Hi!
Currently waiting it out... I applied to 7 PhD programs and 2 MA programs through IRT (Institute for Recruitment of Teachers). I applied to no schools outside their consortium.
Waiting to hear back from: Harvard, Yale [Africana and English joint], Brown, Penn, Northwestern, Cornell, Berkeley (PhD) + Columbia and NYU (MA)
Still tyrna figure out my "elevator pitch" for my research interests, but definitely heavy interdisciplinary work w AAVE, dialect, and literature/expressive art.
Uh.. Asé?
