aitmatovfangirl Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Slavic has never been a well represented field on here: but in just in case there are any other 2020 applicants on here I figured I'd start this thread. How's everyone season going? anyone heard back yet? Applied to 8 (NYU, COLUMBIA, BROWN, INDIANA, UIUC, UIC, UOFC, UMICH) heard back positively from 1 so far (UIUC) but that was the first week of january: since then radio silence. how's everyone else faring? im getting antsy + wondering if Brown and Columbia already sent out interview requests?
iamthetrauma Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Hey! Thanks for starting this thread. Nope, still waiting for all the results. I have applied to Princeton, Columbia, UofPitts, UVA and UW Madison. Had an interview with Madison last week, so the final results should be in by the end of this week.
aitmatovfangirl Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 Hey! glad to see someone else. I almost applied to UW/ great & diverse department. Unfort my lack of formal language training left me in the lurch there. What's your field of interests? I've been a bit freaked out about lack of interview requests so far but honestly Slavic always seems to follow its own timeline. Fingers crossed for the both of us. A
iamthetrauma Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Yes, fingers crossed! I'm focusing more on contemporary and late Soviet literature, postcolonial theory and bunch of other theories. What about you? Are you going to ATSEEL next week?
aitmatovfangirl Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) my focus is similarly on late to contemporary + particularly on queer / feminist texts + speculative lit. And I wish! I graduated this semester so unfortunately can't get funding from my school to travel ?to conferences/ didn't bother applying. Still no word. Nerve-wracking. I'm stoked about urbana though. The more i look into their program the more of a perfect fit it feels. Edited January 31, 2020 by aitmatovfangirl
aitmatovfangirl Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) got an acceptance to Indiana this morning. waiting to hear back on funding. no rejections as of yet but starting to assume Brown/Columbia alr emailed acceptances. How've you been faring? Edited February 4, 2020 by aitmatovfangirl
iamthetrauma Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Hey, congratulations on your acceptance to Indiana! And yes, one of my professors is from Urbana, she says it's a great program and she is a great prof too. Oh, don't worry, you will get to travel to conferences during your graduate years. Yep, still waiting gonna have my interview with UVA tomorrow, and I think Princeton has already sent their acceptances too.
aitmatovfangirl Posted February 9, 2020 Author Posted February 9, 2020 thanks! I'm heading there next week to meet faculty. I've been to conferences before (but not in slavic! I'm curious what the dynamics of those are like). How did your interview go?
aitmatovfangirl Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 I think they've already sent out acceptances? The last of my letters came last week:
