  1. I came to write my last comment on gradcafe as made a final decision and sent out decline letters to other schools this morning!
  2. Yeah I have received the official GTAship offer with funding information and job description from the graduate office. I was told not everyone gets GTAship, so you might want to double check if they’re giving you funding.
  3. I've just got my numbers for NAU this morning, and it is absolutely the lowest I've ever seen around and also I've gotten. I'm going to ask if there's any fellowship or additional stipend available, but I won't be able to take my spot with the current stipend because average rent in flagstaff is literally 1k - 1.6k for one person. I hope it's better for you. Damn!
  4. I didn't ask and haven't received any information on funding yet. I'm going to email them that I'll be waiting for the funding information before making a decision as that is one of the deciding factors for me! Congrats on your admission too!
  5. well I got my last acceptance to NAU just now and that wraps up my applications. I've got four admissions out of five schools I've applied for Michigan State: interviewed but rejected Wisconsin-Madison: Accepted Hawaii: Accepted Penn State: Accepted Northern Arizona: Accepted all full funding but numbers vary. I hope everyone who is still waiting to hear back get good news soon. Thanks for doing this journey with me strangers on the internet! Best of luck to everyone!
  6. Thanks for sharing! I did see the English stipend and was wondering if we’d get the similar amount. I’ll probably choosing PSU is their stipend is at least 5k more than other programs. Cost of living is also the cheapest there, but I’m worried about the weather and the size of town. I’ll need to see. Either way, congrats to your admission!
  7. I’m still waiting on NAU, but I haven’t been able to narrow it down yet. Have you got the funding info? I don’t know any numbers for PSU, so I’ll need to wait to see what their stipend looks like. Please share if you’ve heard any numbers from them! I’ve tried to look for it but didn’t have any luck. In my case, I do need to make a livable wage to support myself and my pup, so I’ll need to sit down and compare different options once I receive information from PSU and NAU. As of right now, I have no idea! Are you 100% accepting PSU?
  8. I didn’t contact anyone prior for PSU. I didn’t even know Dr. Lu was the advisor for technology for language learning until the interview. I’d say his interest is also not 100% compatible with mine, but regardless, he seemed like a great advisor I’ve contacted two PoI back in November for other schools, but none of them were paired with me when I got the interviews. I still got accepted, so I think contacting PoI ahead of time is really unnecessary (from my experience) I think core faculty in the big programs can accept students at any given time. It’s more about whether you pass the committee screening and how your interview goes at the end.
  9. I put technology for language learning and was paired with Dr. Lu for the interview. The interview went great. Their questions were mainly about my research interest and dissertation plan with a bit of teaching experience. They did say many good things about the program, and I did get the positive feeling after the interview because of how they went into detail to tell me about the program and what they offer to their students. I got an informal admission email from the program director just an hour ago, so I think you’d hear from them in the next few days if you got in. Fingers crossed!
  10. I think the individual email might be for those who have been interviewed. She mentioned 200+ applicants this cycle, so I can see they will just send out generic email for the rest. I think there's a really good chance to get the slot if you're on the third!
  11. That means you still have a chance, which is really great! Best of luck on your next steps!
  12. Congrats to you too! I assume your advisor is Dr. Isbell right? My advisor is Dr. Crowther! The decision is going to be soooooo difficult
