Asian Studies


Recommended Posts

Hi!

I applied to South Asian languages and civilisation at Chicago. No word yet.... expecting a NO, in any case...

Which Programs did you apply for????

I applied to East Asian studies programs. The longer I wait, the less hopeful I become. The schools I applied to are Stanford (yeah, right!), Ohio State (possible), Michigan (unlikely), Duke (I am from the South) and Penn (they seem unorganized). So, here I am waiting for responses which will essentially dictate my plans for the next school year (I am a teacher who might or might not renew a contract). Good luck to you. Did you apply to any of those programs?

Penn PhD EALC--accepted (the profs have been great, but otherwise seem disorganized)

Harvard MA RSEA--accepted with tuition / fees funding

Any inside dope on these program?

schoolisfun, I got into the Harvard MA RSEA as well, with tuition/fees funding just like yourself. How cool ~

What's your concentration? Mine is pre-modern Korean history, particularly the late Choson era. Definitely, I will choosing Harvard. The only other program I got into was UCLA's ALC Ph.d., but they did not offer any funding. Pretty excited - the Korean history professors at harvard match my interests pretty well, and their East Asian collection is second to none in the US (one of the few that actually has its own Korea secton!)

Perhaps I will see you there this fall - cheers.

Hey guys, I will start to apply for EAS MA programs (2008) this year. Schools I'm interested in are

Harvard, Duke, Stanford, and U of Washington...

Questions for Schoolisfun and Bahisaay...I heard roughly about 150 people applied to Harvard for RSEA AM.

So which evaluating criterion did you find most important? (State of Purpose, Writing Sample, GRE, GPA, Recommendation

letters..) Thanks a lot!

Ahh, I guess guys like mungdaddy, Schoolisfun, bahisaay will never come back to this thread.

So let's start our own :)

Are you applying for East Asian Studies (EAS)? If so, which schools are you interested in?

And what is your major at this moment?

Me: political science major, interested in Harvard, Stanford, Berkeley, UW...

Hope to see your replies soon!

Cheers, arc.

Has Anyone started hearing for this programs for 2008-09? I just heard from RSEA at Harvard and I was accepted but with no aid or funding -- I'm pretty bummed about that since its my first choice but I doubt I can afford to pay my way, unless I maybe get the Boren fellowship I applied for. Still waiting on Stanford, Yale, Columbia for MA East Asian studies.

Anyone else applying or heard from anywhere?
