GRE was a requirement for NAU last year, they removed it this year. None of these speak to the quality of the research and how it matches with what I am interested in for my future studies. I am happy you’re happy! Good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi, I think I got the email pretty fast, which means you might also have the opportunity to take an interview or an offer later. I'm an international student.

I just want to say that I mentioned only one in my SOP, and his field heavily lies in language assessment. If you browse through the faculty list from the webpage, you will definitely find who he is. I didn't contact him prior to submitting the application. Jim VK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AplingPhd24 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Got interview invitation from Iowa State University's Applied Linguistics and Technology PhD program! She said, initial review has been done, and they are inviting potential advisees. They plan to record zoom interview to share other faculties for decision process. The interview will be conducted with two faculties. I will keep posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they didn’t like someone because in my experience a lot of places notify people about a week after an interview if they have been accepted. Bad for someone else but great for you. All my interviews ended with a “we hope to make a decision by the end of next month” which in my experience is a polite no. No other requests came in over the last couple hours so I think that’s the end of the line for me. Best of luck to everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
researteacher Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 UW-Madison SLA program director emailed me to let me know that I am among the few finalists and they are trying to find multi year funding to support my studies, which might not be possible if there is not enough as this will TA stipend. It depends on how many undergraduate students register and whether other departments have PhD students coming in. The email was basically giving me an idea where they’re standing at this time, which was such a relief to know during this radio silence period, even though it might not lead to the final admission. She did mention that the steering committee met last week and have chosen finalists, so whoever is on that list should have been contacted by now. That’s all the update I have for now. Best of luck to everyone during this scary and stressful time. Star2024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to ask if you’ve ever heard back from MSU even for rejection? I haven’t heard back and came to consensus with myself that it’s a no, but I haven’t seen anyone hearing back even for rejection I wanted to ask if you heard back yet.

I noticed that you already had had prelim when you contacted some POIs there and got another prelim invitation a week ago. Were those two prelims different in terms of interviewers? Do you think they sent an official interview offer? I also had a prelim when contacting POI, and heard that he will be in touch during the admission process, but heard nothing yet. Could you please share more of your prelims from UH? Thank you so much in advance, and I hope everything goes well with your admission process!

In terms of Hawaii prelims, I think that my two prelims was similar. I mentioned three faculties in my sop, but contacted only one, and I had prelim interview with him back in november. And my second prelim was with the other two POIs, they asked me my past experiences, future direction and I could ask them several questions, which I think it is quite general. They told me they are currently meeting candidates who they are willing to consider, listing finalist for the formal interview. I think the final interviewees will be notified couple weeks (hopefully this week! But unsure) I will meet faculties of ISU and GSU today and tomorrow!

Fingers crossed for your interviews today and tomorrow! Please keep me posted! My ISU interview went pretty well. I had a chance to talk with two faculties, asking and answering questions about my research interests and future plans at the program. They said if I get admitted, I could work as a TA, lecturing English writing or public speaking courses to domestic undergrad students. It seems that they have a form of instructor training session before working. Final decisions will be released in a month, at the end of February at least. My interviews were recorded and would be shared with other faculties of the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ISU, my interview is scheduled for this Friday. When I contacted my POI earlier last December, I also got the same notice about the funding, that most doctoral students start the program working in teaching assistantship. Anyway, I will also keep you posted on how things go! Good luck to both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have received no updates from GSU. Did your GSU application portal show anything indicating that it is under review? My application does not indicate anything whatsoever, not even stating whether the application is complete or even under review (I applied in late November). Would you please provide information regarding this? Should have I recived a notice on my portal showing that the application is under the review?

I see that the GSU's application portal does not show anything regarding the application process. Currently, my status on the portal is "Submitted." I got PhD interview notice via email from the director of the graduate program, and I was told I would have a 30-minute Zoom interview with two faculties I mentioned in my SOP. I have finished my interview, and they said they are currently meeting candidates and deciding who they will give an admission offer to. So, if I were in your situation, I would like to email the program, even if I could not be informed right away. Hope this help! and wish you the good luck on your admission process!
