Good luck! That's so exciting. Thanks for the advice you've given regarding contacting profs. I've heard conflicting opinions about that, and I think my position is similar to mercadia's. That said, I've become a lot more open to the idea of contacting profs whose more specific interests overlap with mine, as opposed to those who are in my general areas of study. (I think that more or less goes along with what you've already said.)
Do you mind me asking more about your research interests? I was initially drawn to comp lit programs since they tend to be more theoretically oriented, but I don't quite have the language background (or, at this point, the theoretical scope), so English Lit is a better fit.
Anyhow, thanks again for your detailed replies, and good luck to you -- let us know how things go
