It seems like if you would rather do Arabic, having completed all of the courses at your university would be something in your favor. It could demonstrate your commitment to the language, and the lack of further Arabic courses at your university could be spun as precisely the reason you need an outside program like CLS. You've utilized all of the resources that your campus has to offer, so being abroad in an intensive program like CLS is the logical next step.

It's really impressive that you were an alternate last year! Hope it turns out this year. Thanks for the advice! Their video had some helpful tips.

Hi, all! I was wondering what kind of resources anyone would recommend for the short essays and the statement of purpose? Are your schools' scholarship offices helpful in this regard and/or do they offer access to successful sample essays? Good luck everyone :)

Hello, this may not be the best place for these questions, but I thought a new thread might be unnecessary. I have a few questions for those who are already attending slavic grad programs (and for anyone else in the know): 1. What language are your classes primarily conducted in? I assume Russian mostly, but I was wondering if some of the literature classes skew toward English even though the readings are in Russian. 2. Is anyone attending a slavic MA program? If so, were you able to receive funding? 3. Lastly, most people who pursue slavic at the graduate level seem to want to work in academia, but are there any people out there who are more interested in working in the public or private sectors or, more specifically, in translation? Hope I didn't ask too many questions for my first post; any help would be greatly appreciated!))
