Ahh que bien. Pues me intereso por la literatura peninsular moderna y contemporanea. Ni idea en cuanto a la otra preguntilla.. Espero enterarme de algo dentro de 2 o 3 semanas pero se que algunos programas (NYU, UNC, etc.) suelen esperar hasta el ultimo momento.. a ver cuando salen los resultados. He visto (on the results page) que UPenn suele invitar a algunos para ir a su 'interview weekend' a fines de enero pero que se yo? Hopefully we hear something soon!

Ahh es que no me di cuenta de tu ubicacion (Madison!) - lo siento! Cuales son tus intereses en cuanto a la literatura/sabes lo que tienes ganas de investigar?

Si pues es una locura total! Pero te tengo una pregunta - te refieres a cual(es) departamento(s)?

Hola! Thought I would contribute to this waiting room.. I applied to four schools for PhD in Spanish: NYU, UVA - Charlottesville, UNC - Chapel Hill, and University of Pennsylvania. I just finished a double MA in Spanish and French Langs/Lits and am now teaching so I've been pretty busy but now that it's January I'm sorta nervous about the decisions which could be rolling in as early as the last week of this month...eek. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck with the rest of your applications! I'll keep my results posted as I get them

Hola BBBAK -- buena pregunta.. aun no estoy seguro. Pero como estoy a caballo entre la epoca moderna y la epoca contemporanea, me intereso mucho por lo que investigan Sosa-Velasco y Gomez-Castellano. Conoces a estos profesores? O tambien has solicitado el ingreso a UNC? Congrats on the acceptance! Where did you get an acceptance from already?

Hola a todos! I'm also applying to PhD programs in Spanish/Hispanic Studies at: UPenn, NYU, UVA, UNC-Chapel Hill. I'm interested in modern and contemporary peninsular literature. Han acabado con las solicitudes?

I did my MA in Spanish and French (Langs & Lits) and if you are doing 18th in French I would think Italian would be very useful. I'm thinking in particular of all of the influences of la Commedia dell'Arte (sp?) in much of 18th century French literature (theater - Marivaux, philosophy - Rousseau, Diderot, etc.). Latin would still be useful though - I would try to do both since many PhD programs seem to require 2 or even 3 additional languages.
