  1. Hi everyone! I accepted my offer to Tulane after falling in love with it during my visit! Will anyone else be accepting their offer?? I’d love to chat about housing!!
  2. For the Iberian and Latin American languages and cultures PhD program. You?
  3. Hey everyone!! Just heard from UT-Austin...I’ve been waitlisted, but I’m still feeling positive! Anyone else hear news? Or better yet....anyone accepted but already planning not to accept the offer?? ?
  4. CONGRATULATIONS! That's sounds really interesting! I'm interested in mourning, memory, and trauma in Colombia and how these themes appear in cultural production. I am thinking about visiting...I live in Colombia, so I'm not sure if I can swing it with the budget they provide. I'm waiting to hear from UT-Austin. If I'm accepted there, then I'll have to check out both schools and do visits. Are you waiting on any other decisions?
  5. my heart goes out to you! sending you strength via the internet! I also wanted to add that Fulbright would be a great option. I did Fulbright for a couple of years, and it was a great experience. Plus, it helps your future applications! Since you already have your masters and some teaching experience from what I can see, you'd be a great candidate. Try to be strategic about the country. Spain for example is highly competitive, so look at countries that have a higher acceptance rate. Brazil would be a great option and might give future applications a new edge. Good luck!
  6. Awesome! Thanks for sharing ? fingers crossed!
  7. UT-Austin Applicants: I just saw a change in my MyStatus portal...a notification at the top that it has been forwarded to the Graduate Committee for review. This is the first time I've noticed the notification. Any applicants receiving news or interviews?
  8. Thank you! I didn’t have an interview, just received an offer from AG and later last night a “change to your app status” email. What is your research focus?
  9. Got some good news today! Acceptance from Tulane! Anyone else out there?
  10. Yeah that's what I figured. I had talked to them before and they recommended the Masters because I didn't have it. I graduated two and a half years ago and have spent these past years on a grant teaching in Colombia...so I haven't been doing academic work in quite some time. I feel the same though... a little bit off-putting.
  11. Just received an email to check my status for UC-Davis...accepted for the Spanish M.A. program! Not really sure how to feel as I applied for the PhD... I feel like it's either a mistake, or they didn't think I was strong enough for the PhD. Anyone else?
  12. Hi everyone! I've applied to UMich (rejected ouch), UCDavis, UT-Austin, Tulane, and Notre Dame. Wondering if any have heard from Notre Dame? I was feeling really positive about my chances, but I saw that someone received their offer on the 30th. I've heard nothing either way. Also, congrats to all that have been accepted to their dream schools! Sending comfort to those receiving rejections ❤️
  13. Hi Vivian2020! I'm new to this thread...currently freaking out about decisions, but I wanted to comment on your post. I did not apply to UVA for grad school, but I did spend my four years of undergrad there. I absolutely loved LOVED UVA and Charlottesville. I never looked at it as a small city because there were always things to do--cultural events, concerts, sporting events, etc. It is a gorgeous area in the Blue Ridge Mountains perfect for nature/hiking lovers. In terms of distance, its about 2 hours from DC which really isn't that bad if you have a car (I made the drive many times as I'm originally from northern VA). There's also the AMTRAC (train), and I think people still do ride shares. Don't cross UVA off your list if you're worried about Charlottesville because it has much more to offer than what you see on just a google search. Also, UVA is a prestigious school and does attract quite a few big names.
