Doctoral/Master's Programs

I figured that people might be interested in the programs to which I hope to apply. Below, I have copied the fancy Excel document of the programs which now interest me. The highlighted items didn't copy over, however, so I'll let you know that UW's Women's Studies PhD program is my top choice right now (I want to stay here!) with UCSB, UC Irvine, UCSC, Stanford, and Claremont's programs pretty much all tying for second.

Let me know what you think! Also, pay attention to the crazy degree titles-- I'll try to put more details later once I figure out which one's I'm more interested in. The UW program only takes three PhD students a year, so I need to focus on getting a large chunk of apps out there. Also, I'll need to take the GRE again-- cruel world! I'll plan on taking it this summer, when my brain can rest a bit more than usual.

Anyway, here is the lovely, lovely table (costs started disappearing because I realized I pretty much can't afford anywhere but the UW without substantial aid, and if I'm going into debt for my education, I might as well go for bust!...):
