Hey Thanks for replying. That is the exact kind of information I was looking for. I too am entering my last semester of my masters program. My two recommendation letters were from a professor and another professor who is my boss on this grant project, which I was hired for based on my language skills and area of study. I am usually not one to be certain of anything but I really thought I was at least going to get through the first round of these applications. Ah well... guess I will just have to keep studying on my own dime and ask my parents to stop mixing English and Arabic together when they speak with me. Again, congrats to you! Are you doing Middle Eastern history?

hey Murklins did you get an acceptance? Congrats if so... I unfortunately got rejected and am very disapointed to say the least. I applied for intermediate Arabic - I am Arab American and speak well but cannot read and write proficiently. I also am a grad student in international relations with a focus on the Middle East and am working on a peacebuilding grant with Iraqi individuals. I am extremely confused as to why I was not chosen... so if anyone out there who did get accepted to the next round could elaborate on your application I would really appreciate it, especially since they are so vague when it comes to the reasons why. Thanks guys!
