  1. Hello, I am a senior in college (B.A) and I have just gotten through the application process for French history. Out of the five programs I applied to, I got in to three and I'm having trouble deciding between them. I would appreciate anyone's input about which program they think is best and why. I applied to: Harvard, NYU, CUNY, UCSC and UCLA. I've been accepted to NYU, CUNY and UCSC, rejected from Harvard and have not yet heard anything from UCLA. I'm going to include what I see as the main pros and cons for each program as I see them. I appreciate any advice you all can give NYU: Pros: Very generous stipend, including funding for summer archival research Program with a specific focus on French history Cons: Pretty good fit, but no one doing exactly what I am Few teaching opportunities CUNY Pros: Lots of teaching opportunities Very good fit with POI, who seems to like me Cons: Smaller stipend, funding outside of stipend less available Perhaps too much teaching? UCSC Pros: Opportunity to teach Very good fit with POI, who also has a good deal of personal prestige as a historian Cons: Smaller stipend, funding outside of stipend less available Perhaps too much teaching? Far away from all of my friends family etc
