I don't want to put personal details on here, but I will claim it.

good luck! of those i'm also waiting for harvard. they seem to notify quite late.

Which ones are you waiting for, don't hate?

Did anyone actually get into Stanford?

This is taking so long...

Anyone know which departments do interviews?

Yes, I'm in the UK. The fact that Berkeley and Northwestern have come out suggests the flow has started...

Where are you? France, Germany...?...

I'm thinking we're going to have to suffer through at least another week before hearing anything else. My e-mail is my life now.

I think Comp. Lit. applications can be a bit different from English: whereas English is so massive and so unpredictable (departments get between 250-700 applications), it can be wise to apply to more rather than less just in case; many of my friends only were accepted to one or two places out of many, many applications. Comp. Lit. departments tend to get 50-150 applications and so, not to say your chances are higher, but you can usually bet that the applicants are more keen on that particular department to begin with and are not doing the kinds of mass-application dumps that you get with English (also, with Comp Lit you tend to have more focused departments and are looking only at one or two prospective advisors, so there's less of a chance that there are 20 departments with comparable advisors available for you). So no, 8 applications will be probably more than enough.

good luck to you all!

Hello, Is anyone else waiting for Comparative Literature news? I knew the wait would be difficult, but I had no idea it would be THIS difficult. Anyone else playing out worst case scenarios? Laughing at the thought of reading your own application? Unable to read or write properly anymore? Wishing you had spent just a few more hours on the GRE? how are you dealing with this!? good luck to all
