I think you need to broaden out your applications regionally. Grad admissions is a tricky thing. Also you should consider other areas. I do wonder about your letters of rec. Were they from trusted sources. I have seen the best applications doomed by one bad letter.

One other thing to consider is your line of work. With all of your language capabilities, many departments/programs would love to have you. I bet you might get a full 4-5 yr fellowship. Of course, this might be a change in career path, but in these times, its something to think about.

But FOR SURE broaden your applications regionally if you can.
