@kaseyr10 I was able to visit a couple of Northwood apartments and they were just fine. As good as (and better than some) of the properties available online right now. Despite the prices, Ypsi is just too far away for me (I don't have a car, and current students warned us against driving from Ypsi given the roads/weather in the winter; the buses from Yspi can get delayed, too. Plus parking issues year round).
Did you have any luck securing a place? *sigh* I still haven't found anything. Several apartment places have written back that they don't have availability, and others just plain haven't replied to me. Ugh! Hopefully we'll have a much easier time next year, but I'm getting quite ahead of myself...

@archimon Congrats on your Columbia news!!

*waves* Soon-to-be Japanese MA student, here! (Curious where you'll be going this summer @Tess94?!)
How is everyone coming with housing? I'm about to email a bunch of places but it's looking like rather slim pickings at this point...I was hoping for a Northwood single but I (foolishly) didn't realize how competitive the process is?

お久しぶり〜Long time no post EALCers!
I hope everyone is doing well and has decided their plans for next year!? I've accepted my offer from U-Michigan and I'm really excited! I went to A2 last week to take part in the visit day and really enjoyed it. It's a relief to finally know where I'll be this fall!

@winterlover How'd it go?!
@hairbrush Hope you find something helpful
-
@hairbrush Welcome! If you search the forums there are lots of past posts about the MAPH program. Since no one else has replied, that might be a good place to start if you're still looking for information.
@winterlover If you haven't heard via email, you should just call the department!

Thank you @spicyramen! Any updates on your apps? Are you still waiting on anyone?
-
Thank you @costevens and @Naito!! I really hope so too. And I'm hoping for more good news for everyone still waiting on decisions this season.
I have also appreciated the camaraderie and support of our thread throughout all of this.

Oh my god, this week is finally looking up!! Just had acceptances from both U Michigan (Japanese MA) and Columbia (EALAC MA)!! I applied for FLAS at Michigan and the results will be out by 3/15, so I'm hoping that application will be successful as well. *fingers and toes crossed* No word on any support from Columbia. I don't think they have much for MA students, but I'm going to look into in just to cover all my bases. I don't want to go into Columbia-level debt, lol, but it's exciting to finally have other accpetances after getting 4 rejections.
Now to wait on funding, and my final app: USC EAAS!

Well, I crossed Harvard off my list today...

Thanks @kotatsumuri! To imagine having to go through this one more time haha...and this waiting game is like an abyss!
Haha yeah...like I said, not ideal but if things don't work out, you'll have time to consider it at least! I've probably said it before but I really wish (more) schools would be upfront about when results come out. They do this evry year after all!

I've also been accpeted to U of A (MA program) and am very curious about living in Edmonton! Really hoping that there are still some people active on here that can share their experience with the city.
-
Congratulations @SUMMER715 and @costevens!! I'm so excited for you guys!!
Now also hoping I hear from them soon too...*nervous*
-
Ooooh!! I see someone else posted a U Alberta acceptance...?! Haven't heard anyone else here mention they applied, but I'm curious as it's a strong possibility for me! I'd love to talk about the program so feel free to join us or PM me if you're lurking
-
Welcome @Math48 and @uniquesnowflake!!
Also, congrats to @lordtiandao on the decision!
It's nearly March (can't believe it). Longing to get my last few results so I can make a decision and be done with this waiting game!!
-
Finally heard from Princeton--no go, as expected, but a very kind email at least. Glad to check another off my list. Zero for three on the PhDs but have yet to hear from 3 more MAs!
Congrats to the Princeton admit from the last day or so! Anyone going to claim that...?!
-
I'm sorry to hear about the rejections
But costevens is right--at least things are moving along! Wish my apps would get moving along some more. Been quiet for a while now...hope it doesn't continue until mid-March...

Welcome @thesiswillbegreat, and congrats on your acceptances!
-
Welcome to the EALC fam, @BagelBabee! Congrats on your Brown acceptance
and best of luck with Columbia!
-
Just heard from UPenn...rejected, as expected! Offered to consider me for the MA, but it's unfunded and I don't have that kind of moolah!!
That was a pretty easy one to take. I'm just glad to be able to cross it off my list now. Bring on the rest!!!
Now...where are those Princeton results?!?!

@kaseyr10 Ugh, that's too bad. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. It's such a time consuming process!!
I'm also looking for a 1BR (or studio, but 1BR is preferable) for this year. I'm going to tour some places next week and I hope that will bring me much closer to having somewhere locked down. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, too. I haven't seen many new listings come up, but once in a while they do so we'll just have to keep at it for now. Good luck!?
