Natiyrm

Thx, twentysix. I didn't get any funding but my parents are willing to support me. I will graduate in July with a BA in Spanish. LAS is a rising field in my country so I hope to concentrate on sino-latin american relationships and cooperation. It is really cool that you have plans to learn indigenous languages, I just hope to continue improving my Spanish and Portuguese in the MA program.

Hi, ***, congratulations! We had a little talk in another thread. It seems that most of us have got all the results. I got many letters of rejection but was admitted by the LAS program of University of Florida!

***, I took DELE C1 in November and haven't got my grades yet, yes they work slowly... I did my exchange year in UAB, they don't require DELE grades from Spanish major students and enroll a lot of Chinese students (economic crisis...). So far it's my only safe school. BeatrizBear, I haven't studied in US before and got all the information from the websites of the universities... I would really like to go to UCSD, though

BeatrizBear, I've applied for UCSD, UF, UMD and Columbia. I will also apply for UAB of Spain.

Hi ***, I have studied Spanish for 3 years (2 years in China and 1 year in Barcelona), will get a BA in Spanish. Spain is a good place to study but I'm more interested in Latin American literature and culture. I applied for programs in Spanish and in Latin American Studies but I don't know if I have much chance. You said you saw Chinese surnames in the departments but greater chances are that they are Chinese born in Latin America or US. I also began to study Catalan and Portuguese when I was in Barcelona (strange experience, facing long lists of falsos amigos every day). My GRE and Toefl scores are okay but I still feel very unsure, maybe I should have applied for more schools... Do you think I should also take DELE to prove my Spanish level? I would really like to have opinions from all of you. Thx

I have been looking for posts like this for a long time... The information provided is very helpful. As far as I know, I am the only Chinese that wants to continue studying Spanish in the US (normally spanish major students of China choose Spain or change their major to study in the US). Knowing three most commonly used languages may sound cool but it has been a huge disadvantage in the application as I have to prove my proficiency in two foreign languages. It's possible that I get rejected by all the programs but anyway, por lo menos merece la pena probar Saludos
