  1. Why don't you just apply to funded MA programs?
  2. If you can articulate the reasons another MA is crucial to your education, it shouldn't be a problem. (Saying you enjoy school probably won't cut it.) But Williams isn't necessarily the right program if your aim is to jump right into a dissertation afterward. Do what's right for you, but do your research.
  3. I doubt anyone on this forum has enough knowledge of Williams' admissions process to answer this question. Your best bet would probably be to email the department and ask directly.
  4. Not sure what bearing lists like this are supposed to have in anyone's decision making process, but on first glance, Hopkins seems much too low. MIT seems like it should be higher than Austin. Stanford should be higher than CUNY and Pitt, &c.
  5. I was always under the impression that they pretty much only accepted people in critical studies who had already advanced to candidacy.
  6. Probably not a popular opinion, but I can't help but wonder if getting blanket rejections year after year is a sign that one should pursue a different line of work. Sure, you can apply and re-apply, maybe get into a middling program, but if even those who get into a top program on their first try are going to struggle to find tenure track jobs (and most probably won't), it doesn't seem logical to waste 6, 7, 8 years that could really advance a non-academic career chasing a degree that most likely won't lead anywhere.
