I have been lurking this forum for quite some time now, but I have been a little too nervous with the whole application business that I never quite found the time to communicate with other Grad Cafe members, but I learnt a lot here. Now that I am almost done submitting my documents, I am even more nervous. However, waiting is more painful, since there is very little I can do to kill time.
I am an international student and I don't really know people in this field (English literature) who were recently accepted in US grad schools, so I have very little knowledge about the application process. I have a question about the interviews. A friend tells me that there is hardly an interview session for English PhD applicants during the application process. Is this true?
Happy new year, by the way!
