Hi everyone,
My name is Ellie. I'm new here, and I'm in desperate need of help.
This is my situation: I live in Iran, and I HAVE TO get out of here as soon as possible because I just can't take it anymore. I need to get accepted to a PhD program in English. It literally doesn't matter where in the U.S or Canada (or even other big countries in Europe). It just need to be funded. I was wondering if anyone could tell me which university has a higher acceptance rate or any tips that would make it easier for me to get accepted. I also have budget problem due to Iran's currency so I can't just apply for like 20 universities and my professors won't send that many recommendation letters either.
I have studied at state universities for both degrees, which have higher ranks and are considered more "prestigious" here because you have to have a higher rank in the entrance exam, and your education will be free.
GPA: B.A: 4.25/5 M.A: 4.3/5
Academic IELTS: 7.5, General: 8
TEF (Test d'évaluation de français): B1
Work Experience: More than three years in the related field
Age: 28
My research interests are Narrative Theory, Metafiction, and The Novel (My Master's Degree thesis is also somehow related to this).
I have also written a proposal that's related to my research interest. It's not perfect, but I think it's decent.
So please let me know if you have any suggestions about any university that has a high chance of getting accepted. Thank you!
