   Thanks for all of the information. I will certainly mention my background in teaching and see if I can reduce my debt by planning for that; I teach English and have taught various college courses/writing. Too bad it's not a like some grad schools (...

   Not sure if anyone knows the answers... 1. Does Yale ever give teaching or research assistantship jobs to GEPN students? When I did my first round of grad work I had one or the other and I haven't heard anything about TAs or RAs through the applica...
