I am! Is Princeton your first choice? @Sjett @Tyger

One of the profs in the Cornell RS dept. told me that "the number of acceptances will be restricted due to budget cuts" so don't be too hard on yourself! Re: Is it normal to have seminars during the visit? Yes, I think so. Most of the programs I've heard from include seminars in their virtual visit weeks

I didn't apply to UW Madison or NL, but nobody has posted updates in the "results" section. Sorry not to be more helpful!

I did my MA at the IFS at NYU. The history classes were in English; the French lit and visiting prof classes all in French. You had to present in French etc. and I really liked having the opportunity to work on my français soutenu/French academic jargon.

Thanks, DeNovo! I really can't decide. I don't mind speaking in English and plan to write my thesis in English... I think I will have to gauge the atmosphere during my virtual visit!
-
Thanks, that's what I've been thinking! I heard, though, that students speak English in the French lit classes at Berkeley and that there are few native francophones. Does anyone have thoughts about the atmosphere at Princeton?

Thank you! ?

Does anyone know if there is a list of French PhD programs’ funding packages somewhere? I saw a really great breakdown of funding/cost of living for different programs on an English PhD thread, and I wish there was one for French! I’ve been accepted at Berkeley and would love to know what funding package to expect since the area seems really expensive. Thanks and good luck to everyone!!

I was hoping to work with Toril Moi or Maya Boutaghou, but I admire the work of so many of the professors in both departments! .

? Are you going to attend both? Who are you hoping to work with at Duke/UVA?

I was invited to the open-house at UVA--maybe I will see you there! It seems like a great program, but I wish there were more recent stats about their placement record on the dept.'s site. Have you heard anything from Duke? I'm worried that they have already contacted their top candidates ?

Did anyone else apply to Cornell or NYU?

I'm applying to a few French lit programs. I understand that Yale and Princeton may be accepting smaller cohorts, but what about other schools like Duke or Berkeley? After reading this thread, I'm wondering if it was a bad idea to apply at all...
