  1. To add my two cents on Tufts: I was accepted to and visited Tufts in March, and had a great visit. The campus is great, the teaching load is reasonable (one class a semester starting your second year, caps out at 10 students), and the grad students and professors there were really friendly (i.e., they called/emailed after my visit and were very open to all of my questions). Anyway, despite all the gradcafe talk about how gender-centric the professors are, the current students were surprised/laughed at that claim. They said that there are so many professors there approaching literature from so many different approaches that to label Tufts as a gender or feminist based program is a false and limiting claim. Anyway, I decided not to go to Tufts (mostly because of fit), but I had a nice visit there and would recommend that you not rule the program out. It seems that the students there are very happy. Hope that helps!
  2. Re: Tufts It's probably not looking too good. Their open house for admitted students is next Wednesday, and their DGS has been very email-happy since late February. Good luck, though--maybe you'll hear great news very soon! (And congrats on Ohio State!)
  3. Hey guys, I received a call from the DGS yesterday. I posted this on the results page, but BU has slashed their MA program size to 10-12 people, of which 5-7 will continue on to the Ph.D. He clarified that BU doesn't aggressively try to cut people from the program (although most people will have to reapply to move from the MA to the Ph.D level), but some of the MAs only intend on getting their masters (though I imagine that everyone receives funding; my fellowship is around 18k for the first year). He also said that letters have been sent in the mail, although I don't know if he planned to call everyone who was accepted. Hope that helps, and best of luck to you all!
