An English major? Really?

edited for content:

Although I would consider the two schools fairly close in terms of reputation, their strengths are very different. I don't think prestige is irrelevant, but it might be better to figure out which school is the best fit for your interests.

Not to be a pretentious English major, but it's "who's" and "prestigious."

They're both "top" schools, so prestige concerns, like job placement after graduation, would probably be exactly the same to the extent two applicants can ever be the same (same area of specialization, personality, etc).

Both schools would probably be sought after by the same huge number of applicants, both would be highly selective during the application process and both would probably have the same high standards for awarding PhDs.
