OMG this video is perfect and so helpful- thank you!

I wish I had this video when I was applying! So helpful!

Awesome video! I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m applying to PhD programs and I just sent in my last application last week! It was the most stressful time of my life! I’m so excited watch your content and learn more about PhD life!

Thank you so much for this video!!! I'm a junior majoring in English at the University of Washington and decided I was interested in grad school during my sophomore year at my university, and your video helped me understand a LOT more about this. I am primarily interested in Literature rather than Comp & Rhetoric as far as English grad programs go, but this was extremely helpful. I'm really excited about applying to grad school even if I'm legitimately terrified about it. Thank you so much!

I've had a very similar experience. All my professors said to only go for schools that would fully fund me. Was definitely an important factor :) But thankfully it seemed that most PhD programs in physics fully fund students (at least the ones I looked at, and I applied to 10!). And Fall my senior year was HECTIC as heck, especially since it was my last semester. It was nice to hear about your experience. Good video!

Wow this feels so daunting. Specially as an international student but thanks to this video I feel I have an outline!

Thanks for posting this

I’m about follow your footprint. Good luck!

Thanks for your videos! I’m a junior English major thinking about graduate school so these are very helpful :) I’d love to hear about 1) what it’s like to be a woman in graduate school and 2) how you fostered relationships with your professors during undergrad so that you could secure good letters of recommendation

Super helpful! I'm currently in my fall semester before I graduate and I almost have all of my samples and statements revised and submitted for grad schools. It's really nice to hear I was not the only one super stressed and busy during this time!

Thank you for all the help!! I'm in my final year and these tips are extremely helpful!! How did you decide on a topic for your writing sample?

Thank you for this video! I’m currently about to start my junior year of undergrad and like you, I’ve been thinking a about grad school as the next step for me after undergrad. Although I plan to apply for sociology programs I think your advice is pretty standard for most grad programs:) I’m starting the process to begin looking in to schools that look like a good fit for me and it’s exciting but also scary haha. I’m using this time to build up my cv/ relationships with my professors I plan to ask for LOR. Did you have any research experience/ other kinds of experience before applying to your joint program? Also how far in advance did you start studying for your gre? Thank you!

Another Gator, I’m so glad to have found you!Thank you for this video, I did a gap year and just got decisions back for programs and got so far only got into Georgetown’s MA english program. It’s 2 years but not funded anymore though :( do you have any advice if it seems worth it?

Kind of sad that I'm only just now seeing this, as my first graduate school application is due tomorrow 😞But, better late than never! The one thing I'm slightly worried about is that the writing sample I'm submitting is in Medieval Literature, but I plan to study Renaissance. I should have submitted something closer to my interests, but I didn't really have any writing in that field, but I'm hoping that since I'm only applying to MA programs they will be fine with it.

Currently looking into a post-bacc English Education program. What exactly did you do in terms of funding? Are there any resources that you personally recommend about grants / scholarships, specifically for English programs? There’s a lot of information online, but I don’t know what can be considered as credible.

Were you published before you were accepted? I'm thinking of applying to grad school and since most are waiving the GRE due to corona, my professors have told me they're looking a bit more at student research and writing samples.

can u please make a video on how to get admission in phd program after my MA and do they need my MA marks or i can fill the forms before the result of masters..

Hi, I am just curious, did you email professors before applying to specific colleges?

Hey Sarah ... Please tell me ..what they teach in PhD course ?

Thanks for the detailed information. I just found your channel. So as an M.A. holder, how do I search for relevant universities that offer PhD programs and are fully fuded all the way... Searching mastery is everything :(

What is common in all PhDs ?

2:07 ouch😂😂

Hey! I am a post graduate student and holds 1 year of work experience as a content writer. I am planning to study abroad for courses like creative writing and new media communication. I was wondering would you be able to help me with the idea of how difficult it is to get the job? Though I am considering Ph.D as my end goal but to have a little bit of more hope doing a masters would give edge to my CV is what I have considered by my research. Any advice that you can provide as in the job oppurtunities? I know this is a lot to ask in one go. But let me know if you can provide any information about this.

Maam, I would like to do Phd In english. How can I contact you Maam? Please help... 🙁🙇‍♀️

This was a super informative video but I can’t get over how often you say “um” !!! As an undergrad, my teachers HIGHLY discourage us from using that. It’s so weird hearing you say “um” so often 😳

Would/could you please address the issue of mediocre scores and not a stellar CV? And how much a writing sample would factor in in that case?

Hey, as an international student, I’d like to get some advice on the writing samples that they require during application process. Could you please help me with that?

Hey Sarah, the video was really helpful. I am a Literature student from India, presently pursuing my Masters. I am planning to go abroad for my PHD and Indiana University was one of Grad schools that I shortlisted. I have a couple of questions about the application process and scholarship. Can I email you somewhere?

Dominican Republic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad that I have found your channel, am from India and looking forward to pursue PhD from US. I will be more than delighted, if you can enumerate 5/6 fully funded Universities (and am not looking for Stanford, Yale, Columbia, these are too hard a nut to crack) Thank You. 🙂 It will be kind of you if you can drop down your mail id or fb id, so that I can keep in touch with someone who has perfect hold of these issues.

Where do you study?

Do they let gamers into grad school?
