Congratulations Saurus. So PhD. at Georgetown... It's my dream school. 

Could you share if you got funding? partial? full fund?
Did you contact any of the preferred faculty at first or straight up applied ? 

Thank you! Let me answer your questions one by one:

Funding: Yes, it's a fully funded programme for all 5 years. They have medical insurance (and dental insurance which is super rare).

Contacts: I wrote to three or four people very early on because I wanted conversations, and that was helpful. I had good chats with all of them before applying.

Congratulations on getting into Georgetown!! You will definitely enjoy your time there! Can I ask who is your POI just out of curiosity and also your research interest as well? 

Thank you ahndang6596! I'm interested in multilingualism in pedagogy and policy. Also interested in multilingualism as social practice, and it's linkages with social justice. There are ethnographic elements to my research as well, me being from south asia. My POIs are Dr Lourdes Ortega (who works on ml) and Dr Nicholas Subtirelu (who works on lang policy and justice).
