BROWN COLUMBIA HARVARD JoeySsance, PhD NYU hcohu, MA in French Language and Civilization, NYU in Paris PRINCETON UPENN I'm happy to answer questions about the application process for NYU's program, Columbia's (MA in French Cultural Studies in a Global Context), and Middlebury's (MA in French), as I was accepted into these three programs. All the best to everyone!

Thanks Ouibeque and Joey for your replies! I received an acceptance e-mail from Columbia this past Wednesday, then one from NYU the following day, so it's been quite a week! While Columbia was my first choice program, they offered me no merit aid, so I'll be accepting NYU's offer instead. I don't feel bitter at all about turning down Columbia's offer, as NYU offered me a full tuition scholarship, which I believe is worth at least $32,000, if not more considering how tuition rates keep rising year after year! I feel pretty confident about the overall quality of NYU's program, but I'd love to hear what you, Ouibeque, thought about your experience as an undergrad in NYU's program! I don't really have any specific questions for you, but if you could let me know what your overall impressions of the program were, I'd really appreciate it! I hope all is going well for you guys at this point in the application season...

I'm not entirely sure if my comment is germane to this discussion, as from what I can tell most of you applied to Ph.D programs, but I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who's applied to French M.A. programs. I've applied to NYU's M.A. program in Paris (Language and Civilization), Columbia's French Cultural Studies in a Global Context program (which is also in Paris), and Middlebury College's Paris-based program. I've been accepted to Middlebury, but am still waiting to hear from NYU and Columbia. I had a phone interview with a NYU professor last week, but I won't hear back about their decision until the end of March. So, am I the only one out there applying to these programs? I'm pretty set on pursuing my M.A. in Paris, as I spent very little time abroad as an undergrad. Perhaps I need to start another thread, je ne sais pas...
