McGill?

Cool thread, OP -- I'm interested in Queer studies, Beat poetics, and book history.

I'm late to the party, but I'm reading Villette right now and really liking it. Cool post, btw -- it's neat to see what everyone's reading.

Hi, I'm not a student there, but I know that the University of New Hampshire has 100% placement rates for Comp/rhetoric PhD grads seeking tenure-track jobs. Maybe give them a look! Jerry

Really interesting stuff, truckbasket. I believe you off hand, but, after all, this is the Internet. Would you mind corroborating your claims? Do you have any links to sources backing up what you're saying? Thanks.

Hi, all: Quick question for you: when deciding on who to admit, how heavily -- if at all -- do admissions committees and/or graduate directors weigh applicants' past honors and/or scholarships? Are they a bump at all? Or are they just expected? Obviously, other bits of one's application will be weighed more heavily than these, but I am just wondering how much, if at all, they might contribute to one's chances for admission. Thanks in advance for whatever insight you can offer -- and good luck to all this fall's applicants! Best, Jerry
