Hi roxyshoe, I feel you on being attracted to German programs due to the possibility of combining literature, art and psychoanalytic theory. I should warn you, though, that for the *top* programs, like Princeton, Columbia and Cornell (and Harvard as well, for that matter) near-fluency in German is a must. I would advise you to study abroad or take a year and do a master's in German. This is very important, and it's what was advised to me when I started looking into programs.
If anyone else is applying to German, I'd like for us to be able to continue a thread here, or start another one. I'm applying this fall to all German programs. Anyone else?
