[Older undergrad just starting to dip a toe into the scene here. Personal spiel / request for advice]

I'm an older grad student. Can't say much about the experience, it's just been fine. Let that be the least of your worries. 

[How to Curb Overambition]

How do you organize all these bits and pieces?

 

I recommend Scrivener.

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

I didn't...

 

Wyatt's Torch, did you apply to the English program? It looks like Comp Lit aren't interviewing. 

[Fall 2015 Applicants]

I got the email, but had the impression from its wording that they sent it out to all applicants. I applied to English, not Comp Lit. 

[GRE Question]

I recommend Magoosh.com. I studied with Magoosh for a little over a month while studying to finish my BA, writing a seminar paper and working (this is just to illustrate how much you can do with limited time, meaning two weeks could still be enough), and I'm very happy with my score. I also started out with Kaplan and didn't find them nearly as useful. Good luck!
