 

[WillieGreen]

LOL I'll answer your questions in the UCLA thread, so as not to hijack this one.

 

[New2you]

Rejected...
Is this a good place to collapse and start crying?
