1) I'd be wary of assuming you can get your PhD in the minimum number of credit hours listed. Make sure to look into the processes of exams, etc. there and make sure you know it would be doable in the time frame you're hoping.
2) Some PhD programs won't accept applicants who already have a PhD in any field. Check this out if you're committed to your ling PhD in the future.
And congrats on Indiana! That does sound like a kickass place to be. Would the support come anywhere close to supporting the cost of living there? (Example: most chem grad students at UW and other comparable schools make 20-30% more than I do at UF, but Gainesville is hella cheaper than Seattle or Denver or Southern CA, such that I have way more expendable income than they do anyway.)
JHU is stupid with replies. I was so angry about last year... clearly I was on the waitlist and they wouldn't tell me so, and I had to accept another school's offer before they sent out their decisions. Jerkfaces. I hope they treat you better.
