[Emailing POI]

Thanks! The website really helped. I'm working on the proposal now and am hopefully sending it to England within the week. I think that should be an appropriate amount of time to polish it. 

[Emailing POI]

Hi all,

 

So I recently reached out to a POI at one of my top choice institutions. I just said a few sentences about my project and now she wants a "full proposal." I'm not quite sure what a full proposal means or what it should include. Is this a good sign that she'll undertake me? Or is this normal for POIs to do and I'm just new to the application process?

 

Thanks!

Hi all,

 

My schools of choice are UChicago, WashU, Columbia, and Pitt for eighteenth century British literature with a focus on women's writing and particular attention to the novels of Mary Darby Robinson. I'm applying straight from undergrad to PhD. I've taken the GREs, compiled the spreadsheet, and already obtained my letters of recommendation. Full funding is my goal. Have you all started S.O.P. yet?
