I'm considering vastly different programs to apply to. Has anyone else done this? I know that the most important component of a PhD application is "fit." Is it possible to feel a good "fit" for very different types of programs? Right now, this is what I'm thinking: PhD in Creative Writing & Gender Studies (interdisciplinary) at UIC I have an MFA in Fiction currently, and would love to continue writing creatively and explore the link between narrative and gender PhD in Modern Culture & Media at Brown I am interested in researching all forms of narrative (television, film, theater, literature, etc.) and the interplay between storytelling & identity. I'd like to find a few other programs to apply to, but it seems like there may be types of programs out that that I haven't even considered. Even though I feel really excited about both of these possibilities, I feel a little bit silly applying to such different places with different focuses. Has anyone else applied to very different types of programs? Has anyone else applied to multiple PhD programs at the same location as well?
