NYU Dramatic Writing MFA - Fall 2022 entry

[lschiozer]

Waitlisted as well

 

[lschiozer]

I wonder if they send any rejection letters to the people that they interview. Curious about that...
I think our chances of getting off the waitlist are not that good, right? I don't know much about those numbers.

From looking through this site, it's happened to five users.... so there's hope!

did you guys get an email to check your portal or you've just been checking it periodically and noticed it?

I checked the portal because I saw something here in the forum, but then I received an email too.

Haven't received anything yet and am quietly going insane

My email came some minutes after the first ones here (15 minutes or something like that) so maybe they're all still coming today

I checked the portal today, because I had a feeling they would put out a status update before NYU goes on spring break. I never got an email though lol...

I know at least 5-6 people got in off of the waiting list last year, so it does happen. Usually not until around April 15, because that's when people have to commit by. I'm in a tough spot, because I have to accept another offer by March 25...

Mine hasn't been updated yet and I haven't received an email. Trying to stay positive but WHEW this is a tough waiting game

Hey everyone! Fellow waitlistee here! I found out that I got in to USC a couple weeks ago now and I’ll be going there so I hope everyone climbs up a rung on the waitlist with me off it!! (If I wasn’t dead last that is )

I got in

Congratulations to everyone. Looks like they sent out acceptances and waitlist letters today (some people on twitter also got in). I think that means I’ve been rejected. Just wish they would update the portal so I could just move on. I’m a mess right now

I'm so sorry you're feeling bummed. I wouldn't despair yet, as it ain't over till it's over, but just as a reminder:
lots of really successful writers have been rejected from these programs and still had amazing careers. I remember hearing that Greta Gerwig was rejected from NYU and Yale Playwriting MFA's, but obviously has carved her way regardless. I don't know what they look for in apps, but sometimes it doesn't directly correlate with professional success. After not getting in last year, I've beaten out NYU MFA alums for certain fellowship opportunities, so MFA programs are only one avenue, but the work is the work! Don't despair!

No portal update for me. Hugs @JHD. It means we weren't a right fit for them right now - you will find an opportunity that fits you even better soon!!

 

[fiere240]

Just got my rejection status update a few mins ago

Sending comfort to everyone <3

 

[catmom]

Got my rejection now too, I expected it because I didn't interview.

 

[burungkilat]

Same, got rejected. I enjoyed the process, it was my first time applying and managed to get an interview. So onwards and upwards! Congrats to those that got in!!!
