Thank you! I think I'm leaning toward either Yale or Michigan at this point, since they offer FLAS and would be much easier financially. Still waiting on FLAS notifications from Yale, though, it's possible I won't be awarded. That's great! Let me know what you decide, I'll be curious to see where you end up. Best of luck with the scholarships and fellowships!

Rejected by Harvard last week, though

Really sorry to hear that, Kalatozov any updates on the other schools you applied to? Which ones are you leaning toward? Yes, I got in
-
Ah, got it! Hopefully they just haven't notified folks about FLAS for your department/language yet. Best of luck, I hope you do get it! For what it's worth, it was someone from CREES specifically who reached out to me, so that could be a good sign.

Hi beagleb! I was notified via email on Feb. 24 that I was awarded academic year FLAS. It was an unofficial congratulations, and the official letter is still to come. I'm still waiting to hear back about Michigan summer FLAS. Did you apply for academic year and summer, or just one or the other?
-
Congratulations! I got in as well, with some modest funding. Was hoping for a bit more.
-
Got it, makes sense - same here. Really banking on FLAS for those schools that offer it (luckily I got it through Michigan, but neither Georgetown nor GWU offer it for Russian/Eurasian studies). Congrats and best of luck to you as well, hoping everything works out for the best!
-
The interview was fine! The three faculty members on the call were great, and it wasn't too high-stress or formal, which I appreciated. Really hoping you hear from them soon! And thank you, I appreciate it! This isn't an easy or fun process for anyone ("excruciating" might be the term I'd go with), but it'll all work out in the end. Doesn't mean I'll stop refreshing the app portals and gradcafe every three minutes, but what can one do.

I could definitely see the West European concentration process being on a slightly different timeline. Since you've already gotten into those other (great) schools, I'd be really surprised if Yale didn't invite you to interview.

Or did you apply for a different program at Harvard (not REECA)?
-
Congrats, those are some stellar options! I assume you had a Harvard interview as well? And what program at Georgetown?

I chose the Russian and East Europe concentration, so that could absolutely be the case. Honestly, no idea how many they typically interview, and again, they may not be done quite yet! I was hoping to ask about the timeline re: results, but we ran out of time at the end of the interview. What other programs did you apply to?

Congratulations, that's awesome! Have heard great things about IU. I've gotten into similar Russian/Eurasian studies MA programs at U of Michigan and George Washington University. Just waiting to hear back from Harvard, Yale, and Georgetown now. Which one are you leaning toward?
-
Since it was only a few days ago, Yale may still be conducting interviews! I got an email from their Programs Coordinator/Registrar on Feb. 25. It was a bit more formal than the Harvard interview and twice as long - there were three faculty members interviewing me. I was actually surprised to get the email since it seems so late in the process, I'd just assumed I hadn't advanced. But overall, it went OK. Have you heard back from any other schools yet?
-
Hey! I had a Harvard interview on January 27 and a Yale interview on February 27. Still waiting to hear back from both. I also applied at Georgetown but haven't heard anything about interviews. Any updates on your end?
