I applied to the MA. Absolutely no word. Getting anxious. I know, preaching to the choir.

I have also applied to the Master's (the joint women's/gender studies MA) and have not heard anything as of yet. I was in contact with the English department on Monday (they needed me to resend my writing sample) but absolutely no word about decisions.

Totally sharing your frustrations. Some of the content was SO trivial. I felt like I was taking a qualifying exam to appear on Jeopardy. Zero questions on Homer, maybe like 2 on Shakespeare, no "A list" appearances, etc. Good question about percentile ranking. I'd also like to know this.

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of narrowing down my program selections and I am having difficulty distinguishing the many University of California [blank]s. It seems that they are all ranked fairly high, with UCLA and Berkeley at the very top (if I'm not mistaken). Can you tell I've lived on the east coast my whole life?? I want to apply to Masters and PhD programs in the subfield of Modern American lit, with an emphasis in gender studies and critical theory. Is my best option to find faculty bios and course offerings that match my interests most closely? Can anyone from these schools/ applying to any of these schools help me out? Thanks!
