Hi,
I did my BA in a top English school and am doing my MA there this year too. I want to do a Ph.D. in Religion (more specifically, Jewish Studies focusing on sociological stuff and women's and children's experience around 500 BC-500 CE; maybe medieval too).
GPA: a First (roughly equivalent to a 3.8/3.9 I hear)
GRE: ---
Schools: Not sure yet, I still have to talk to my professors about which are good for my interests (British terms start in October). The other thing is I'm thinking about telephoning the actual departments at the schools and trying to figure out where I would fit in and where I wouldn't since I don't really want to waste my time or money on bad applications. Is anyone else thinking about doing that too? Thing is, I'm terrified of phoning up and sounding like a total idiot, 'so you errr...like...errr...Jewish, err...stuff?'
If anybody else is doing Religion, or not sure how to pick schools, please reply or PM!
