NYU Dramatic Writing MFA - Fall 2021

[Nathalie Granger]

I wound up emailing to ask about international interview requests, but I'm not holding my breath. Best of luck to everyone who managed to get one!!

Thank you for writing them. If you can share the answer with us when you have it, that would be great.

I wonder how many waitlisted people eventually make it into the programs. All the results of all the schools have to come out, then people choose, then the places they decline have to go next in list.

So, really I wonder how many unique applicants vs spots available there are. Say there are 500 people applying total, 3/4 of those to multiple programs... then I'd have to count all the spots available. So really the acceptance rate could be much higher than we think. It's a nice thought at least.

Will do! I sent an email to the general 'Tisch Graduate Admissions' contact -- as low as I try to keep my expectations, my fingers remain firmly crossed.

We’re probably all depressed about USC lol (or at least I am ) ... But no, nothing yet!

I think it usually picks up on the weekends. Plus several of us were told it would be at least a couple weeks before results come out. I think the earliest results based on previous years per the application tracker would track for this weekend.

You guys just have missed the fun in the other thread.

how old are you guys applying to the NYU Grad Film program? (How important is age?)

out of curiosity, how old are you guys applying to the NYU Grad Film programme?

An update -- unfortunately no replies since Monday. If anyone has any ideas for better points of contact, I'd still be down to make one last inquiry on behalf of the internationals here!

I hope they start making calls tomorrow because I have been absolutely useless this week hoping that they'd make calls "early" hahaha. Good luck to everyone waiting.

Does NYU make calls or send out emails with their decisions?

From past threads it seems that they usually call and then send e-mails a few days later, but there doesn't seem to be a clear rhyme or reason with this program to be honest from reading past threads so... keep an eye and ear out for it all! Hahahahaha.

i searched through the applications with the keywords like "call" and "email" and it seems to me like last year they just did email? if i get a phone call from an unknown number i never answer so i hope they email.

and i hope i get contacted at all haha

Oh you angel, thank you for looking. I hope we hear tomorrow, all this waiting is really starting to eat at me. I'm sure everyone's feeling the pressure.

People are still waiting to get contacted? I gave up hope a week ago and even took up a new project to write dialogues for an indie feature. They’re not emailing anymore guys.

Not for interviews, for decisions.

Might not matter, but I just was told by a current student that NYU isn't having spring break this year because of COVID...they are only having a three day weekend instead, next weekend. Wondering if that affects the timeline at all.

Last year it looks like decisions were sent out the Friday before their spring break, so maybe next Friday is when they’ll get sent out.

I know they're two different programs, but saw that Film School got calls today. Anyone get any calls from Dramatic Writing?

At this point I'm just waiting for my rejection so I can finally accept for a different program!
