And @scarvesandcardigans I didn't tell this school that I had other offers, but I don't imagine that it would make a difference. I just thought it was a little early in the game to be saying that kind of thing (though that doesn't mean you can't). Now, as we approach April 15th I may begin throwing that out there in hopes of a response, haha, Agreed. It does feel super early. This is definitely good to know.

Spanport Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Based on the forum from last year, we should be hearing back from most of our schools by the end of February at the latest. Hopefully sooner rather than later. i just want to know already!!!!! Yak1030 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last name is pretty early in the alphabet, so it could simply be administrative. Crossing my fingers for you!

cactilio Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi and congrats to those of you who have received already one or more offers! I' was looking at the results page and have not seen anything from CUNY (Spanish) I saw results from comp lit and history. Are you applying there? In that case would you please let us know if you hear from them? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarvesandcardigans Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) I just saw someone posted an acceptance to the NCSU MA program in FLL - Spanish. Is that persona a forum user? I'm finishing the second year now so if anyone has any leads I'm here to answer questions! Edited February 3, 2017 by scarvesandcardigans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yak1030 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Congrats on the admit @erasingdinosaurs! I won't be going to NC State, but @scarvesandcardigans do you mind if I ask you some time some general questions about what it's like to be in a masters Spanish program ?? I know precisely no one who has been through this process within the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarvesandcardigans Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Also has anyone heard anything about penn state? Someone I know has an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argengringa Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I applied to 12 programs and have only heard back from one: an acceptance into the Phd in Spanish Lit at University of Illinois at Chicago. I'm dying to go to NYU, but since I haven't heard from them about an interview, I'm super nervous :(. What's even worse is that I finished my applications in October, so I feel like I have literally been waiting a million years for responses!! How does everyone deal with the anxiety?

I personally eat my feelings and make myself crazy by looking at campus photos of my top choice schools ... not sure I'm much help... this is just such a stressful time. I would also love to know how some of you are actually dealing with this anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend roughly 2 hours a day looking at campus photos and searching apartments on craigslist for all my top choices. And the eating part, too. Lots of that.

scarvesandcardigans Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm definitely guilty of looking at apartments and dreaming of what life would be like in a given program/town. And incessantly checking the results page to see if there is any news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They emailed me not too long ago (couple of hours, maybe), so maybe you still get an email. Also, this is the first round of interviews and they will for almost sure do another one later (once they have offered admissions and some people decline them so they need more candidates... You get the idea). I know it because last year I was interviewed during the second round (then waitlisted, then rejected... Great journey haha), so it can be the case. I do Latin American literature (Central America mainly). Did you attend/watch online their open house in fall? Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out for you, I am super interested in one of the Professors for my research so I'd really like to get this email but I kind of know how this game goes...
