Hi there! I am actually originally American, so I definitely did think about applying to places in the States but decided not to. It is a location preference. I am applying for a SSHRC PhD scholarship, and am in the process of looking at other potential scholarships to apply for. The Rhodes is one I will be sure to look at.

Hi everyone! I have been working pretty extensively on my research proposal for my PhD applications, and am now struggling with writing out the section on my preliminary timetable. I am struggling with what a preliminary timetable should look like for a UK program (which is approx. 3-4 years in length, and research-based). Yes I understand that it is only preliminary, but I've really no idea how many months I should anticipate looking in the archives, for instance, or how many months is reasonable to be working on the first draft of, say, chapter 1. Any insight would be very much appreciated. Let me know if you need any more information about my area of study, etc. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am new to the community and just wanted to drop in and say hi. So glad there is a community like this one where we can all share our ideas and experiences with each other. I am just beginning the process of applying to PhD Literature programs for Fall 2015. Naturally, I am super nervous but also excited - it really seems like just yesterday that I was applying to MA programs, and I cannot forget how stressful that was. Yikes! Best of luck to you all, and looking forward to connecting further as the months go on.
