AChinLitNerd Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Hi All, Hi all! I haven't seen any threads for the upcoming application cycle yet. Wanna start one so any prospective applicants can have a place to chat, ask questions, and lend moral support. Has anyone received interview invitation? Good luck and cheers, Chris About me: My research interest lies in early medieval Chinese poetry. 2 yrs experience on a research project about Computer Science. Applied to UBC, UNC Chapel Hill.

realninja Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) Is it me or is this forum pretty dead lately, especially when it comes to EALC? I looked at threads about East Asian Studies from prior years and they had hundreds of posts by this point in the application cycle Edited December 30, 2021 by realninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking perhaps people have moved over to Slack or Discord or something for the EALC applicants this year. Do Penn, Cambridge and Princeton have interviews for EALC?

It’s possible that they haven’t begun the interview process yet, but it could also be the case that we’re not on the shortlist. Hoping for the best!
