Congrats to you as well! You got admission to Iowa State U (their TOEFL requirement is way too high for me ><, so I gave up applying). I am interested in second language acquisition (esp. CALL-SLA interface, interaction approach, and instructed pragmatics), discourse analysis, research methods. I think NAU and GSU are particularly strong in corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, so that's why you stand a better chance of admission. By the way, are you an international student or American student? Let's keep our fingers crossed for the other schools we haven't heard back :)!

Hi Larissa, I applied five schools for 2018 Fall admission: 1. University of Hawaii at Manoa, Second Lang. Studies-Admitted (2/23) 2. Michigan State University, Second Lang. Studies-Rejected (I think I was on the shortlist but was rejected; I guessed my TOEFL score is the major factor). (2/2) 3. NAU Applied Linguistics -waiting for decision (they seem to send interview invitations/acceptance in wave. I applied in late Jan. Not sure if it is because I submitted my application late, so they will review my application later. When did you submit your application for this particular school?) 4. Georgetown University-Applied Linguistics-waiting for decision (program secretary told me they hope to communicate decisions in early March). 5. Georgia State University-Applied Linguistics (submitted Jan. 10, but haven't heard back as well ><; When were you interviewed by the faculty?). I think there are other applicants applying to NAU replied to your message in the NAU results page. I did post one message, though :).

Hi Larissa, I also applied applied linguistics/second language studies doctoral programs for 2018 Fall admission. I applied for five schools, including NAU. But so far I received decision letters from two schools. For NAU, I submitted my application in late Jan. but I haven't heard back. May I ask were you interviewed by the entire admissions committee or you were interviewed by professor(s) you are interesting in working with? And may I ask which schools you have received decision letters? Thanks!
