  1. I'm deciding between two schools for my PhD in Hispanic Literature, and I'm completely caught in the middle. I'm mostly posting this to help myself process, but would love any advice or input you could give! "School A" -large public research institution -where I got my BA -top notch faculty (I don't love the whole department, but I love the faculty in my particular field) -fully funded with first-year fellowship; would have to TA the rest of the time -exciting possibilities for interdisciplinary work I want to do in other depts -cohort would be around 10 students "School B" -a wealthy private research institution (not Ivy League, but on par). -was offered extremely prestigious fellowship (full-funding, excellent stipend, no teaching duties for 4 years) -faculty good (but I don't think they're as well rounded as at School A) -supportive in terms of mentorship and job market preparation -would be a new experience, getting to know a different dept in a different part of the country -cohort would be 4 students In short, my biggest selling point for School A would be the faculty in my dept (and in other depts) and the exciting research being done in related fields in the Humanities; School B is attractive mainly because of the fellowship and the chance to do something new. Thoughts?
  2. Hola amigos, Congrats on all the acceptances, and for those who are waitlisted mucho ánimo! Since I last wrote, I've heard good news from Indiana, WashU, and UCLA. Generous funding packages, nominated for top fellowships. I've also been busy traveling along the East Coast visiting Brown, and interviewing Princeton. Now, I'm just waiting on Harvard... I thought applying was hard, but the decision's going to be even harder. Can I please just go to all of these wonderful places?!
  3. He solicitado una plaza en el Spanish & Comp Lit Joint program de WashU pero mi departamento principal sería Spanish. Mi carta viene del programa de Spanish también. No, soy estadounidense pero estoy viviendo en España por un año
  4. Si! Acabo de recibir mi carta de aceptación hoy! Y tú?
  5. Enhorabuena SDB!! Ayer tenía una entrevista por skype con WashU in St. Louis. Era muy informal; hablé del trabajo que he hecho en mi senior thesis, y también hablábamos en general sobre el programa de WUSTL. Fue muy bien El domingo voy a los EEUU para mis visitas con Brown y Princeton. Os contaré cómo van
  6. Hi everybody! I've been following this forum recently, and I'm pleased by the amount of encouragement and support I've found in just this short time! I've decided to finally come out of hiding and introduce myself. I graduated with my BA in Spanish and Comparative Literature last June, and have applied for my Ph.D. in Spanish this cycle. I am interested in contemporary Latin American literature and globalization. I recently received an in-person interview at Princeton (they're covering the travel expenses!) and today, an official acceptance from Brown's Hispanic Studies Ph.D. Program. I couldn't be happier! Best wishes to all, and I hope to hear of more acceptances from everyone real soon! Un abrazo
