Colombo

Has anyone heard from Toronto?

Looks like the person who posted specialized in Computational Linguistics. Thanks for clarifying... Guess that means there is still hope for the sociolinguists

No word from Georgetown yet, but somebody just posted that they were admitted. If you read this, could you please let us know what concentration you applied to?

Hi JD! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you - I haven't been on here for a while. I'll talk about language ideologies in Sri Lanka. What about you?

I got a fellowship, too! I emailed them back with my acceptance right away but haven't heard anything from them since. Is that normal?

I will present at DSNA, too! I've presented at conferences before, but never at DSNA. Looking forward to meet you all there!

I'm also trying to take a number of classes that aren't offered at my school... Guess that is a very popular approach. Btw, I am looking for a roommate for either the campus housing or a sublet close to campus (I probably won't bring a car). Anybody interested?

Arezoo, you should check into Ball State University. I got my MA there. They have an MA in Linguistics and a double MA program in Linguistics and TESOL and offer assistantships teaching ESL or freshman composition to their students...

Awesome, Phonolog, I was hoping that was you! On a completely unrelated note: Is there anybody else who has not heard anything from Colorado? I know people have gotten acceptances, waitlistings, and rejections, but I have simply heard nothing...

I am really sorry, Phonolog! I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed that something will work out for you!

Thanks, goldheartmountaintop. I know some people have gotten accepted , but someone posted on the notice board that they were still reviewing socio applications... Since people have also been getting rejections for a while, I've just been wondering what's going on with the people who haven't heard anything...

I'm sorry to hear that, mq1. I was in the same situation last year, but the additional year really helped me to make my application a lot better. Are you waiting on any other schools? On a slightly different note: Has anybody else heard from UC Boulder (esp. the people who did not get invited to the Open House) or Georgetown Sociolinguistics?

Has Georgetown Sociolinguistics finally contacted anybody?

Somebody from my program got invited to an Open House for Boulder yesterday. They said they are gonna invite 7-8 external students and 6-7 of their own and that all of these are finalists... I haven't heard anything either... A part of me is still hoping, but I don't think it looks good for those of us who haven't heard anything...

Somebody posted that they heard from CU Boulder today. Was anybody else contacted? That's my favorite school, so I'm kinda anxious...

Haven't heard from Georgetown (Sociolinguistics), either... My friend is also waiting to hear from SUNY Buffalo. I know some people got accepted/an invitation to go to the Open House... What does it mean if you haven't heard anything? Has anybody gotten rejected yet?

True I just asked my POI and he said it was a mistake. I'll get a full tuition waiver and a stipend.

I am really excited because I just got an acceptance from SUNY Buffalo... However, I am not quite sure what to make of the following paragraph: "Unfortunately, we are unable at this point to offer you a fellowship. However, we will offer you what we hope will be the next best thing: a year-long Teaching Assistantship with guaranteed renewal for a second year pending performance review and the prospect of likely further renewals beyond that (pending again performance review). The fellowships come with a stipend, full tuition scholarship, health insurance, and fringe benefits." It sounds good at first, but I am not sure whether my assistantship will come with a stipend and tuition as well or if it's just the fellowship. Does anybody happen to know more?

So which universities have you guys heard from except for Northwestern?
