citizenoftheworld Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hello Everybody, I was wondering whether there is anybody who is applying for Ph.D. in Italian for next academic year. This language is not well represented at all even in the forum and would be nice to get to talk to each other at least. Come on lovers of the "bel paese" where are you? where have you applied to? Citizen..... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenoftheworld Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 CIAO guys Am I really the only one applying for Italian in here???? I think it would be nice to exchange experience and talk to each other....killing the waiting....................! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaostacia Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey Citizen! I agree, Italian always seems to be underrepresented everywhere! I applied for this coming fall for a PhD program, but as this is my second time around applying, I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up (just in case). Where did you apply?

Vincenzo Salvatore Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hi guys, I am Italian and I applied to Duke and Michigan Ann Arbor programs in Italian Studies (plus Minnesota and Notre Dame programs in Comparative Literatures). I have just received the invitation to the PhD admission interviews from Duke... I cannot stress enough how thrilled and excited I am! I hope I will get something like that from Notre Dame too, they are my top choices and it would be fantastic to visit both universities during the same trip (also because I need about 18 hours to get to Durham or South Bend!).

Vincenzo Salvatore Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Guys... I cannot believe it.. I just received the communication from Michigan: full package! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenoftheworld Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bravissimo Vincenzo........ I am in a completely different location North East however it would be great to keep in touch and communicate even privately. When are you coming to the USA? send me private message I am in the US already and you can either write to me in Italian or English ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ital2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Congrats, Vincenzo. I also applied to Michigan. How did they notify you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo Salvatore Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Congrats, Vincenzo. I also applied to Michigan. How did they notify you? Mail. Very nice and with a personalized offer attached as a pdf file. They invited me to the PhD Weekend 23-24 February too, so during the same trip I should be able to visit all the universities that accepted me.

citizenoftheworld Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ciao Ragazzi Anybody else got any other info on their admission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleisawesome Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Ciao ragazzi, I've applied to five programs: four in Romance Language & Lit. Departments, and one in Comparative Literature. Although these programs combine two or more Romance Languages, Italian would be my primary. However, I have yet to hear back from any of the programs! Here's to hoping that February starts to pass a little more quickly. Edited February 9, 2013 by kyleisawesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenoftheworld Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi Kyleisawesome, Thank you very much for your reply it is nice to see more from us interested in Italian. In what Universities did you apply to? I applied to Rutgers and NYU let's hope all together Citizen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleisawesome Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Buona sera, compagni, I applied to the University of Oregon, Berkeley, Stanford, Duke, and Harvard. Stanford and Berkeley are great schools, but I'm from the Bay Area and don't know if I want to be there for another seven years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citizenoftheworld Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 I see, Kyle location needless to say do play an important role for our choice for different reasons. I wish to get into your first choice!!!!!! Come on!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessyd Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Has anyone heard from Harvard yet? Also, does anyone happen to know whether Harvard interviews first before they accept or reject you? Because from the results search it seems like they give you a decision in the third week of February, I just don't know whether the people who are accepted in the third week of February have already gone to Harvard to interview, in which case I'm not very hopeful about my acceptance since it's the second week of February.

Fedeica Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey vanessyd I haven't heard from Harvard yet.. and I am pretty sure that there is no interview. So.. let's just wait and hope Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexAD Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hi guys, did anyone apply to Brown University? I had a couple of interviews with Brown's people at the beginning of January but have not heard anything since then. I also applied to NYU, CUNY Graduate Center, Yale and University of Wisconsin-Madison. So far I got an acceptance letter from Madison ( ) but no news from the others. Good luck to everybody!
