  1. I don't have a shot there either! It's still fun to buy a lotto ticket every now and then though.
  2. That program does sound great, as does their prison teaching project. I would kill to be a part of that, but sadly, I don't think I have even the slightest chance at getting accepted into Princeton.
  3. Hi! I am also having this crisis; I'm unsure as to whether an English or Comp Lit department would be the better fit for my interests. My dream has always been to go to Columbia. One of the (many) reasons why is that their English department places a strong emphasis on transnational literatures. Also, the students there do their first year of coursework in English and earn a MA, but if they are interested in Comp Lit, they then decide whether or not they want to move to the Comp Lit department for rest of their program. Alternatively, they can continue working in the English department, while also pursuing a certificate in Comp Lit. This latter choice would probably be the better fit for my interests; but the ability to switch to the Comp Lit department in the second year is really attractive to me. I like that the students get a strong foundation in graduate (Eng Lit) work before making the decision as to which department would best support their research moving forward. I'm going to apply there, but getting in is obviously a long shot. If they exist, I'd like to apply to other places that are structured similarly. Does anybody know of any programs that are setup like this or similarly?
