  1. That makes more sense, thank you so much for explaining. When I was trying to find the ranking of the comp lit program, I didn’t see it as a top program that was mentioned on any of the lists. I know the English program is highly sought after, but I was unable to find how the comp lit program was ranked. I guess that’s where my concerns and worries came from.
  2. Do you mind elaborating how it is not the same? I’m mostly worried about job prospects which is already unstable, and then wondering about the rank of Graduate Center. Would it be better to be from the top programs in comparison to how the Graduate Center is ranked? I’m thinking if I should reapply in the next cycle because of this and just worried about the reputation of the program in comparison to an Ivy like Columbia
  3. Thank you for the insight and helpful feedback, I am just anxious because I see everywhere the emphasis on pedigree and top programs: NYU, Columbia, Yale, etc. Now I’m wondering if I should decline the offer and reapply in the next cycle to top programs
  4. Hello, I’m new on this forum and posted this on the decisions forum and didn’t get comments so I wanted to also ask here. I am sorry about the redundancy Hi everyone, I finish my undergraduate degree this may. I wanted some feedback because I am debating which program to commit to as the April 14 deadline is coming closer. I was accepted to the comparative literature phd program at the cuny graduate center with full funding. I have also been accepted to teachers college Columbia for an EdD in curriculum and instruction with no funding except 20k the first year. I am worried about the financial burden of the edd, but I am reading that the degree from tc seems to hold prestige when looking at jobs versus the rank of the program at GC. I am also stressed about the job security with a comp lit phd. I just needed an outsider viewpoint on the decision as I am wracking my brain and the deadline is coming closer Would there be more payoff in the future to get my EdD from teachers college? Due to the Columbia prestige vs a degree from cuny gc’s comp lit program?should I just wait and reapply in the fall? I was interested in both the education and lit programs and applied to both degrees Any advice and comments are helpful, thank you so much
  5. Hi everyone, would it provide more job security, prestige, and value to get an edd degree from Columbia teachers college (no funding) or PhD in comp lit from cuny GC (fully funded five years)
