@karishma_imran here is information about admission, which includes info about funding: linguistics.ucla.edu/graduate/prosp…

@LinguisticsUcla I want to get admission in phd in linguistics so how can you inform me about admission.

admission to our PhD program is highly competitive, and we can only admit around 10% of applicants. here are some tips to make sure that your application showcases who you are as a linguist and how you'd succeed in our program 🧵

need-based application fee waivers are available to US citizens and permanent residents. unfortunately at this time, the university does not allow the department to waive fees for prospective international students grad.ucla.edu/admissions/faq…

remember, your application consists of the following: -the SOP -writing sample -transcripts (mailed by Jan 31) -3 letters of reference -TOEFL scores for international applicants (some exceptions) -fellowship application -we do NOT require GRE scores -application fee ($135-$155)
