Hey, everyone. I can't believe I didn't know about this site or this forum. I'm bursting at the seams waiting to geek out.
After saving up for two years off from school and some teaching in S. America, I applied to twelve programs. 3 Comp. Lit. programs, 4 English MA programs, and 5 English PhD programs. So far, good reception from the MA and Comp. Lit. Programs. Embarrassingly, I think it was in the process that I felt Comp. Lit. was a begrudged best fit for me.
Anybody else heavily considering Rutgers (and possibly going to the dinner next week)?
