Notes
subfield is japanese literature, specifically since the Taishou period transferred for consideration for an MA in the same program. currently about to finish an MA in English, Literature and Critical Theory from a so-so state university. had one semester of intensive-language study at a reputable university in Japan, 3 years of formal language study, strong recommendation letters, an invited contribution to an edited volume, national academic conference experience, and a graduate award. did NOT have: any JLPT certification, teaching experience, or external funding, and only one of my recommendation letters was from someone in the field East Asian studies. i did not have an interview, and i had not directly communicated with any of my professors of interest at Columbia. congrats to those that got in--hopefully i'll have the pleasure of meeting you as an MA student.
