  1. Hi Racataca, McGill University - Dominates the centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music - http://crblm.ca/ - this is the largest network of people working on the intersection of music, language and cognition. I don't know if you'll find a larger concentration of people working in your field or specifically interested int he neural correlates between language and music cognition. Caroline Palmer is a psychologist there who works on prosody and sequence production in music and language. However, the Dec 1st deadline for Psychology just past. If you speak French you can also access the CRBLM through the Université de Montréal and Université de Quebec a Montréal (UQAM), or in English through Concordia University - though only via Psychology since there is no PhD in linguistics at Concordia.
  2. It is also important to consider that even if your PoI is punching for you, you still may not be accepted to a program if the rest of the ad comm is not interested. I interviewed at a school last year and had a lot of good conversations with my PoI over the course of the weekend and a good interview. But in the end I was not accepted. There are any number of parts of my application that may not have been attractive to other faculty members. So, while it is often necessary to impress your PoI, it is definitely not sufficient.
  3. Yeah I am in a similar boat. And I really don't know what to do. But I also have been putting off contacting a PoI from a school I interviewed at last year - the interview went very well but obviously I was not selected. Anyway, now I just submitted a application to the same program and I don't know if I should contact them now. I have a pretty cordial relationship with them but even so what would I say. "Hey, I've reapplied. I should've let you know sooner, but . . . well. . . erm . . . this is awkward." bluebird1, I would suggest contacting them if you can think of a good reason to do so. There should be good context for your email, so it doesn't seem like just a heads-up. For example I should have emailed my PoI ages ago to ask if it was kosher to reapply.
