    But it already does that. Just type the school name followed by the department.
  2. Warelin
    You are correct and I think it's always been that way.
  3. Warelin
    Any chance of you including Subject scores in the data? =)
  4. Warelin
    I still have my list from last season about which schools require the subject test. Would you like the list of schools?

    It also doesn't apply to funding offers received after April 15th. There's usually a courtesy of 1 or 2 weeks after an offer is received to decide if you'd like to accept.

    Thanks to all those who have filled this out so far.

    Last year, an individual here made a document to try to paint a picture on grad committees. Updating this document with your own information might be able to help people better understand their chances of fit and determining what they are after. The document can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LpH5dOHh39c2UyyCJbviQRvXCXvy__QPZjs4bG9ZDp0/edit#gid=0 The following document talks about funding at different schools. Some of the information may be outdated but could provide future cohorts of what to expect: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1H7d9iuwSL8ZWE-DmFo2013lpF2cL7hDidWcDt4mic0Q/edit#gid=0 Congrats to all those who have been accepted. =)

    Congratulations on deciding!

    Have you decided where you'd like to go?

    http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=vanderbilt+religion It looks like some people heard back in late feb/early march. Some schools don't notify about rejections.
  11. Warelin
    I'm not sure if there are any credible schools that don't require a letter of recommendation since it's one of the easiest ways for schools to judge fit into a program. I wish you the best of luck in your search though.

    On a separate note, you might consider going into a Master's program first to see if you like grad school since it tends to be very different from doing an undergrad degree. Also, the grad degree would most likely override any grades from your Bachelor's.
  13. Warelin
    Universities will (generally) consider both your undergraduate and graduate gpa. Usually, they will weigh your graduate gpa more if it's in the same program the PHD is in since it reflects your ability to do grad-level work better. There are other factors that matter much more though.

    Thanks for your response. =) I think I've gone a bit too far in my research. I know that the WS and SOP are the most important but I keep coming across students with publications and it's a bit intimidating.
  15. Warelin
    Reviving out of interest: How much emphasis does UMD place on having publications by the time you apply? How important is the GRE score to UMD?

    I've heard that said about Penn State. She must have been a can't miss applicant.
  17. Warelin
    I think that's an important distinction to make. The makeup of an applicant pool will differ per school. And we also know that some programs are stronger in certain fields even if they are ranked lower overall.
  18. Warelin
    Bumping for awareness and curious to see if anyone has any more information based on this year's data
  19. Warelin
    One of the topics that I frequently encounter is that some programs prefer applicants directly from the BA. A lot of websites don't give a directory of their graduate students. What schools prefer students directly from the BA? Is there a way to do more research into this?

    http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=university+of+illinois+at+chicago+english&t=a&o= From the limited amount of information, it seems like they don't notify into April for their MA.
  21. Warelin
    Some schools say that the subject test is optional. For those who applied and got accepted into these schools, did you send them your gre subject scores? Just trying to compile a list of data to determine how much good or bad sending/not sending would do.

    Most professors have a Ph.D. which will require about 5 additional years after the M.A. The chances of being admitted into a Ph.D. program is between 3-6 percent. Recent surveys show that one open tenure track position receives more than 600 applicants. Unless you can't see yourself do anything but teaching, I'd stay away from being a professor. This is not meant to discourage you but rather to give you insight about the field. You mention that this is your third internship. For most fields, work experience goes further than education experience if a minimum level of education isn't required. How much time have you spent looking for entry-level positions? Have you gone to events?
  23. Warelin
    Berkeley states: a satisfactory scholastic average, usually a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale; and Satisfying minimal standards, however, does not guarantee your admission, since the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of places available. As a result, many well-qualified applicants cannot be accommodated.
  24. Warelin
    Don't forget to consider cost of living. While one may offer more money on paper, it isn't always the case. Consider rent prices. Consider living arrangements. Consider transportation. Consider the school's atmosphere as well as the support that both places will be able to offer you.

    Waiting is always the hard part.
