pnagy01 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Does anyone have suggestions for strong mid-level PhD programs? I'm going to apply next semester and the list of good-but-not-impossible-to-get-into PhD I've compiled thus far is as follows: Temple, Lehigh, UDel, and SUNY StonyBrook. Any ideas for further prospects? Bear in mind that I'm looking to stay within the tristate area. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTJ Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It depends what your focus is and what you're applying for. My suggestion is to apply to all the schools where you can see yourself going and where there is someone (or a few people) with whom you'd like to work. This whole process is such a crap shoot. Also, don't just try for mid-level programs because you never know. I know someone who didn't get into his "safety" school but got into Harvard. I got into my safety school and my top choice, which is an ivy league school. So...my suggestion is to apply everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnagy01 Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 To clarify, my areas of interest include 19th and 20th Century American Fiction and Poetry and gender studies (victorian and modern) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
