So, now that we're all a little bit further in the application process and April 15th is a little over a month out, what kinds of decisions are people having to make? This thread could also serve as a way of putting out information to people on waiting lists that spots may (or may not) be opening up.

It seems like they've released rejections, or at least many of them (including mine ), but you have to log into the site to check.

Hahaha, wow, I like that explanation of why I haven't heard! Thanks

Wow, that's amazing, congrats!

Has anyone heard anything about when UMass Amherst or Santa Cruz will be releasing their decisions? From past data UMass is past due, and Santa Cruz should be right about now, does anyone have any information about this? Also, people talk about emailing the DGS (director of graduate studies?): is that considered rude, or is that something that is okay / expected to do?

Hmm, when did you hear about that? And what's your specialization? haha

Wow, what kind of work are you doing in Israel? Maybe it would be better to continue via PM, so that we don't clog this thread, fascinating though this is. I'd also love to hear about your work with loanwords, and verbs in particular.

Awesome, I guess I'll see you there then! I'm interested in the morphology of loan verbs into Semitic languages from non-Semitic languages, and how the verbal system accommodates all the structural clashing that goes on in those contexts. I started work on this issue in my BA thesis, and they must have liked it! I'm really there for Professor Ussishkin, the specialist in Semitic psycholinguistics and lexicon work, who I spoke to just recently, he seems fantastic. By the way, do you happen to know whether the funding they offer is enough to live on in Tucson?

Hey Vonham, I'm going to UArizona's visiting weekend too! What kind of research are you hoping to do there?

I'm in the same boat...

Anyone heard any word about UCSC?
