Generic email. I have a first class BFA and am currently completing an MA in Humanities with a concentration in Literature. My undergraduate GPA was 8.7/10 and my current average is 9.3/10. I scored 115 in the TOEFL iBT. In 2023 I won a Spanish national poetry prize.

$6,000 graduate scholarship and pending need-based aid. First acceptance, though! 1a/1wl/1r/6p
