Et merde jai le directeur a lautre programme qui me demande de confirmer. Je voulais attendre pour savoir pour IFS.
-
@FrenchJourn @Ming Charlène still nothing from IFS?!? they told me mid to late March but now I suspect it be later ...
-
My two cents, and I am also leaning toward Rutgers, is that having an advisor in mind that you would really want to work with is a big selling point. Good luck!
-
Maybe you could get a sense of how likely it is to get that funding you have to apply for. If funding is the same for years one and two, keep in mind things might change by the time you get to year three. You also might put yourself in position to win funding. knowing the Princeton area relatively well, i can tell you it’s not cheap either. which program has faculty you would be most excited to work with? which one has an atmosphere in which you see yourself being most comfortable?
-
congrats, this is a good choice to have to make! I would go with your "heart" over your "head"; question: where did you see about the funding for research and language and travel?
-
I don’t think it red flags you. Try not to overdo it. One short polite email should be fine.

MA in French Studies — Columbia : Financial Issues
Volodine1 replied to Tyger's question in Questions and Answers
Definitely do not pay that much for a program. 65k really? Wow. -
I have not heard anything yet...

Unsure

I told waitlist A that I was in at waitlist B. I am still waiting on one app which I can’t tell if I am on a waitlist or just not rejected yet. I think waitlist A is out of the running assuming I get complete details from waitlist B and they are solid. However if the third option becomes a possibility that would upend the whole calculus! Only a little while longer to wait. Wishing everyone on here patience and good luck!

GW is a top program and I am happy to answer any questions about it. Also Yale is even better.
-
I heard from student coordinator to expect status update mid to late March. ... Hope you guys hear good news this week!!

en effet @FrenchJourn et pas de quoi @MingCharlene. As for my own status, hard to tell from the email but it would appear I am on waitlist.

Same here. I emailed the DGS and didn’t hear back. Also wound up emailing the coordinator. So hard waiting for this one after everyone else is pretty much done!

Northwestern or Rutgers New Brunswick for Comp Lit?
Volodine1 replied to foreigncorrespondent's topic in Decisions, Decisions
i would say Rutgers is better. They have some excellent faculty and funding too. Dont know much about NW though. Congrats on the acceptances! -
a student told me it might not be until March. here's hoping. Good luck to you! What field/area did you apply in? I was in 20th century, trauma, enviro humanities...
-
I only heard from POI at IFS to say it would be a couple weeks before they made decisions. What about you, did you apply to IFS? Or to the French department? Has anyone been accepted or interviewed who applied to IFS/french as opposed to IFS/history or anthropology? Thanks!
-
Do you mean just french or IFS and french? I applied to IFS and french and have heard nothing so far.
-
Thank you teddy kellog. Hope you enjoy it wherever it is you wind up going!
-
speaking of top choices. is anyone accepted at rutgers for whom it is not their top choice? asking because waitlisted. thanks!
-
yes, a while back, leaving the rest of us implied rejected. official decisions, they say, are made mid-April. But word is we are shit out of luck who have not been interviewed by now.
-
Thanks for starting this thread! I applied to IFS (NYU) French, Columbia comp lit, CUNY comp lit, Penn French, Princeton French and Rutgers French. I’ve been rejected from Penn, waitlisted at Rutgers and interviewed at CUNY. My primary interests are 20th century and contemporary, trauma and environmental. Good luck to all!
