<p>I feel like this program is unconventional enough that it could hinder my chances at getting into a phD program in English later on. It seems so cool, though! Thoughts? Any good places to apply for English grad school, perhaps with an emphasis in theory? </p>
<p>I am an English/journalism double major with a minor in religion.
TAed an English Comp class last summer, have had many positions at the school paper, interning at a local newspaper right now, plan on writing my English thesis next year and applying to Americorps for next summer. </p>
<p>I have no idea where to apply for English. Please help?</p>
<p>1) broad and great background in literature
2) papers and research</p>
<p>both are ridiculously well covered at st. johns. I also know a guy who went to the santa fe campus, had offers from princeton and berkeley for well-funded grad study in french (which has basically the same requirements as english grad program) and is now a translator. no need to worry! the st. johns program is wonderful.</p>
<p>And don’t forget the language requirements. </p>
<p>St. John’s is wonderful preparation for an English PhD program. If I remember correctly, you have two languages (French and Greek, right?) and a broad preparation in important literature and thought. Students have a close working relationship with faculty, so getting the necessary LORs shouldn’t be an issue.</p>
<p>The best way to find out is to ask St. John’s where other alumni have gone on to graduate school. You may be pleasantly surprised.</p>
