Aun estoy sin noticias de Davis....lista de espera, rechazo, NADA. Me tienen loca. El website tampoco dice nada.

Hola jessiefm, Cuándo recibiste noticias? Felicidades!

Davis aun esta evaluando candidatos.

Pues de Davis no tengo nadita....ni oferta ni rechazo y estoy en california...por eso pregunto!

Proflorax, Congratulations!! I bet you'll have a really good handle on your pick once you've visited the departments. What's your partner's profession? (PS. I lived in DC and LOVED it. It was SO fun on the weekends when all the commuters left. The museums are awesome and there are lots of fun activities for kids. And I say this after living IN DC and commuting OUT to MD....Ugh. The red line was my friend. Traffic is no more a nightmare than it is here in the bay area, but the metro is so easy.)

Hay alguien de los solicitantes de Davis que ha recibido una oferta que también es residente de California?

Felicidades, Yesi, y bienvenida a gradcafe.

Quien tiene noticias de Davis?

Hello, m1k1, I would recommend that you re-post this over in the Lit forum. Even though the fields might be different, I believe there are people in all of those cities/campuses who are actively posting. From my own experience, many people came from Champaign to teach at my BA institution and LOVED the department and city (small though it may be). L-O-V-E-D. I had one prof who'd been in Columbus and she never mentioned it like she did her later institutions. That's about all I can help! Good luck; sounds like you have some great offers!!

Thanks for the site, Rebecca1! I've never used it but would consider adding it here on our campus Language Lab for students to practice.

There could be a whole different thread on ordering transcripts---and having major errors corrected in transcripts!!! I feel you, chron!! Good luck!

Hmm, hmm, hmm. I'm in Spanish and a little geographically bound to CA this year for my husband's work. I plan on expanding my number applications next year to include other regions (assuming that I don't get into the two I'm applying to!)

Con mucho gusto. Mandame mensaje privado...tambien sigo revisando el mio.

Thanks for all the positive comments, guys. I love my life, my hubs, my job's alright.....hell, we're in NorCal. Of course I love the weather. And all the wine. It will be a good year, I was just upset at myself for not allowing more time to work on apps. I'm very overqualified for my current job, so since I missed that deadline, I've had some very positive conversations with the new Dean about expanding my responsibilities, which will happen this week. So, now I don't feel like the year is professionally "wasted" as it was in my despair a few weeks ago. And I was overly dramatic in using that word! What other schools have deadlines in January?

A big fat no. Another year LOST.

The grad. coordinator is really nice and emailed me right away yesterday. The teaching application goes directly to the department, so since I'm local, I'd asked if I could just drop it off. That's when she said they really needed it next month. So, I hope you're right!!

The DGS says to contact the department, which I've done, so I'll just wait and see what they say. Yes, I was already planning on applying for 2 rounds and my GRE SUCKS, so there is a positive side. I know I'm lucky to have a full-time job in education, but there seriously is no career track, so I'm just mad that I created my own hurdle. Ugh. I have 2.5 weeks between jobs this summer and may just do a GRE course and apply for Fulbright.

What a kind reply! I took yesterday off to focus and try to finish. The Berkeley application (for a foreign lit program) is incredibly extensive. You have to provide an SOP, a diversity statement, a 15-20 page paper in Spanish, a coursework outline, etc... THEN if you want to apply for a teaching assistantship, there's a separate application. I don't know how I'd missed just how long it was. You have to record yourself speaking the the target language for 3-5 minutes, which, of course, means you have to write/plan what you're going to say, and then burn it onto a CD. I haven't burned a cd in, ooooh, at least 5 years. So, I'm getting tons of stuff done, right? And then the grad coordinator kindly emailed me to tell me not to worry about the assistantship application til January. I'd managed to expand my 10-page paper to 15, but just this week, I was supposed to meet with a native speaking friend to have her review my foreign language paper---and she had her baby three weeks early! Of course, she couldn't meet. Then my MA advisor disappeared and I had to get another one at the last minute--Wednesday. It's all my fault, really.....I'm working full-time, teaching 2 courses, and commuting an average of 2 hours/day. It's SO hard to manage my "free" time. I did email the department to see if anything can be done. Really, I'm an idiot, because I KNOW that if I'd just uploaded SOMETHING to the SOP and paid the DGS, then the department would probably accept an the final SOP or whatever was missing next week. After all, the department's closed until January anyway! :...( A former professor told me that the biggest hurdle to get into a UC is being a CA resident....well, now I'm thinking the second is just finding the time to get all the application materials together! My other two deadlines are in January and I'm almost finished with the apps and two profs have already submitted their letters. PHEW.

Devastated! Was submitting SOP right at midnight--the last document--and poof! Gone. I'm an idiot. Good-bye, UC-B! See you next year. Changing my work life is now a priority. I haven't been able to dedicate enough time to my future because of the incredibly busy job I'm currently in...that has no career track. What an idiot.

Well, I missed the midnight deadline last night, but I had upload a brand spanking new cv. Great. If you have a resume, just send it in. They won't care!

32 over here.

I'm also interested to know this because although he's in a different (but related) field, my BA thesis advisor is close friends with committee members. He isn't one of my recommenders, although we are still in touch. Mention him on CV or no?

Thanks, LisaJay. I'm reaching the paranoia stage of applications.

**Pardon me posting again in Lit, but this forum is more active** Is anyone else applying to Stanford's ILAC program? The app says, "If the program you selected offers Academic Interest choices, those will appear below. If none appear, you can enter those of your choosing below under "Additional Interests." Additional Interests If no Academic Interests are offered above, or, if you have additional interests, please list them below." Are we supposed to choose from the major/minor areas listed here? http://www.stanford....t/ilac/programs Help, please! Maybe some of you lit/comp lit applicants have encountered this? 0 Quote MultiQuote Edit Blog This
