Columbia's package has been updated as a result of the recent graduate student laborers strike. TA work beginning in your second year, 1-1 teaching load starting your third. $39,990 for those on 9-month appointments (total compensation includes a $6,000 summer stipend). We also have pretty good health insurance, and can opt-in to the dental insurance for a reasonable fee. Solidarity forever!

I am a current PhD student at Columbia University. Here's the email we just received: "The doctoral admissions committee met today to make final decisions, our intention being to assemble a class of eleven new students, plus two students who deferred enrollment last year. The students we've admitted work across all fields and include a number with strongly interdisciplinary projects. Several new admits also share an interest in sharing and conducting research beyond the academy. It's also a significantly diverse group in demographic terms: more than half of those we've admitted are people of color. Our admissions list is now with GSAS for processing and approval. Offer letters will be sent by email late today or early Monday morning. Once our admits have been officially notified by GSAS, I'll circulate a list of names that includes contact information. At that point, you may also be contacted by your faculty mentors with requests to reach out to prospective students. Before then, please do not contact anyone, even informally and even if you've been in touch already, until I confirm that they've been officially admitted by GSAS." Good luck to anyone here who applied! EDIT: Sorry, I should have specified. This is for the English & Comp Lit Department.
