NYU
UC Davis
UW
UC Santa Barbara
Vanderbilt University
University of Southern California

Do you want a list of places to go or not to go?

I'd say the two crummiest schools on the list are UC Davis and Northwestern...

Apply to:
Penn, NW, David, UW, UCSB, Vandy

Eliminate:
IU, NYU, UC-B, USC (Gamecocks)

My counsel, by low, sell high.
Find a school that has what you value that is not necessarily highly valued by the rest of the Gothic English Literature PhDs. That and go where someone will pay for school.

I would like you close to us but I could never encourage you to go to that school in Seattle (it shall remain nameless by me). However, as long as you don't start wearing their endorsed apparel I won't disown you for that choice. :)

Anna,

I can't eliminate 4, but I could eliminate 2 - UC Santa Barbara and Vanderbilt.....I think Univ of So Calif is also one that I would consider on the lower end....ghetto at the back door...I don't feel safe with you there....
