I am still waiting to hear from two universities: Ohio State and Rutgers. Both of them said they were delayed in their decision process this year and this seems to be a trend on r/gradadmissions as well. Has anyone else encountered this too?

It seems like all of the programs are on radio silence. 😕

This is so much more positive than I would have hoped for! Fingers crossed! I really liked their program design and faculty. Thanks for the update. PS Do you know if they did interviews? It seems like the places I applied this year don't tend to do interviews, so I have been on radio silence for awhile.

Still no word from the programs that I applied to, but last year around the end of this week was when I received news from my current university Temple. Hoping to hear back by the end of the week.

Congratulations! I also applied to Rutgers and have not heard anything. I don't see very much information on here related to their Spanish program here on grad cafe like acceptance or interview results. 😕 Perhaps we'll hear back by the end of the month.

Currently haven't heard from any of the schools that I applied to (Georgetown, Rutgers, Indiana-Bloomington, and Ohio State). I am hopeful that my current school Temple University that accepted me last year for the MA/PhD is able to offer me funding that wasn't available to give last year. Fingers crossed! I do think my mediocre undergraduate GPA from a long time ago is hurting me. Even when combined with my more recent success at Arizona State where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BA in Spanish, the cumGPA doesn't look competetive until you look at how far I came. If nothing good happens this year, I may try again next year once I have my MA and can show a 4.0 graduate GPA. Good luck to everyone!

Has anyone heard any news from their universities? I saw that someone got accepted to University of California on the results page. I recall not being interviewed until the first week of February during last year's cycle.

I graduated with my BA in Spanish December 2022 from Arizona State University and applied for Spanish PhD (Hispanic Linguistics) for fall 2023 admission at Georgetown, ASU, and Temple. Last year I got rejections from Georgetown and ASU in late February with no interviews. I did have an interview with Temple on February 2nd and got accepted without funding February 22nd. They were upfront about not having funding for that admission year during the interview. I was offered a chance to adjunct teach some classes, but both in the fall and spring semester this didn't happen due to low enrollment. Because I do not have funding and didn't receive any classes to teach this academic year as an adjunct, I decided to apply to more programs in the hopes of getting funding. This is my second year applying to Spanish PhD (Hispanic Linguistics). I applied to Georgetown, Ohio State, Indiana-Bloomington, Rutgers, and Temple (for reconsideration).
