from the Director: "...Now, I happen to know from your post thegradcafe.com that you have apparently already decided between UPenn and NYU as you choice of PhD program; however, I would recommend that you give the University of Toronto another look."

Yeah, spitz and dilly-dallier, let's study at NYU together XD~~

just got an admission email from Cornell, if you guys also applied for Cornell, you can check your email box now.

I'm posting my background here... MA in Linguistics from a well-known university in Taiwan. GPA: 90.29% (3.91/4.0) for MA, 86.43% (3.82/4.0) for BA GRE: 660 (94%) 790 (91%) 4.5 (67%) TOEFL: 107 Writing sample: MA thesis (inner aspect), working paper (applicatives), term paper (Austronesian languages) Two linguistics related awards, 2-yr RA and 1-yr TA experiences Applied: UMich, Mich State, UT Austin, Arizona, UPenn, NYU, Georgetown, Ohio State, McGill, Toronto, UBC, Delaware, Maryland Accepted (by order): Georgetown (declined), UPenn (interviewed by Embick and Legate, Benjamin Franklin Fellowship), Ohio State (5-yr full funding, declined), Interviewed: NYU (Kayne and Harves), Delaware (withdrawled), UMichigan (withdrawled) Rejected: Maryland (I guess cuz I haven't heard anything from them) You may wonder why I threw so many applications. Well, thats because my friend applied to 6 programs last year, all rejected. So I thought this was tough and was kinda worried in the beginning. But, things have been going far more smoothly than I thought. And I regreted that I didn't even tried MIT and UCLA... I'll choose between UPenn and NYU. Good luck to everyone.

One potential professor email me to tell me that I am admitted. 107 applied to OSU this year, among which 10 are admitted.

yeah i was interviewed by David Embick and Julie Legate. That was my first interview and I was very nervous and didn't perform very well. I even emailed to Embick two days later to tell him that I'd like to work with him very much, but he just gave me an obscure reply and i thought it was over.

just got an email from Gene Buckley telling me I got the admission to Penn. Anyone else applied for Penn too?

going to talk to Kayne and Harves in four hours, nervous~~~
