I almost don’t want to jinx anything by writing it out!
I actually applied to graduate programs, which I don’t think I’ve said yet. I was recruited by E15, RB, Brooklyn College, and CSU Long Beach through URTA (CSU Long Beach is the school that sadly postponed our callbacks, and I’m VERY interested in their program).
Out of the two UK schools I was admitted to, I was more excited by E15 because I have a friend going AND it’s a less expensive program. Brooklyn College is in New York, so all of that networking can happen right away. It seems to be very affordable, to boot. CSU’s program is in Acting Pedagogy and helps with teaching placement at a university level, which would be invaluable for financial stability. Plus, I just get a great vibe from them.
I still have a handful to hear from (LAMDA, USD Old Globe, DePaul waitlist), and I also have a partner who is applying to programs and waiting on answers, so I’m trying not to get too excited about one particular program until we both have more info!
