Princeton sent some emails this afternoon, but I believe not everyone heard back.

Hello all, Request to join the "rejected by Brown" club. Any annual fees? haha I haven't posted since page 1 of this thread but it"s nice to see that it has gotten so lively!

@awhiterussian Will definitely PM !

Thank you for your suggestions (Simon?). Yes, I do realize it will be even more difficult for me because I don't have a master's and I will most likely compete with people who have it and/or can supplement with experience or publications. I will definitely look up the schools you recommended. Your program's website does not have a lot of info on placement, what are your thoughts? Ps: Noticed Edouard Glissant's Tout- Monde event and wished I was there.

Hello! "Do not apply to Columbia" That's the only school I have decided to apply to. This is very scary! I just graduated from a small liberal arts in Michigan (as an international student from Senegal and Cape Verde) with a Bachelor's in French (3.9 Gpa, phi beta kappa, honors, bla bla bla). Since June, I have been obsessing so crazily over my GRE scores, I have not spent enough time researching programs. My French professor recommended I apply to Columbia and NYU (she taught there) but it did not seem like NYU was quite the right fit for me. I am (very) interested in " la migritude", immigrants literature, diaspora, conflicts with identity and space, etc. I am having a hard time figuring out how to look for programs/schools that match my interests, so I would be very grateful to get more "insider" perspective. Also, saying that Columbia is over enrolled, does it mean they will not get any new PhD candidates? Do I stand a chance? Please Help!
