Spanish Graduate School Admission Results

1st on waitlist for Hispanic Linguistics Phd program

Ignore \"official\" acceptance. Was contacted today notifying me that I am on a shortlist to be admitted to the department pending continued interest in the program and the number of offers the department is able to extend. The official word would come soon from this point, however I have already accepted an offer elsewhere. It is worth noting that this timeline for a second round of acceptances is in line with what is written on the department website this year, 2023: "The Department will contact selected applicants for interviews in February. Final decisions will be made in March and April." In this admissions cycle, interviews were announced on January 27th and occurred in the first two weeks of February; initial acceptances and rejections were made in early to mid March following an open house for select finalists in the first days of March; finally, the second round of decisions was communicated to candidates such as myself in early April. While this has been a very long process, I suggest future applicants who may look at this page refer to the following: as the information was consistent. If this is absolutely your preferred program, refer here and remember that there ALWAYS can be movement at the end of an admission cycle.

E-mail to check portal; rejected without interview.

To the poster below: Thanks for your response, that's very helpful. Interesting that they hosted the visit but are still in the process of making decisions. I still haven't heard yet (I was interviewed by the DGS and one other faculty member). Good luck to you!

To the below poster, I am in the same boat as you. I was interviewed in early February, was not invited to the "campus visit," and also received no waitlist as someone else seems to have last Monday. I formally contacted the DGS, who responded to me last Monday (the day when decisions had been e-mailed out to the admitted and waitlist poster) that they were still in the process of making decisions (paraphrasing here from Spanish). I am personally assuming rejection at this point and hope we find out soon. My suspicion is that the "campus visit" included a subsequent interview and the waitlist poster was waitlisted after the campus visit interview. I say this in part because my interview did not include the DGS and had only 2 members, which is highly irregular for any final interview. We must continue to wait and see, however.

Has anyone received a rejection from this program yet? Interviewed in early February, was not invited to campus visit, wondering if I should assume rejection.

No interview, so I had already assumed it would be a rejection.

Interviewed on Jan 31st, got a phone call today from Graduate Studies Director letting me know I got in!
