@Volodine1 Hi, I am just writing to let you know that me and another candidate for Rutgers declined their offer. Same goes for UVA in case anyone on this forum is vying for this university. Hard decisions to make because both universities seemed wonderful. Best of luck !

@MonsieurHonoré I am right there with on coming from a rural background / having very conservative family. Perhaps we three will end up at Cornell? Il faut reprendre contact avec la nature !

Hi there, first time posting! Quick question: has anyone heard from Duke, or spoken to their admissions department about when results will be out ?

Hey, thank you all for the posts ! As you can imagine, we are full steam ahead with the graduate application process and are preparing to submit our portfolios.

My girlfriend and I will be applying to French PHD programs in the NY area (Rutgers, Colombia, Princeton, NYU, UPenn) as well as in the southeast (University of Virginia, Duke) and several universities in Canada (Université de Montréal and McGill). I’m also interested, but have not yet check out, universities in California such as UCLA, Stanford, or Yale. (For the latter, I read that PHD applicants must have a year of teaching experience and this is not my case.) We are both currently in masters of comparative at Paris 3 (Sorbonne Nouvelle). For my part, l have been a resident in France for 4 yrs, having passed the “concours d’enseignement” or the CAPES and taught as a full time English language teacher for 2 years. My companion also had a stint as a highschool teacher here, but she is a native French speaker. My research interests are mainly in francophone literature and literature and economy. Hers are primarily in trauma studies. Would anybody have any information about the universities I mentioned, any helpful advice on the application process or other universities ? Thank you all advance - I signed up b/c I found a similar thread for the 2019 session and everybody seemed supportive and knowledgeable!
