nhswrestle got a reaction from egwynn in Anyone currently in the following programs?! (American Studies, etc.)
My advice: Contact the DGS at schools your interested in and ask if your research interests would fit.

nhswrestle got a reaction from blakeblake in Plan B's
“Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether" - Hunter S. Thompson

nhswrestle got a reaction from lisajay in 0% Confidence of Acceptance
x2. I was shut out last year. Regardless, this year I will be presenting at three academic conferences, two on a topic related to my proposed area of graduate research. I've also been reading, writing, brainstorming ideas for conference papers/journal articles, networking, etc. Not only has this allowed me to stay active in academia despite no longer being a student, it has allowed me to revamp my CV and gain a better understanding of my research area. It has also, hopefully, made me a more attractive candidate for graduate study.

nhswrestle got a reaction from Two Espressos in Fall 2013 English Lit Applicants
I just took the GRE a second time and got a 65% on the verbal, after months of studying. At first, this score made me want to quit this application season out of fear that I no longer have a chance of getting into any of my prospective programs.
After some reflection, I have decided to hang in the race. My school list is almost finalized, as is my writing sample and personal statement. So, I am just going to apply and hope that graduate programs can overlook what - in my opinion - is the least relevant indicator of future success in grad school.
