College and Graduate Studies / Going back to Grad School with Equity card?
« on: Feb 16, 2010, 09:47 pm »
Hi all,
I have been out of undergrad for three years, and have a very strong desire to go back to school next fall and get my MFA. I've researched all the schools, chosen the programs that I am most interested in, and have began to prep for essays, etc.
I'm slightly concerned though, because I got my Equity card a little under two years ago. I've been consistently working, but I want to get my MFA because I really would like to eventually teach and the college level and meet new people/make new contacts.
Has anyone here gone back to grad school after they became AEA? Did you find that universities were curious as to why you were "going backwards" (which I don't really believe, that's just what I've heard)? Did you find that this played a role in interviews/admission, either in a positive or negative way? Also, did you have to get special permission from Equity to participate in university productions?
Thanks for the help!
