Anyone else applying to this field for Fall 2011?

I am not applying to the field, however, I do know a couple of colleagues that are applying to some programs in the mid-west. What's up?

I wanted to know what schools are applying to. I'm applying to Michigan State, Minnesota, Illinois State, ECU, and Auburn--programs with a heavy emphasis on cultural studies and tech comm.

Hello,

I applied for a couple Midwest programs. Did you check out Iowa State? They have a really strong professional writing PhD. Are you applying for MA/MS or PhD programs?

I'm applying to Carnegie Mellon's program for Fall 2011. All of my other apps are to English Lit MAs and PhDs.

I steered away from Iowa State, as a result of many factors. I'm applying to MA programs.

I didn't apply to Ohio State, but I've also been told it's a great writing program (from one of my graduate school professors who went there). I know MN is difficult to get into because they don't accept many MA students: 1 last year and 3 the year before. My contact there spoke very highly of Iowa's program, where she'd gotten her MA/PhD, but the whole cornfield thing got me. She also talked up Washington.
