gagne Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Hello!! In the midst of really figuring out where I want to apply, so getting back into these forums as I look to apply for doctoral programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent0yzz Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share Posted June 20, 2023 I keep telling myself that it'll be easier than when I had to apply for my MFA, but we'll see how it goes... There's lot of time left to plan/prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramblem1 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Hello, I'm currently in a masters' program in English literature and looking to apply to a PhD program. Is it too late now to begin the application process for a program beginning in fall 2024, with deadlines in December 2023? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinfandel Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 A mixture of hope, dread, and a churning stomach. gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagne Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Same!!! I’m still finalizing Brown, Northwestern, and UChicago. McGill and Concordia are coming down the pipe but working on closest deadlines atop graduate school deadlines of my current program. Trying not to beat myself up turning in my applications so close to the deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinfandel Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Don't! the goal is to get them in by the deadline—that is sufficient, and commendable. We're applying to study things we care about. The procedures to get there are, ultimately, naught but administerial hoopla. gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagne Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 whew, a lot of the applications have been flying in as I've been busy wrapping up the semester, just have Brown left to submit (getting a second opinion about including a secondary writing sample whether it'd help or hurt my chances) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

©har1ie Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Any other 2024 English lit. applicants out there? I was waiting for someone else to start a thread but I guess I'll do the honors. I've applied to 11/12 of my programs at this point, going to finish the last app. in the next couple of days. I've been lurking this forum off and on for about 5 years and this is the most dead I think it's ever been. wanlichangcheng and sheherazade11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagne Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 For English Lit do you mean English Literature PhD programs? If so, yeah! I applied to 7, got everything done before winter break. ©har1ie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
