Has anyone who applied to the NYU Dramatic Writing program heard anything yet? Do they even do interviews?

I applied to the NYU dramatic writing mfa, so i'm waiting. But I'm not sure if they send out for interviews...

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I figured since AFI and other writing programs do interviews, NYU would do them too.

Any idea on how many people apply and how many get accepted?

I heard that USC does not do interviews for MFA screenwriting. I'm also waiting to hear from NYU. I hope we find out soon.

Hey, has anyone heard anything new this week? I haven't heard anything from NYU dramatic writing and don't know when/if they call for interviews.

No, I haven't heard anything either. Maybe they don't do interviews.

I was going to apply to the DW program at NYU, but my playwriting professor (who graduated from the program) told me not to. It's too restricted apperantly. You all should look into film production at NYU as well.

Calliegrl,

Why did she feel it was too restricting?

It wasn't creative enough...The professor didn't give them any freedom to write, really. I met a man who transfered from the DW to Film production and was a lot happier.

Havent heard anything either.

Any updates here? Acceptances, waitlists, rejections? I got waitlisted yesterday...

No, I still haven't heard anything. J Kemazi, did you just get waitlisted through regular mail, or through e-mail?

I heard through e-mail, theseus. no one else heard anything?

Nothing. I've pretty much already accepted it as a rejection.

I spoke with Joe m. at NYU today--he's the guy you email about the wait list. According to Joe; moving from the MFA Dramatic Writing waitlist won't happen until the end of May. And, the waitlist could stay open all summer. Tisch-Asia wait list "moves" could happen sooner. "The department has more information."
*sigh*
Think I'll try them next. Any body have a point of contact in the DWP?
