Good luck and let me know if you get in :)) How was your interview? The interview was fine! The three faculty members on the call were great, and it wasn't too high-stress or formal, which I appreciated. Really hoping you hear from them soon! And thank you, I appreciate it! This isn't an easy or fun process for anyone ("excruciating" might be the term I'd go with), but it'll all work out in the end. Doesn't mean I'll stop refreshing the app portals and gradcafe every three minutes, but what can one do.

I've gotten into similar Russian/Eurasian studies MA programs at U of Michigan and George Washington University. Just waiting to hear back from Harvard, Yale, and Georgetown now. Which one are you leaning toward? Thank you so much! I will need a full tuition fee waiver and a scholarship to be able to afford my studies, so I’m waiting for the financial aid information. Congrats on your acceptances and wish you all the best with other schools you are still awaiting responses from!

Really banking on FLAS for those schools that offer it (luckily I got it through Michigan, but neither Georgetown nor GWU offer it for Russian/Eurasian studies). Congrats and best of luck to you as well, hoping everything works out for the best!

I was wondering if you'd be willing to share when and how you heard from Michigan about FLAS? I applied for a different language but haven't heard anything, and am getting really antsy.

I was notified via email on Feb. 24 that I was awarded academic year FLAS. It was an unofficial congratulations, and the official letter is still to come. I'm still waiting to hear back about Michigan summer FLAS. Did you apply for academic year and summer, or just one or the other?

I'm already a student at UM (a different department & language, though) and anxiously waiting for FLAS results. I applied for AY only, and this is my first time applying.

Hopefully they just haven't notified folks about FLAS for your department/language yet. Best of luck, I hope you do get it! For what it's worth, it was someone from CREES specifically who reached out to me, so that could be a good sign.
Kalatozov Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Yale just posted their results and I got rejected. @owo37 did you get in?

I think I'm leaning toward either Yale or Michigan at this point, since they offer FLAS and would be much easier financially. Still waiting on FLAS notifications from Yale, though, it's possible I won't be awarded. That's great! Let me know what you decide, I'll be curious to see where you end up. Best of luck with the scholarships and fellowships! Kalatozov 1

Yes, it's an extensive program with a lot of EU grants! Admissions in Europe start later, so I will apply if I don't get into the American programs. Another school is Central European University but not as region-specific as REECA, REERS and CERES but specialisation is possible and the staff is great
