  1. Also wanted to ask everyone: do you guys think there are more job prospects with a Comp Lit Phd since potentially one could teach in different disciplines?
  2. Merci beaucoup! Glad to hear your response. Yes I am beginning to make decisions slowly because I know that there are a lot of schools/programs to consider. I love the french language/literature too but am interested in other literatures as well. Thanks for your advice- i will definitely look into the programs in detail. I am only concerned about my GPA since I know that in a lot of "State schools" they just look at your last two years (undergrad), but for such PHD programs as Ivy schools etc...they probably consider your whole GPA right? My concern is that since my first two years weren't that great I might not have a great chance to get in. Even if i am dedicated now. Out of curiosity how many of those 6 schools did you get into? Yes i am exploring the option of writing a research paper while abroad, but I really don't want to take a year off since I already took several years off before to work (and didn't go to undergrad. straight for 4 years). How many years did you stay in Paris? I am here now for a year and my French is improving very rapidly:)
  3. As far as I know all the top schools require Latin, at least 1, 2 semesters. I am currently in France studying abroad and in the French departments here it is the same - latin is required, even for License students.
  4. Bonjour a tous! I am so glad i found this thread. I am currently exploring the idea of applying to french MA/PHD programs and have many questions! So, if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! I am almost done with my undergraduate degree and will be applying for fall 2012...so I have a little time but just want to do my research beforehand. First of all I wanted to ask what everyone thinks of Comparative literature versus 1 lang/lit programs. Do, students often apply to both? I am considering this particularly because even though french has always been my passion, I speak 3 other languages fluently also so the idea of studying several literatures is interesting to me as well. My second question involves writing samples: If I don't have any writing samples longer than 5 pages by the time I apply is it better to apply to MA programs first or do you guys think its possible to get into a good PHD program by sending several. And finally: Just out of curiosity how many of you future French PHD students here are not of french origin or have not lived in france for a significant amount of years? I am always concerned with the problems non french natives might face when looking for a job! Thank you all again!
