ZeeMore21 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Did anyone apply to Tufts English program? Any clue as to when we should hear back from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradgirlwannabe Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I applied to Tufts, but haven't heard a peep since early January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulwoolfian Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I just got a call from Virginia Jackson offering me admission! Five years of funding, $18,000 stipend, no teaching in the first year (sorry guys, didn't keep my head on enough to ask how many were admitted). I couldn't be happier. I was waitlisted and then denied from Tufts last year, so it's especially sweet. Anyone else attending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exact package that you have but Virginia did talk about being some kind of "teaching apprentice" my first year given that I have a MA already. Congrats on your admittance!

Also, how do you feel about the stipend? I do not know what the standard of living is in that area, but I assuming that since Tufts is near Boston, it must be expensive to live up there.

Once More with Feeling Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hey folks, Thought I'd jump in. I was also accepted, though since I'm overseas I got an email instead of a call. Needless to say I'm thrilled. FYI: I am interested in ecocriticism, 20th century American fiction (didn't know that was an unlucky choice until the rejections started and I began reading TGC in anticipation of next year's applications), and digital humanities. Also Japanese literature and culture, though that wasn't part of my proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulwoolfian Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Congrats to both of you! I'm interested in 20th century British Literature, especially aesthetics and the process of reading (generally in the novels of Woolf, as my username makes clear ). I'm honestly just happy to get a stipend (last round I only got an unfunded MA offer) that seems to be average to high, on the scale of things. Though I am quite worried about cost of living. Are either of you planning on visiting the campus soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once More with Feeling Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I don't think I'll be able to visit. I have no vacation days left for this year, and plane tickets from Osaka aren't cheap. If/ when ya'll go, please tell me how it strikes you. My significant other also applied to Tufts for geography (it's her first choice). I'm hoping she gets in and that living together will help us to manage costs. Pricey or not, I love the northeast, and that has to be an amazing area to live for academics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
