snoods Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I think GTown was replacing a sociolx prof. Not sure of the details. They lost Podesva back to Stanford somewhat recently-ish, so perhaps that makes sense. Some news! Please! Soon! hhahahaha
LinguisticMystic Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Got an admissions recommendation from the English linguistics MA program at UW Madison. Can say I honestly wasn't expecting that so I'm kinda pleased. Woo.
busbus Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Took a while, but I finally heard from UMass Amherst. And it's a rejection. Ah well. Two more schools to hear from!
Ling304 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Oh, bummer. I thought the fact Northwestern sent some rejections but haven't decided regarding my case was a good sign. Apparently it wasn't. Well, the interview with Yale is today, and Yale was always a favorite, I hope it will go well
cunninglinguist Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Took a while, but I finally heard from UMass Amherst. And it's a rejection. Ah well. Two more schools to hear from! Same :-\ Boo!
KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 @ those who applied to Boulder. I got my admission decison on the 22nd of March last year. So, be patient. I was admitted to an unfunded MA program, although I applied to PhD program. The first line was "Your application to the graduate program in the Department of Linguistics could not be considered for the Ph.D. because you do not meet the prerequisites for admission". It was kinda painful, since I really wanted to get into PhD program....However, it was the only school I applied to.
Robertpt Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Finally saw some light after several rejections (I know for a fact that NYU'S rejection is on the way, my friend there said they only accepted one P-side person this year). Just got a mail by the director also my POI from Rice saying I was currently waiting-listed, but they "were authorized to accept only four people this year initially". I don't know what that 'initially' means, and I am not even sure how to reply the letter. Looks like the chance is still slim and I don't want to put my hope too high. But it's good to get some recognition after all The weekend is coming :/ Have a relaxed one and hope to hear more good news from you guys next week!
elizabethrose14 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 That was my NYU rejection :/ From what I gathered from the e-mail though it said there was a large and highly qualified applicant pool this time around, and from what everyone's been saying, they don't accept many anyways. I guess the department comes out and says that upfront though- from my experience they're super straightforward! Oh well, at least I was kind of prepared for it- I knew they didn't accept many and it wasn't my best fit for a program. And there's still 5 other schools so I'm not worried yet!
LinguisticMystic Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Yeaaahh, I'm on the wait list at Rice, too. I'm taking it as good news, but I'm not sure how ecstatic I want to allow myself to get over it. Hah, it's tricky. Considering I don't have an undergrad degree in linguistics & my GPA is pretty meh, I wasn't even sure I'd get any kind of good news from the PhD programs I applied to. I'm going to stay positive! Woo!
elizabethrose14 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 That's how I feel! I'm not really expecting any good news from my PhD programs, but banking on my MA programs.. the undergrad in Spanish is ok I guess.. we didn't have a linguistics program :/ I have a feeling I'm gonna be waiting for a while though!
Reddawg50 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Good luck, Ling304, and everyone else! @Red: I know! It was super tough choosing a time, so I'm getting someone to watch my class during that time on Friday. I'll let you know how it goes! how did it go!?
snoods Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 not my news-- but I know someone who was accepted to Pitt's MA/PhD program ....for those wondering about Pitt.....
elizabethrose14 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Dang.. I'm still waiting on Pitt.. but I applied for the MA...
Reddawg50 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 accepted to Columbia (teachers college) for applied linguistics, although as a Masters of Education not the Doctorate. which is perfectly fine except now I'm concerned about financial aid... we'll see what happens there. but at least it's a concrete option!
Triple Tall Cappuccino Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 @Red! Sorry, I was gone for the weekend. I think the interview went well. It was with 3 of the faculty, not bad. You? Congrats on the Columbia acceptance!
AppPsycholinX Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 accepted to Columbia (teachers college) for applied linguistics, although as a Masters of Education not the Doctorate. which is perfectly fine except now I'm concerned about financial aid... we'll see what happens there. but at least it's a concrete option! Congrats, Reddawg50
funology Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Appears like the Chicago decisions were in fact made a while back. I emailed my POI as I was making travel plans and got rejected.
snoods Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 huh about chicago.... i wonder if there's any official news out?
elizabethrose14 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I haven't heard anything official from Chicago.. I haven't sent a letter to my POI yet either, though. Maybe we'll hear something official soon?
Robertpt Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Like about two weeks ago my friend received a mail from her POI in Chicago saying they couldn't accept her this year. So probably they had the results for quite some time already. Not sure why no news so far. Edited February 21, 2012 by Robertpt
snoods Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 huh. I emailed the general humanities admissions at chicago and said another two weeks maybe.... sounds like no one knows! I dont' want to email and 'bother' my POI .... i'm sure i'll hear eventually! don't have high hopes for chicago as it is :/
Reddawg50 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I just realized--- both of the people who said they got/heard of a rejection from UChicago are international. so maybe they've only decided/communicated to those students.
funology Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 @Reddawg50, each of us emailed our POI. I think the fact that we're international is besides the point
Reddawg50 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 UofC doesn't offer admission to grad students that it can't fund, and funding for int'l students is separate and more limited
