<p>Hi
I'm looking to do a PhD in English. I'm from England and don't know a lot about how American Universities accept people. Here's a brief profile, I'd be really glad if you could let me know my chances for the above schools.</p>
<p>I have a degree in English with a GPA 4.0. I got As in every course I took, except two (which were Bs, and the highest score possible in a B).I got the highest overall result of anyone graduating English that year, and an award from the university.</p>
<p>I'm now doing a masters, and getting straight As on that. Will having a masters help? I know most US students enter a PhD with just a BA. </p>
<p>My high school results were similar, mostly As. I only got Bs in science</p>
<p>I already fulfill the foreign language requirements for the programs too.</p>
<p>I also volunteered in a school, as a literacy assistant, for 2 years. I also work (unpaid) in a scheme that encourages disadvantaged teenagers to consider college education.
I'm the proof-reader for the university newspaper, and write articles frequently too.
I also had a radio show on university radio, and worked with the drama society and the local independent film theatre.
I enjoy photography and also play 4 musical instruments and have played in an orchestra.</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
