What I plan to do may not be necessary for everyone, but I plan not to take any books with me when I move for grad school. It's an opportunity to try and break a hoarding habit.

I never had a professor consider it a chore to send out the letters of recommendation, either by mail or online. I'd say don't risk being suspected for fraud and put your applications at risk for this. Ask your professors.

They wrote "by May" in their previous email, but they were really careful not to commit on a timeline. I wasn't quite sure if that means "before May", or "in May" to be honest. As it happened, it was the last day of April.

Thank you @bezam19!

EMCL+ applicants, check your inboxes! EACEA approved my application, and I will attend

From the admittedly sparse information available online, I think that we are all waiting for the same EACEA meeting mid-May, ie they approval of all EMJMD scholarships will happen at the same session.

My application at RU Groningen finally changed to " Sent to faculty" after a long time. Maybe some good news before the end of the month.

I am applying from Cyprus, what about you? You are the first person I heard applying for EMCL this year, so nice to have someone to share the anxiety with :D

Paralysing even! I can't decide whether I should keep applying to other programmes or wait for a clear answer from this and then decide. Applications cost, sometimes a lot :/ I hope we all have some good news soon!

EMCL+ has also send preliminary acceptance notifications, but their email was carefully phrased not to commit on the issue of scholarships. Anyone knows when EACEA meets to approve the consortia recommendations?

Check your inboxes! Just received an email from EMCL+ saying my application made it into the main list, and I should expect a final confirmation in May.

> especially getting a domain name that is your legal name? This, especially, is also my question. Any downsides of not using your name as your domain name? What if your name is a subdomain? (yourname.somethingelse.com

Thanks! Indeed the Netherlands seem to be a bit reluctant to fund students.

First round of Masters applications finally completed, but I can't expect replies soon. Language and Cognition (ReMa) University of Groningen Linguistics (ReMA) Utrecht University Linguistics: General Programme (MA) Radboud University EMCL+

Hello all, I am wondering what other programmes are there that have heavy focus in Clinical Linguistics research (diagnosis and rehabilitation), be it acquired or developmental language disorders. I know of the following, and if you have experience with them, I'd love to hear what you think of them as options EMCL+ (EU) Uni Potsdam's IECL (DE) Groningen's MA in Linguistics (NL) Utrecht's MA in Linguistics (not as specialised but with some related research groups) (NL) McMaster's Experimental Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics (CA) Some of the things I am looking for in a programme: English-taught (I know some German, but not enough to do academic work in it) Relatively competitive Access to neuroling research labs and/or clinical practice Opportunities for scholarships and/or stipend positions (I'm willing to work hard, but I am reluctant of tying a debt millstone around my neck) My background is in General Linguistics, without a lot of neuroscience, medical science, or statistics unfortunately. But I have some research experience and traineeships in relevant labs. My BA thesis is related to aphasia. My academic performance so far has been near top 1% of my department (I don't know officially). I do not have any publications yet, and no presentations in prestigious conferences. It has its minuses and pluses, so all in all I want to try for competitive programmes and see if I can get in.

I am updating my CV for future Masters applications, and one important change since last time is that I joined a research project with a role with far more responsibilities than previous research experience I have. This project has an interdisciplinary approach, and I am the member of that team 100% responsible for the analysis within the theoretical frameworks of my field. I was invited as a collaborator, and our interactions within the project are horizontal, but as far as I know undergrads are never officially referred as collaborators - that's reserved for doctoral students and up. How should I phrase this on my CV in a way that does justice to my increased responsibilities compared my other Research Assistant entries, but that is not violating academic CV norms?

Yes, EU citizen. Yeah, that's strict ? I work ~70 hours a month parallel to my Bachelors, but it does affect my studies unfortunately, and I don't think I would be able to do the same during a Masters, in a country where I would have just moved to. Option (c) only applies to parents working in the NL, right? Yeah, those are vastly superior terms. Can't compare them to a private loan after all.

https://www.duo.nl/particulier/student-finance/index.jsp Past experiences from EU/EEA students? Considering it is partially a loan, is it significantly better than a private student loan from one's home country?

Good luck to everyone applying for Fall 2019. With exception of the one I already applied to, the other programmes I have in mind will not be accepting applications before February or March 2019. Let's hope I find a way to focus more on my BA in the meantime, instead of manically hitting Refresh on all the uni websites ?

I can't claim to speak authoritatively on this, but I researched SOP norms a lot when I was writing mine, and I had one of my professors review it multiple times. Having a list of references never came up. I think that as long as the attribution is clear, an extended citation is not needed (in the same way extended attributions are not needed in pop-sci/science news reporting and other non academic forms of writing).

Can you work "in the words of X" and similar expressions in the flow of your document?

Hm yeah, in that case emailing Admin feels OK.

I briefly had the same thought, but I decided against it. Submitting a new SOP when the admissions committee has likely already read the old one feels to me to be the worst of both worlds. But if you know that your application is still in the hands of admin and not the academics, maybe it's worth it.

Yup, my EMCL+ application made it out of the initial check and now I have to wait it out. Found this side exactly because I was also wanted to talk with people also giving EM a shot.
