ambermt90 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Have any applicants who were admitted into UT Austin's Comparative Literature program gotten information on funding? I would really like to accept but have no idea what funding will look like. Edited March 9, 2019 by ambermt90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked them and they said they're finalizing their talks with the university and will tell me soon about the funding's package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the graduate advisor six days ago and haven't heard back. I'd like to learn more about the program in general and make sure PhD candidates have support in the program, as I've seen a lot of friends in graduate programs struggle after funding changes in their program. Have you had a chance to speak with any other students or professors at UT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not. I contacted them twice but it's just been radio silence. Honestly feeling kind of nervous. What have your conversations been like? My biggest concern at the moment is less about funding, though that's obviously huge, and more so the treatment of graduate students in the program. It worries me that I'm struggling to get information. Edited March 22, 2019 by ambermt90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
