They won't look down on when you schedule your interview, they realize that they need to have flexible dates so that everyone that wants to can come. Also, realize that at IC it is possible to be accepted to the school but not the theatre department. This is nothing to worry about, but just keep it in mind. This may not come out in the most comprehensible way, but I am going to try... Think about it like this: a good interview with the department will get you in the program, but they can't really do much if you don't meet the criteria to get into IC in general. On the other hand, you may meet all the criteria to get into IC, and you can be accepted, but it is possible to not be accepted to the theatre department.Hey all, thanks so much for your help. You guys are great!
One final question... I am going to try to schedule my Ithaca interview for the latest interview date (March 23). My reasoning is that by then, I'll have all the sets that I have designed for Guys And Dolls already built, and I will have pictures from the light design to stick in my portfolio.
I don't see an issue with this however I do think there might be a small possibility they would look badly on the fact that I'm waiting to the last minute. Is this just paranoia or would it be a real possibility?
Thanks again.
Also remember that your interview is a time for you to ask questions about the school and the program (no matter where you are interviewing). Have a couple questions ready to ask your interviewer like:
•"What do students do for outside experience?"Questions like that will show an interest in school/program and that you get out a little.
•"What kind of internship opportunities are there?"
•"what do people do around here for fun?"
Not trying to start an argument with you, bcfcst4. Universities/colleges must turn a profit in order to achieve their higher goal of education. Well, that and have a winning football team. It makes little financial sense to admit a candidate who, based on high school achievements, is likely to drop out or be expelled due to poor academic performance before matriculation.
Not talking about those ultra-liberal, hippie-type schools with the "no grade" policies and the like. As a high school senior, I briefly considered a College that had no curricula, all majors were independent study: "make your own major." My guidance counselor correctly advised that upon graduation, I would possess only the skills to be a scholar and go into academia. So I choose the University she, as well as my English, Math, and Theatre teachers, had attended. : )
