I applied to six Comp Lit programs, all for PhD, as I'm currently finishing up an MA in Comp Lit. I applied to Duke, UPenn, UC Santa Barbara, WUSTL, CU (not too worried about getting into the PhD program here, ha!) and UMass Amherst. I have an unofficial acceptance (via department contact) at UCSB, a rejection from WUSTL, and a lot of nail-biting on the rest. I really, really have my heart set on Duke Literature, but it seems they already sent interviews out and I did not get one. I haven't given up hope, especially since I'm in a unique position (Fredric Jameson is visiting my program during interviews week and I will be meeting him a few times) but I'm also not holding my breath anymore. Very disheartening.

I am currently getting my MA in Comp Lit at CU, so let me know if you have any questions about the program.

I have decided that knowledge is not power. I haven't heard anything, I don't know what it means, and I'm pretty sure this website is the devil. I had hope twenty minutes ago.
