  1. Thanks! I really appreciate your advice! I have no idea why I didn't realize before that I should be a lot more specific in my personal statements. Unfortunately, Gallaudet University requires prospective graduate students to be fluent in ASL by the time they apply to the program. I'm at an intermediate level at best... UCSD is definitely one of my dream schools! I checked out their program and it's just impressive. I'm just worried that I don't stand a chance in the admission process. I know that the most important factor is to be a good fit for the department but a teensy part of me is dying to know how many people usually apply. Just to make sure I'm not only applying to programs that are out of reach. Unfortunately, very few schools seem to publish admission rates.
  2. Hi there, I'm going to apply to MA and PhD programs in linguistics for fall 2018. Since May I've been constantly revising the list of schools I want to apply to and still haven't come to a final decision. At this point, I might have done too much research on too many different programs to keep track of all the options. I'm completely confused and need advice! As writing my SOPs is on my agenda for August, I'm desperate to settle on a reasonable number of schools ASAP! I'm particularly interested in First Language Acquisition, Cognitive Linguistics, and ASL. Which schools are specialized in one of these areas? I feel like a lot of programs offer Language Acquisition and Cognitive Linguistics as possible areas of specialization. Are there any schools that are particularly known for expertise in one of these fields? Any suggestions or recommendations? My GPA is 3.8, I have a little bit of relevant research experience, and spent a year studying abroad. Because of my lack of research experience, I don't think I should shoot for the most competitive programs. Thanks folks! Your comments are highly appreciated!
