I think I applied primarily for performance studies, with secondary fields in cultural studies and ethnic studies. It was a bit hard to choose, as I recall. Messy interdisciplinary humanities, anyway.

Ditto. Alternate/honorable mention. I hope some of you have good news!

Hi! I did apply to this. I'm not at all sure I nailed the annotated bib myself. But I'm happy to wait with you with fingers crossed. Good luck.

Ishmael! I've also accepted an offer to do doctoral work and Yale, and will be moving with my family (husband + two kids). I'd also be interested in this forum's family-related feedback, but I suppose at worst we can bounce ideas off each other. Will you be visiting at the end of this month? How old are your kids? Mine will be 3.5 and 2. We've only started checking out preschools—some of which have already closed enrollment. I had a recommendation for Creating Kids, which is run out of the Children's Museum. It looks AMAZING, but my husband and I would each have to sell a kidney to afford it, so there goes that. We're actually considering whether a nanny is cheaper, since we'd be paying tuition for 2. I've heard there's a nice community elementary school—I think it might be the one around East Rock, though we haven't worried about it yet, since ours aren't quite that old. As for neighborhoods, I consistently hear East Rock, Westville, Wooster Square. Based on rent prices and the square footage necessary for a family of 4 without asking for divorce, though, we're pondering Edgewood, possibly Dwight (north western areas) too. NO consensus on the internets as to whether these neighborhoods are safe, though. Anyone?
