What are my chances: Ph.D. Comparative Literature?
I’m interested in applying to top Comparative Literature Ph.D. programs.
Schools in mind: SUNY Buffalo, NYU, Columbia, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, JHU, etc.
My Stats: JHU undergrad. Psychology/English/Spanish triple major, Mathematics/Latin American Studies double minor, 3.8 GPA. Honors thesis in humanities.
Leadership/Activies: president of 2 national honor societies, vp of dance company, clarinetist at Peabody Conservatory (of JHU) and wind ensemble, ballet student at campus dance studio, and member of NSCS.
Work experience: 2 years as research assistant through undergrad (in psychology), summer internships (i.e., advertising company in nyc)
Studied Abroad in: Bolivia, Argentina, Florence, Paris
Worked Abroad in: London
Languages: English, Spanish, French; working on Italian, but taken no classes (yet).
Good recs.
Still need to take GREs.
What are my chances — from info I have supplied?
In my opinion, everything so far looks great.
Your recs, however should be much better than “good;” they should be great.
And again, in my opinion, your GREs will be a major factor in determining both admission and awards (fellowships, assistantships). Don’t worry about your quantitative scores, but your verbal and writing scores should be absolutely excellent (over 750 and at least a 5).
Best wishes to you!
