<<Does this mean I shouldn't be going into academia?>>

Yes.

Can I be the dissenting voice? Dude, you're a shoo-in. Don't listen to these guys. Don't even apply to any other schools, just start buying Cornell shirts. And don't worry about practical things like chances of getting tenure, you can pay your rent in poems.

<<University of Chicago is a non-profit organization, so calling the MAPH program a "cash cow" is incredibly unfair.>>

It would only be unfair if people were claiming the University of Chicago were taking the money from MAPH students and putting it in the pockets of shareholders/owners. Taking the money from MAPH students and using it to pay for (fund) PhD students, professors, staff, build fountains, fix urinals, etc. does not hurt an institution's status as a non-profit organization at all.

Anybody know about Bryn Mawr's funding for English?

Don't get too specific: Just say you plan to spend all your time during the PhD looking at porn.

Are you hoping to become a professor? I would be worried that your anxiety disorder would make teaching hellish for you.

It shouldn't be a problem at all. My guess is that most Medieval Studies grad programs will value the Latin you've learned in a Classics program more than they would the history/culture emphasis of most undergrad Medieval programs.

I think people draw big distinctions between the various PhD programs at Chicago and the MAPH. Chicago=prestigious; MAPH=scam.
