Admission Chances English Lit. PhD Programs

Graduate School

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I’d like to know what my chances are of getting into top PhD programs in English Literature?</p>

<p>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).</p>

<p>My field of interest is Modern and Contemporary Drama.</p>

<p>I did my undergraduate studies in Germany (American studies and political science), but didn’t earn an undergraduate degree (different system).</p>

<p>Right now I’m doing an internship with a literary magazine, and I’m also trying to get a teaching position for January.</p>

<p>Since German is my native language, I have already fulfilled the language requirement for most programs.</p>

<p>In addition, I will present one of my papers at a conference this October.</p>

<p>My GRE scores are (just taken last week):</p>

<p>Verbal: 640
Quantitative: 570
Analytical: ?</p>

<p>The Programs I’m interested in (I know, too many):</p>

<p>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

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>
