Hi all my Literary mates,
I plan to apply for a Ph.D in Literature in various Universities of California (Berkeley, LA, Davis, USC). Could anyone please enlighten me how much competitive the UCs are? What are their fundings like? What do Depts mean when they say they fund their students, is it a total fee waiver or stipend? Is there anything specific or extraordinary I must focus on, in my application (Except the GRE, at which I suck :|) - that reminds me is there anyone who took the recent GRE subject? What was it like?
