Athenrein Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Athenrein - looks like we are applying to at least a couple of the same schools! Good luck to both of us! Kira Hall is one of the people I want to work with if I end up at Boulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethrose14 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yale sent me a confirmation letter yesterday. It said that my application had been submitted for review. I was terrified because the subject line only said Yale Graduate School Application Status. Imagine the heart attack! I'm perpetually terrified to open my email haha. Hopefully we'll be hearing soon!

PhDreaming Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 First linguistics related post appeared on the Results Survey. Looks like someone got an invite from UCSC. Congrats to whoever that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athenrein Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'll second that congratulations. (: I hope it means the rest of us will get good news soon too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppPsycholinX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I heard someone already got the interview requests from Stanford and Penn. Is there anyone here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDreaming Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I sure hope thats not true! I mean I good for them, but I have not heard from Stanford yet. Usually they send out invites in early FEB and since they invite everyone to visit campus to pick the final acceptances, it seems unlikely that they would send some invites out before others.

AppPsycholinX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah. I also thought it was impossible to send out interview requests that early (except some UC schools). I did some research on the interview requests on the result board. It seems that all the interview requests of Penn or Stanford are sent out in late Jan and early Feb (even later). Let's calm down. I guess it is just a piece of fake news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinguisticMystic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Nah, my friend had her phone interview (linguistics obviously) with UC Santa Cruz today! Wishing her good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Tall Cappuccino Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Congrats to those who have heard! I also saw that most schools start getting back to the applicants late Jan/early February. THE TORTURE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioalfredio Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well, I feel a little guilty posting good news, since so many of you are still waiting to hear anything, but I'm really excited... I was invited to UC San Diego's Open House! They're my top choice, so I'm pretty ecstatic. I'm not in yet, so I need to practice talking about my research and do additional research on their faculty (read more articles!). I also need to remember to breathe!

PhDreaming Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Awwww... looks like Santa Barbara sent out a little wave of rejection. Man, those UC schools are really on top of their game. Early bird catches the worm? Sorry to those that got rejected (secretly a little glad I didn't apply... one of my friends got rejected - no bueno).

LinguisticMystic Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah, I got rejected, too. Oh well, I have good leads coming in from elsewhere, so I'm not too discouraged. I didn't exactly meet their unofficial 3.5 GPA cutoff -- was just hoping my GRE scores might make up for that. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinguistics Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi linguists! I just found this board during my tedious wait and thought it might be the only way to save my too-bitten nails. I'm waiting on four program applications, and it seems like there is little info available. Are we all INTPs or are there really that few (applied) linguists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabethrose14 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 When information comes out or stress about turning in applications seems to be high then we all seem to come together pretty solidly! I think because there isn't a whole lot going on right now other than the wait- we're all just anxious to post anything other than news haha. But hopefully more results will be rolling in soon so we'll liven up a bit and hopefully get to congratulate each other's successes Where did you apply blinguistics? (nice name, by the way) I had coffee with one of my recommenders yesterday, it was really nice and encouraging to talk to someone who believes in me so solidly. The longer the wait gets the more nervous and less confident I get! But he just believes in me so much that I deeply respect his opinion and hope that others can see the same spark that he sees in me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioalfredio Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yep, the waiting is pretty awful, because there is really not much that we can do at this point. I saw that someone has an interview with Brown, which is pretty awesome, but I'm not sure if it was on the linguistics side or the cognitive psychology side. I decided to take my mind of waiting for results (not!) by going shopping for some professional clothes to wear to the UC San Diego Open house. I'm definitely looking forward to escaping from gray and drizzly Northern California for a couple days. According to the results survey, it looks like Feb. 10th-ish is the time when a lot of results start to come out. Another three weeks. Ugh!

blinguistics Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi Elizabethrose-- I applied rather late to ASU applied linguistics and UW Madison for SLA. I have my MA in Linguistics and wanted to go for a PhD to teach beyond the community college adjunct pool. I feel I should have had a more robust application season, but I just ran out of time on the apps. I see so little info on these programs from the past years' results boards, but it does seem that in three weeks that more info will be on the way. Good luck to everyone!

snoods Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 looks like U Michigan started notifying short-listed people for invite to campus..... anyone else hear anything from them? did anyone get rejected from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioalfredio Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 looks like U Michigan started notifying short-listed people for invite to campus..... anyone else hear anything from them? did anyone get rejected from them? I applied to Michigan last year and I never heard back from them. I only found out that I was rejected by randomly checking the website. That happened to another friend of mine a couple of years before me. IMHO they're not very nice about notifying rejected applicants, so I decided not to re-apply there this year even though there are quite a few people there who I would like to work with. Best of luck to anyone who did apply to Michigan though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoods Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 ohhh good to know..... I have a sense I was rejected as I did not hear anything from them about an interview.... oh well. Right now I could be 0 for 2! ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDreaming Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I had the same result with Michigan when I applied 2 years ago. My LOR writer kept telling me that "no news is (probably) good news" on the assumption that if I had been rejected I would have been notified. Finally in APRIL I got so fed up with waiting that I e-mailed them and I got a really terse response that said something like "To verify your application status, check the UMICH portal." I did. Not surprisingly, I had also been rejected. No e-mail, no snail mail, no phone call... NOTHING. I think they need to figure out a way to change their policy for notification. It seems like most other schools (smaller/more prestigious even) take the time to send out polite rejections early on so as to not string people along. Michigan is such a great program with such great faculty but this definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't reapply this time around... but that's mainly because my interests have shifted quite dramatically. Good luck to any and all who get an interview! And if you are still waiting, definitely keep an eye on the online status. Also... looks like an NYU invite has been posted to the Results Survey - it has begun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
