  1. Hey, new user here! I applied to MA programs in English, and I am starting to hear back. What I'm wondering now (to decide how much to factor it into my decision) is how much the name of my MA school will matter on eventual PhD applications. Obviously I haven't even heard back from many of my programs, but I have already received a tempting offer from Salem State University. It's not exactly a "prestigious" school, but I like the program and the area. I'm slightly ahead of myself, I know. But I just don't want to find out that good PhD programs are going to write me off if they don't know my MA institution. If I (hopefully) get a solid GPA and have a strong application otherwise, will it be a factor that PhD programs weigh heavily?
