Me: I completed my English Lit BA at UBC, and did my Master's in Library and Information Studies (MLIS) at McGill.
I am now living in Saskatchewan, and will be here for 3 years while my boyfriend completes his medical residency.
Question: should I do my MA in English Lit at the University of Saskatchewan? Is it ok to go to a "less presitgious" school? Would this put me at a disadvantage when applying to phd programs?
I would like to study Shakespeare, and am hoping that it's not where you go but what you make of it (present at conferences, publish articles, etc.) and who you're studying with.
My plan is to attend the U of S from 2013-2015, and then with the flexibility of being able to move I would go to a higher ranked school for my phd. Or not go for my phd. I just want to do an MA in English Lit.
Advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to masters programs that require finding a supervisor. My MLIS application process was much less involved.
Hope you're having a nice week!
