Hi all! It’s been very informative reading this chain...I was planning on applying to Comp Lit PhD programs beginning in Fall 2021 with a focus on postmodernism and medieval mysticism. However a potential advisor from my top choice, U Chicago, has informed me they’ll be closing their 2021 cycle, reopening in 2022. I’m sure a great number of humanities programs will be following suit, so I’ve given up my dream of pursuing a doctoral degree for now. I might try applying again in 2022/23, though it depends on how other career events unfold. A huge bummer is that my GRE scores from 2015 JUST expired and I took it again last week before I made this decision lol. Anyway, good luck to everyone!
