euges429 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Let's break it down into the "top" vs "middle" vs "bottom" schools, since they'll be different. I know as a fact (since I've been an applicant in both): top business phd schools 5-8% top social psychology phd schools 4-6% What about other programs? How hard is it to get into a PhD program?

Minnesotan Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 From the responses I've gotten so far, English programs were (yet again) abysmal this year. Intake at the handful of top ~20 schools I applied to were between 2-5%. That's based on the ratio of initial offers to applicants. It probably gets slightly better when schools are forced to go to their waitlists. Considering half of us who earn PhDs in English won't get tenure-track jobs within five years, one has to envy people with more sensible dreams. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
