<p>Zach Rufa sent an entire play to Brown and he got in. But he is a gifted young playwright.</p>

<p>“I understand. The thing is, those 25,000 didn’t submit plays. All of them didn’t send in videos or musical pieces or dance samplings. All of them didn’t prove that they were independent people capable of creating something. All of those 25,000 applicants didn’t get in. I appreciate the advice, but I am afraid I am quite stubborn. It has always been my opinion that one should show instead of tell. I am sure that a few thousand applicants talk about how they will write a book one day, or will be the world’s next Dylan, or how they want to open their own dance studio. And that’s fine. As for me, I prefer to show that I am already an accomplished (and paid) playwright and writer. I simply can’t say that one day I will be the next Arthur Miller, but I can show my work to someone, have them read it (even if it is only a few random pages,) and allow them to decide for themselves if I will be the next Miller. Can you understand my point of view?”</p>
