KamishaJo Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I’ve applied to 14 programs, but now I'm thinking that I’d like to add a couple more to my list just in case things don’t go well. Does anyone know of any English/Literature/Film Studies programs that accept applications until February? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semicolon2013 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What programs did you apply to? If you applied to a good range already, I think it's unlikely that throwing in more at this point will help. Especially since fit is of the utmost importance. jazzyd and Strong Flat White 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamishaJo Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I don’t want to list the schools (because I know that adcoms get on here sometimes), but I definitely applied to a wide range...everything from the top tier to rank 125. But there are no such thing as “safety” schools, so I want to make sure I have my bases covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no safety schools, thus it wouldn't make sense to keep piling schools on your list by nature of the fact that their deadlines are later. I'm sure the schools you've already applied to make a great list and are a great fit for your interest. Best thing to do now is to sit back and relax.

antecedent Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yeah man, 14 schools is enough. Any more and you'll be throwing money down a hole. Yes, there is a certain extent to which applications can be seen as a numbers game, but I think there's also a point at which, if a person doesn't get into 14 schools, they're not going to magically get in to #15, #16, etc. Strong Flat White and kairos 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledumb Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 If you're still thinking about adding more, I saw the other day that Georgia State moved their deadline to February 15th. I don't know much about your side of the English program though (I'm Comp/Rhet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toasterazzi Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I believe Binhamton's is February 15th as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
