I did not apply to Michigan, but it looks brutal on the results. I wonder if something is up with funding?
I had my interview with Penn State today; and it went well. The faculty are passionate, and the atmosphere was relaxed... too bad I wasn't!
sandie - The Director of Beginning Studies while I was doing my M.A. had her Ph.D. from UT-Austin. She did French linguistics, but she is an amazing pedagogue. I admire her so much, and I would assume that this excellence would extend to her department. Congrats on the acceptance! I'm sure it feels good to know that you have at least one option this early in the "season".
Meanwhile, I have a Skype interview coming up with Penn State. Extremely nervous! Anyone else done the Skype interview? Tips?
I am checking my email every 15 minutes and scanned last year's grad café results to see when people started hearing from my programs in 2012. I feel so pathetic!
