"Oh there's such a better word for [insert every day concept] in [insert target language] but it's just too difficult to explain to you if you don't know the language" "The conjunctive can go suck a big fat one" [Eternal debate on what "fluency" really means, or if it exists at all] "If you know one [insert major language family] language, then you really know them all" (I'm guilty of this) "One day I really want to learn [insert obscure language with less than 500k speakers], it just seems so cool"

OMG I got an unofficial acceptance from a school yesterday and have been doing the same thing obsessively since!

One of us! Mind sharing who has contacted you? What do you study? Ling or lit? I'm still waiting on Columbia too. No idea of their timeline, though. Fingers crossed for the both of us!

Congratulations on your WUSTL acceptance! That's wonderful to hear I'm sure. Do you have a top choice among those great schools? So happy for you!

Пацаны! "Is anybody out there?" as the great philosopher P. Floyd once said. What is going on with your applications? Who's heard what? Also, to those who got accepted to Northwestern for Fall 2018, I'd love to have a word with you. You crushed my dreams and I have the utmost respect for you. I'm in lit, specifically the 19th century and its cross sections with political and social philosophy. Who else is with me? Any linguistics people in here?

Nothing here either, still waiting. I saw on the results page that Princeton has offered someone an interview and Berkeley accepted someone (in Slavic) but otherwise just silence. While my rational mind knows there still times, I feel like the walls are beginning to close in

Any Fall 2015 applicants alive out there? If so, for what are you applying and to where? Anybody from the past have any comments about Slavic lit departments? Good luck to all out there
