I'm applying for (mostly) comp lit programs, with a background in English, Semiotics, and Russian. I'll be applying to the following places, but need some "easier" schools that I perhaps haven't thought of. Coming from the University of Toronto, I'm largely unfamiliar with smaller/less prestigious American schools.
Applying to:
Yale (comp lit)
Duke (Literature)
Emory (comp lit)
WashU (comp lit)
Oregon (comp lit)
I've heard some good things about Rutgers, but the fact that it's in NJ turns me off a little. Should I fight against my snobbish tendencies?
Thanks!
