UPenn for sure. Emory as well. Brandeis and WUSTL also have profs who do interesting work in this area. This is one of my fields of interest, so I've spent some time looking into it.

Hang in there, folks! I was just admitted off of a waitlist today! Don't give up hope!

I'm in the exact same situation. Just have to wait and see what happens...

joeygiraldo, Thanks so much for the Brandeis update! I heard that the cohort was down from 8 to 2 this year, so I know things are tough, but that's wonderful news about the third funded spot. I would absolutely LOVE to be part of the program. I will remain very hopeful!

Hi MinniePup, I'm an early modernist, and also interested in colonial/postcolonial literatures. At least from what I hear about the way the BC waitlist works, I don't think we're competing with one another for a spot. :-). Let me know if you hear anything.

If anyone has accepted or declined an offer from Boston College or Brandeis and doesn't mind sharing, I would be curious to know. I'm on the waiting list at both schools and really hoping that an offer comes through - I would love to attend either program!
