KWIKKI Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Hi! Has anyone applied to MSU PhD Second Language Studies or Carnegie Mellon PhD Second Language Acquisition programs?
haleyww Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Hi, I've applied to CMU's SLA phd program. haven't heard anything yet...
KWIKKI Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 Me neither Let's keep waiting....This is my dream school! I really hope I will be accepted.
SLAhopeful Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Have you guys heard anything yet from CMU? I had an interview three weeks ago.
KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 I did not have any interviews. I assume this is a rejection... It was my dream school!!!! So sad...
hoviariel Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Either rejection OR waitlist OR too good to get an interview
KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks for being positive, but their website says: Have a telephone interview with a program faculty (after submitting the application, those candidates who pass the first round of selection will be interviewed at the request of the program)
SLAhopeful Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I was contacted and an interview was requested approximately 5 days after the submission deadline. I was told in the interview that there were only 3(!) spots available this year. Yikes.
KWIKKI Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Yes, I know that. I contacted the program director before I applied. Well, I thought I had good chances...
hoviariel Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Why the hell won't these bastards just post their 'to be admitted' quotas on the site?!
haleyww Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I did not have any interviews. I assume this is a rejection... It was my dream school!!!! So sad... Me too. looks like an rejection. Sad...
SLAhopeful Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Just got an e-mail for an interview with UMD. Anyone else hear from them?
Voulez-Vous Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 I applied to both MSU and CMU. I was rejected at MSU but they encouraged me to apply to the German department there instead, which I didn't do. I have heard nothing from CMU, but I never had a good feeling about it. I had a lot of trouble with their online app, and was told this was the first year that they had done the applications online. I always love being a guinea pig - NOT.
KWIKKI Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 I agree! Their online application was terrible! I had to contact their coordinator every time I had a trouble. Besides, my recommenders could not submit their letters, because the link they got was broken. I was very angry when I found out that I could not track my application after submission, although their FAQ section said that I could do it...
SLAhopeful Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Just got an e-mail from the coordinator. Wasn't accepted.
