Hi everybody, Who`s in for Hispanic Linguistics applications this year? I have an interest in working with languages in contact, specially Spanish & Portuguese and also language pedagogy (Portuguese as a foreign/second language. I would like to know about other programs in Hispanic/Spanish linguistics which works with Portuguese as well. I`ve found that it isn`t so easy to find lots of programs actually working with Portuguese. So far, my list is: Berkeley, UMass - Amherst, UTexas at Austin, UGA, Illinois - Urbana Champaign, Ohio State, U of Michigan, U of Arizona and Indiana University. Let the application season begin!

I am so happy for you! Congratulations!!!

Wow! That is great! Congrats on your acceptance! Funding will come! It will come!

hahahaha true: it is hot like hell in Brazil, so not going suit shopping is my silver linings too! I am still waiting for two other decisions though... And for HigherEdLife: agreed... I think you guys will have to wait a little more. So hang in there! Hopefully, you`ll get very good news from West Philadelphia!

As far as I know, only PhD!!! Hold on a little more there, tchrsquirrel!!!! Hopefully, you will be getting good news very soon. Fingers crossed!

I think they are just busy processing the doctoral programs right now, travelgirl! =( Hopefully, very soon you will get your very good news from Penn!!!!!!! Whooohey!

Hummm... I think it is only for PhD candidates. Also, this is the email I received. There is always hope!

From what I understood, the most promising applicants are contacted to be part of the PhD weekend in February regardless the specialization. But I cannot tell you if this works for ALL of the PhD programs!

Hi guys: I`ve got news! I wrote an email to Penn GSE and got this a minute ago: "At this time, all invitations have been extended to students selected for the first round of interviews in February. If you were not contacted for an interview, this is not necessarily the end of the road. Occasionally the faculty will return to the pool of applicants and select more students for interviews after the initial group. It is not common, but it does happen every once in a while. For this reason, we do not issue any official decision letters until mid-March." I did not get one! Anyways, I wish you guys a great journey ahead and that you can succeed in whatever you do!

Blahhh.. Same here. I just want whatever result now heheh...

Guys... Any news at your end??

Ahhh! Happy for your friend and sad because I'm also ed. Linguistics and did not receive anything!

Intercultural communication is within the Ed Lx division, so hou are fine!!!

Your stats sound very good! Dont worry too much. When does masters results start coming out??

I think we are all in the same boat.. I had a great experience there, that is very true, but at the same time I dont have a good GRE number ... Plus, my undergraduate studies are from a unknown school in the US. So I also think my chances are slim... In any case, applying is the smartest thing we've done if we want to make it to Penn!
