Admission Chances English Lit. PhD Programs?
I’d like to know what my chances are of getting into top PhD programs in English Literature?
I’m an international student and recently earned my MA in English Literature from Murray State University in one year (GPA: 3.8, two unfortunate B’s in my first semester).
My field of interest is Modern and Contemporary Drama.
I did my undergraduate studies in Germany (American studies and political science), but didn’t earn an undergraduate degree (different system).
Right now I’m doing an internship with a literary magazine, and I’m also trying to get a teaching position for January.
Since German is my native language, I have already fulfilled the language requirement for most programs.
In addition, I will present one of my papers at a conference this October.
My GRE scores are (just taken last week):
Verbal: 640
Quantitative: 570
Analytical: ?
The Programs I’m interested in (I know, too many):
Yale
Cornell
Columbia
Michigan, Ann Arbor
Minnesota, Twin Cities
NYU
Indiana, Bloomington
U of Pittsburgh
Ohio State
Vanderbilt
Purdue
Rochester
SUNY Stony Brook
UConn
UT Knoxville
Loyola Chicago
Texas Tech
Ole Miss
Thanks a lot!
