  1. Thanks Quickthoreau! Love me some Murakami! The wait continues...
  2. Well, I just spoke to the DGS of the only program that I applied to, and I am first on the waitlist. Simultaneous relief and terror. There were four offers made. It feels weird to have one's future hinging on the decisions of four strangers.
  3. Hi, I am applying to CU-Boulder's PhD Lit program for 2014. I'm wondering if I should retake the GRE to up my scores a bit. I graduated from CU this past May with a MA-Lit degree (I wanted to take a little time between degrees) and have begun reaching out to professors for a potential advisory committee, so I should have three strong letters and a well-formulated plan for my oral examination/dissertation expressed in my statement of purpose. My GPA is 3.96, and my last GRE scores (with which I was admitted into the MA program) are Verbal 163 and AW 4.5. Would it be worth it to try to improve my Analytical Writing score? Or are the other elements of the application more strongly considered? Thanks in advance!
  4. CU-Boulder is not sending out a second round of offers until after the 15th! I'm finishing up my MA there and it is my top choice for PhD, but I can't get any info out of anyone in the department, and other offers are on the table. Ahh, so stressful. Anybody in a similar situation or with words of wisdom?
