@Ciboney I ended up doing that! Thanks for the advice. I was told I'm viable candidate for admission but there's not enough TAships available at the moment so I'm on the waiting list. I'm so glad I know! I wish they'd just communicate that instead of leaving it at "awaiting decision" on the portal. Now to see if I actually get off it, which stinks when I also have another okay offer from another school. ? -Charis

Thanks for responding @Ciboney and @Larra88! I emailed the graduate college and he responded within an hour saying that usually programs have several rounds of admissions and that they will probably make a decision within a couple of weeks. I wished I'd emailed the head of the Spanish department now....to email again so soon or to wait... ?

Hello-you’ve heard back from Urbana-Champaign? Any idea on if I haven’t heard from them, that means no...? I guess I should email them....? thanks ??

Holaaa, ¿Alguien ha hecho su Máster en España? Me estoy preguntando cómo van los programas, si puedo estudiar literatura española, etc. Si sí, ¿me puedes contar a cuál universidad asististe u cuáles son muy buenas para poder estudiar eso? También, ¿cuántos estamos esperando una respuesta de UIUC? ✋ ¿O información acerca de un TAship? Yo pensaba que iba a recibir esa información al mismo tiempo que me aceptó una universidad, pero no...me está quitando la ilusion! ¡Mucho ánimo!

Hola! This is my first time posting after lurking for quite a while. I was wondering, do you guys have preferences for a large/small program? So far the 2 MA programs I've gotten into have 10-15 students between the MA and PhD program. One of them only has 1 current MA student. Has anyone heard anything about pros or cons of this? I was so surprised because they're large state schools, so I assumed there would be more students. I'm not looking for a huge social life within my program or anything, but I didn't know if it'd be lonely or disadvantageous to be the only MA student, or maybe there's some kind of benefit to it. Any insight anyone has gained somewhere would be so appreciated! My extensive google searches have brought up nothing. I'm still waiting on word about funding from them both and to hear about admission to a larger program, so we'll see. Just for fun I'll share, I'm interested in contemporary peninsular Spanish literature. Thanks for any info and buena sueeeeeeerte a todos!!
