Hi everyone, 

Is anybody else applying to EALC programs this year? 

Good luck everyone!

[wanlichangcheng]

Hi everyone! I'm applying (again--this is my third attempt). Good luck!

Hello, has anyone heard anything back from Stanford?

I applied to PhD program and would like to know if they already sent out the interview invitations.

I didn't apply to Stanford, but I have gotten an interview from Princeton EAS for PhD if anyone was curious.

Hi Ralstini, 

May I ask what your specialty is? Did you get an interview with your POI or committee? 

[HashirEEEmerosu]

Stanford EALC doesn't seem to do interviews, but I guess Princeton is likely to send out interview invitations sometime this week.

I chose Chinese History, focusing on the Song. I received an invite to interview with POI.

Hi onf, can I ask what subprogram you're applying for?

Here again! Second attempt for PhD application this year. Had two interviews with Princeton last year but it seems that this year they aren't even willing to give me a second chance. TT

Sorry for my late reply. Yes, I am an international applicant. Wish everyone best of luck!

applying for master program in premodern Chinese literature here! Wishing everyone best of luck! I'm so stupid that I totally missed Cambridge's funding deadline...really really mad at myself

Hey! Just curious, what subfield did you apply for? I believe first-round interviews are still being sent out depending on who you have conducting them

Hi, I also applied to multiple Korean language and culture programs this year as an international student from Korea

Nice to see someone also doing Korean studies; I haven't seen many on this site. 

It's my first year applying straight from undergrad but I'm hoping to get at least some experience with interviews!

I'm also glad to see many applicants to the Korean literature and culture subfield.

I haven't gotten any interview requests yet, but good luck to everyone!

Hi Awn, are you an international student as well? Which programs have you applied to if you don't mind me asking.

It looks like there's insurgence in Korean programs of recent. Are you applying for MA or PhD from undergrad?

Hi, I applied to ten PhDs and one MA (for UToronto, because they usually require a MA for PhD). 

A couple of professors I consulted at my study-abroad school in the States thought that I should just apply straight to a PhD.

I might apply for an MA in Korea in the spring depending on the results of this application cycle since admission and funding are very competitive. 

Best of luck for everyone! The application process was (still is..) tough but I think I learned a lot from this cycle

yes, I am an international student with MA. I applied for about 10 programs including Stanford, USC, WashU, Chicago and Columbia.

Hi everyone, I’m applying and my research focus is pre-modern Chinese literature. Just wondering—has anyone received interview invitations for the AMES (Chin studies) MPhil program at Cambridge? I know guys who chose the modern pathway received invitations from their pi before Christmas, but those who went for pre-modern (including me) don’t seem like have received :(

[Awn]

seems like WashU and Harvard are interviewing already.

[HashirEEEmerosu]

Hi Awn! I heard from my friend who got an interview with WashU that interview invitations were sent out only to those in the China study applicant pool, so don't worry too much (I learned from your posts that you do Korean literature). Let's just keep waiting. Finger crossed for everyone!

Is it true Stanford doesn’t do interviews? Seems strange?
