  1. Hey, you were just being rude. People relied to you are all from top linguistics PhD programs. We are trying to tell you the truth that it is impossible to quantify "difficulty/easiness" of Linguistics PhD programs. A university can not get lots of financial benefits from theoretical linguistics program, not like business, law program. I have to say those schools have linguistics program and fund students are no way easy to get in. I am not trying to be judgmental. But, from your conversation with other people, I could tell you are not fit for PhD program. What do you mean by "I should be a professor" or "I am supposed to do a PhD otherwise I will lose my job". Are you sure you can get back your job after leaving the position for more than 5 years? Do you think international students can have part-time study in the U.S? Are you sure you could be a professor after 5 years' "easy" PhD training? I didn't see any passion from you about linguistics despite your repeated statements of "I love linguistics" "I want to do Phonology". My suggestion: if you do want to get in PhD Program and you do love linguistics, prepare yourself well, Do your current research in phonology, Talk to the professors you would like to work with. Prepare an excellent writing sample in your specialty, FORGET "easy", "less difficult" stuff. Best of luck
  2. Thanks. I might decline the offer. Yes! They did provide full funding to PhD students. I received the mail from Prof. Wilbur to notify me the funding recommendations are being researched. I will be informed what source of funding will be awarded. The Linguistics Program at Purdue is an interdisciplinary program. Most of the faculty members are affiliated with other programs, say, ESL studies, Hispanic Studies, English. They specialize in different topics, including semantics, syntax, ESL, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis. Some professors focus on the studies of American Sign Language. I agree with ray232. The strength of that program is SLS and sociolinguistics/anthropological linguistics. I think the program more concentrated on the area of applied linguistics.
  3. FYI, I received the acceptance of Phd Program at Purdue via email on Feb 29th and official notification from grad school on March 6th. My POI at Purdue is Margie Berns, specializing in World Englishes, Sociolinguistics.
  4. I was rejected by Stanford. In previous years, there were several acceptances/interviews of (Stanford and Berkeley) posted here. However, I did not see any good news this year about these two schools.
  5. Wow~~you got awesome acceptances!!!! CONGRATS
  6. After last week of 3 rejections(Stanford, Berkeley, and UMich) and 1 waitlist (USC), I got an interview from CMU (SLA) just now.
  7. The same here. Got rejected by Berkeley...
  8. Email is deadly silent. Hope that I can hear some good news from the start of Dragon Year.

      silence means yes?

  9. AFAIK, NYU did recruit students without interviews. Fuzzylogician had some nice acceptances without interviews in the previous year. Congrats, txelizabeth. I still hope that UMich would send out some invitations next week. Wait is just awful
  10. I applied to UMich this year. Unfortunately, I didn't receive invite to campus visit. I checked Wolverine Access. I can't get access to it, either. This application system is awful, where status of application materials was never updated. I emailed the department about my application status after a month of "incomplete status". Good luck to those who got interview invite. Keep fingers crossed. Hope that we can hear some good news soon.
  11. Yeah. I also thought it was impossible to send out interview requests that early (except some UC schools). I did some research on the interview requests on the result board. It seems that all the interview requests of Penn or Stanford are sent out in late Jan and early Feb (even later). Let's calm down. I guess it is just a piece of fake news.
