I second Cornell. Apply to the Medieval Studies Program, which would involve skewing your application a tiny bit more medieval. Once in the program, you can work on whatever (and with whoever) you want. A lot of Cornell MS people work Late Antique. Latin is important, so the intensive program would be a plus but simply taking a Latin course or two would be fine (I got in having taken only an intensive summer course). For Rebillard, having Greek would be a plus on your application. Kim Haines-Eitzen is another person to look at for Cornell. Also, if you apply to Cornell, email the grad school and tell them you have no money and ask them to waive the application fee---they will. The Toronto Latin exam is no longer required at Cornell. MS students have recently appealed to the department to no longer require GRE. That requirement should be removed by the time you apply. The MS program is very collegial and not competitive at all.

Woo! Great to hear!! Congratulations!!

Hey 'Cat'erburyTales, I just accepted at Cornell! Needless to say, I am beyond excited! So I declined everywhere else last week (this includes taking myself off of the waitlist at UIUC). What about you? Any news?

If any of the University of Arkansas admits have any questions about the program, then please feel free to PM me!

Hey, anliopardsneachta! Where have you applied? I hope you hear some good news soon! Best of luck!

Howdy, Historiogaffe! Just looked at UBC's program, and it looks great! Congratulations! Also, Thank you!

Indeed, I am!

Yes, I have also been placed on their waitlist.

Hey, sstrickland! Congrats on SLU and Rochester! Good luck going forward!

Hey, Gatsby's Ghost! Congrats on your acceptances!!! Good luck going forward!! Hope you won't have to sell any organs . . . Hey, sarabethke! Those are some great schools! I know you probably applied to work with Mary Hayes (b/c of the magic stuff) at Mississippi, but, and you may already know this, Lindy Brady does a lot of really great stuff with multilingualism in the 11s and 12s too! She was the chair of a conference session I gave a paper at, and she also gave a talk on Irish literature at my current university. I was able to talk with her on both occasions and she is just super cool and gracious, and very approachable! Good luck going on the rest of the season!!

Hey, revan! Sorry, which school are you referring to? My last name is about midway through the alphabet . . . if that helps. Congrats on SLU!! What are your research interests?

Hey 'Cat'erburyTales, Congrats on WMU!! That is exciting!!! Yeah, I am waiting to hear from UIUC, UCONN, Cornell, and Stanford. Where else have you applied?

Hey all, I know the medieval thread from last year was extremely beneficial for that cohort (as well as for me as a lurker!). . . Just wondering if there are any medievalists applying this season. If so, what are your areas of interest? Where have you been accepted/rejected? Historically, my research is focused on early Anglo-Saxon stuff, mostly, but I am also interested in Old English/early Middle English in the 12th century. I'm bent toward linguistic-heavy research, but I am also very interested in emotions and cognitive approaches to medieval lit. I have thus far been accepted to SLU and Fordham and have been rejected from Notre Dame and UCLA. Good luck to everyone this season!

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone wants to claim the SLU acceptance? I was accepted to the program earlier in January and my research is in medieval/Anglo-Saxon stuff.
