Like when, are more emails being sent, what your specialty is? I also applied to comp lit there. The email was sent yesterday, inviting to visit Stanford on March 7th and 8th. I don't know whether more e-mails are being sent. I focus on German-Jewish and Hebrew literature as they relate to questions of immigration, translation, reception and world literature.

Received an e-mail from the Student Affairs Officer for Comparative Literature at Stanford inviting me to an on-campus interview in early March. First response - I am really excited. Congrats!

HopefulRhetorician Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I received word last week that I had been admitted to the comms program at Illinois! It's a MA/PhD program in communication, but the concentration is in rhetoric and public discourse. Really excited about this one! maengret, posts, snickus and 2 others 1 4
JustPoesieAlong Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 That's great news, @HopefulRhetorician! Congratulations!

Mellowyellow Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Just got the official interview for Chicago! It must have just been a day late. Don't spiral - stay hopeful all! Edited January 23, 2018 by Mellowyellow sarahchristine 1

bumbleblu Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Congrats @HopefulRhetorician! I just heard from the third Gender Studies program I applied to -- waitlisted again. I'm amazed, especially considering I was applying outside my discipline. BUT that means that I'm waiting on the English programs. What's gonna happen?????

Do you have a preference between English and Gender Studies, if you were given the choice of programs in both categories?

It was one of the programs I applied to two years ago, but I decided not to reapply because the fit wasn't that great.

Do you have a preference between English and Gender Studies, if you were given the choice of programs in both categories? It's very difficult to say. I think I would prefer a Gender Studies program, just based on the trajectory my M.A. research took me; but I think I could do good work in any of the English programs I applied to as well. I mean, right now my preference is for whichever program wants to accept me. HopefulRhetorician and FreakyFoucault 2

That's exaclty what I was saying but now I already have two great offers from great schools in my field and it is really hard for me to choose. And I am still waiting 6 decisions. I know it sounds kinda "bad" but it actually is a problem

kinoko Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Shortlist for Emory in Comparative Literature. They have invited me to visit and meet faculty (all paid so good?). snickus, Warelin, JustPoesieAlong and 3 others 1 5
JustPoesieAlong Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 @kinoko, that's amazing! Congratulations! Does Emory's Comp. Lit program not do interviews? @Cotton Joe, I just did. Cotton Joe 1
jelris Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 @kinoko I was invited for that interview weekend as well. What's your area of research?
