Madame_Psychosis

Hello All, I'm well aware that "fit is the deciding factor" when it comes to schools, but I am having trouble finding programs that I truly want to go to / think I should have a shot for. I have a 3.5 with a 3.8 in the major from a very solid university (non-Ivy, but not invisible either). I'm interested in Contemporary American Literature, with emphasis on Diaz, Morrison, DeLillo, Wallace, and others; reaching as far back as Milton depending on the topic. Anyhoo, this isn't my Statement of Purpose; I just want to know if there are schools that accept good but not sterling GPAs. On top of that, AS STUDENTS AND HUMAN BEINGS (although that seems contradictory at first glance), do you like your programs? Why? Should I attend as well? 10/10: would go again? Thank you.
