Hi guys!

I finally accepted an offer from UCLA, so I already rejected my other options (U. Arizona, UC Davis, UC San Diego, UVA, UMD, UNC and CUNY). Hopefully if you´re in the waitlist of any of these programs you´ll have news soon.
Good luck everyone!

Hey! I was also rejected by UT Austin last night with the same email. 
Hang in there guys! 

Hi Xolo! Indeed, I was rejected by UT Austin last year, so not a big surprise. Anyways, I met this fall a grad student who is now in another university after transferring. She said that the atmosphere there in the department in Austin was horrible, that she had to work so many hours a week that she couldn´t stand it, etc. So not a big deal, I guess. I am only waiting now for CUNY (decisions coming in the following days), UCLA and UC Santa Barbara (these two I´m pretty sure won´t bring good news). 

Hi!
No, that´s fine. Most offers move around the 20K, except for UVA (where apparently money grows out of trees), which offers 26K and UNC, which offers 15K (whaaaat?). 
For those of you thinking of the M.A., I also did an M.A. before applying to grad school (I have the feeling I´m probably a little bit older than many of you) and feel that it helped me a lot to figure out what kind of research I want to do and so on. For me was the best thing to do.

Hi! Yes, that was me. they emailed me yesterday. 

Awesome! Thanks a lot. Meanwhile... Let´s practise patience... Esta es una carrera de fondo  ¡Ánimo!

Hi! Yes, officially April 15th is the last day for students fo accept or reject an offer. Anyways, you can always ask your program! 

Thanks @scarvesandcardigans! I'm sure your research is also awesome! 
 
How is is everyone holding up? Is there any sort of firm universal deadline for us to accept or decline offers of admission?

Honestly, your profile looks very competitive, and that GRE verbal is outstanding for a nonnative speaker. Did you meet anybody during your year teaching Spanish at the US university who could give you more personalized guidance, even if you only chatted two or three times? With a CV and grades like that, I would probably guess that the weakness lay in your statement of purpose and/or writing sample—perhaps your project was too specific, or too general, or you didn't focus enough on fit?

Isn't there any information on the program website about class profile? I'm American so our GPA scale is on 4.0. I have no idea what your GPA converts to. Why didn't they give you feedback? Is it their policy not to? I would try to improve my quant score on GRE if I was you but I'm not sure how important quant scores are for Spanish.
