Thanks for the update @ibnbattuta. In other news, darn you Harvard!!!

I was curious if anyone else applied to Georgetown for Arabic and Islamic studies. I haven't heard anything from them so far.

Thanks! No, I heard from them last week. What's your sub field? I'm guessing that not all sub fields have sent notifications yet.

I'm not sure if they've sent out all the acceptances. I just got an email but my status on the UCLA application hasn't changed.

Hey all, I got accepted to the PhD program at UCLA (NELC - Arabic). I'm really grateful for this as this was one of my top choices. Does anyone else here plan on going to UCLA?

Cool...I'm interested also interested in Arabic literature specifically from the early Islamic period. What schools did you apply to?

kawawyah: I got the FLAS email from Chicago but haven't submitted the application yet. I think the deadline is mid February. And I didn't get the 3 minute video request.

Did anyone else apply to Arabic & Islamic Studies PhD programs?

I haven't heard anything either. Where did you guys apply?

I would like to get my masters in CS and start working in the industry immediately afterwards. The school I'm really considering is Cal Poly SLO for a number of reasons. My undergrad is in something else and they take students with bachelors in other fields. Tuition is cheaper compared to UCs among other things 1. What kind of reputation does Cal Poly San Luis Obispo have among employers in silicon valley etc (I happen to be from SV so I'm just wondering) 2. I could try for San Jose State as well and I would not have to move but what do you think about San Jose State's reputation in comparison with Cal Poly's? Does it matter that much? Is there are pretty big difference? 3. Are there any schools (in the country) that are pretty generous in giving stipends and fellowhsips such that you think I could get a full ride with my stats? (3.65 undergrad gpa in environmental studies, GRE: verbal - 720, quant - 770, writing - 5.5) Money is a rather significant consideration for me so even if it's not a super highly ranked university but provides funding for a masters program, that would make a difference.
