UK Applicants

[Rainbow0121]

Any other UK applicants attempting to step into the abyss of the 2013 application cycle?

Do you mean applying to the UK schools or from the UK into the US?  I've applied and been accepted to schools in the UK for my Master's for this Fall, now I'm closer to the point of having to make a decision.  

 

Good luck!

I'm assuming it's UK applicants going for the US (or at least elsewhere) - survived my cycle this time round but it certainly took a lot! Let me know if you have any questions...

Hi Socanth! I'm also a UK student exploring graduate study in the US. I did a summer course in Berkeley in English lit last year which I absolutely loved and would give anything to go back but given how competitive it is im looking at applying for some lower ranked schools. Whereabouts are you studying, and did you do an MA before?

thanks

Hi Londonite, I did do an MA and have been working for a few years. Presuming you've got decent marks for undergrad, (very) generally speaking it's much more about fit with the department than ranking, so I would apply to a range of places. Unfortunately the California schools are really difficult to get into at the moment because of funding cuts. At least in my field (anthropology) there are more opportunities with funding in the US at the moment. I'm actually heading to a private university, which will be quite a change of gear! Best of luck.
