I'm a Spanish grad student at Georgetown, although I am from the literature track. The faculty are awesome and the grad students are even better. If you go to the department's section "People" and you find a grad student whose research interests match yours, I can try to put you in touch with them (so that you can ask them questions about the program from a grad student's perspective).

Hi all! You want to check with every school that they are taking students this cycle. Some will not tell you they are not but still accept the application. At my department, we have heard some rumors of several schools that won't be accepting this cycle as they want to use those funds to extend the program for those students who are in their sixth year but won't be able to find a job once they graduate in May. Good luck!

I also want to know

I have no idea whether they have done interviews. Do they usually do?

I contacted USCB and they said they are still deliberating, so there's no official decisions yet. How come someone posted a rejection and one acceptance?

They are. I have met with students and the chair of one of the departments I have been accepted to, and they have confirmed that the stipend is taxed.

I saw that someone received a rejection from UCSB? I haven't been notified yet.

I feel like everyone is expecting the rejection. According to recent years, they should be notifying this week. Good luck!

They don't. One of the department's professors told me so.

anyone else anxiously waiting for MTL's results?

My friend's been wondering about UCSB too. We know they tend to send acceptances toward the end of January.

Is there a chance a candidate could be accepted without interview? My friend didn't get an interview invitation and she is already given up on NYU.

Yes, I am! Both Thursday and Friday. Are you?

I was accepted to Georgetown! My top choice!

Congratulations!!

Has anyone applied to UMichigan or Georgetown?

Does anyone know if UCSB has sent the interview invitations yet?

Hello! I thought I would start a new topic discussion since I haven't seen any group created for Comp. Literature. What are your research interests? How many programs did you apply to this season? Have you started to hear back from them?

Congrats @coffeelyf and @merry night wanderer!

I just found out that my two POIs at one school are suddenly on leave. How badly do you think this will affect an application?

Según las estadísticas oficiales del programa, ya existen 13 acceptances de University of Minnesota: https://apps.grad.umn.edu/stats/ad/1216900.shtml ¿Alguien recibió algo?

One of my POIs is on leave this semester, but she told me not to worry about it. However, she stated that she wouldn't be able to speak up for me during admissions meetings, so she suggested other POIs whose interests matched mine.

Hi there! I have been wondering this for a while. I am not sure how many of you will be applying to Northwestern's Comparative Literature. For those of you who know, when you decide to apply, you have to choose a "home department", for instance, English, in which you want to pursue your Ph.D. I am not sure whether the faculty members from said department are also able to work with graduate students or only the affiliated to CL ones. Does anyone have information regarding this program? It'd be very helpful! Thank you!

Does anyone know if UCSB's Comparative Literature program requires the GRE for basic funding? Their website is more than confusing - to say the least.

anyone advice on what Stanford wants us to write in the Artistic Statement? It is extremely confusing. "Provide the Committee with a brief (no more than 3 pages double spaced) description of your theoretical approach to production/artistic practice."
