  1. Assuming I'm accepted to a program, I'd be entering at 27 as well. I'm glad I waited. If I would have applied directly from undergrad I would have been overly optimistic and naive about the process/job search.
  2. So in my humble opinion this is a great sign. I received a FLAS for my MA studies and it is 50% funded by the Dept of Education and 50% funded by your University/Program. If a program is considering putting up 50% of the cost of your tuition/stipend/healthcare that seems like an indicator they are likely going to offer admission. If they weren't seriously considering your application I doubt they'd waste your time. FYI when I received a FLAS for one year it covered my full tuition, $15,000 stipend, and healthcare. At my school it required you take formal (or even somewhat informal!) language training and additionally one related area course per semester. However, 'area course' is very loosely defined. I sold a theory class as an area course by stating my paper topic involved East Asia. The application process was simple and not overly time consuming.
  3. This happened to me at Michigan, but after talking to one of my Rec's they said it's super common and not to worry about it if you received the standard upload confirmation e-mails. In Michigan's case they had the letters, but the program had not retrieved them yet. So don't worry, I doubt there's an issue.
