crae Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just noticed that someone posted an acceptance via website. When I logged in, it said my decision was still in progress. Congratulations to whoever got in! If you care to discuss, did you receive an email notifying you of the decision being available on the site, or did you just randomly check? Congrats again!

byronlover Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 crae, thank you! I just randomly checked the site and saw the acceptance. I have not received emails of any kind. Good luck to you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byronlover Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 For some reason, after I log in as byronlover, my account shows up as bryonlover (misspelled). Trying to log in the misspelled way fails. I am mystified. Just wanted to clarify that I know how to spell Byron's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awin Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Do you mind sharing your stats and the profs with whom you're interested in working? I'm really surprised that you've been notified so early - this may be the earliest Iowa acceptance on record at Gradcafe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really surprised that you've been notified so early - this may be the earliest Iowa acceptance on record at Gradcafe! Yes, I second the strangeness of the notification. It's almost a month earlier than last year's notifications, which also were e-mailed rather than first updated on the grad school page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double-checked the page again this morning to make sure I hadn't dreamed up my acceptance.. luckily, I hadn't. I graduated summa cum laude from Washington University in 2009 and am completing my MA now at the University of Virginia (~3.9 GPA). My GREs were 730 verbal, 600 quantitative, and 6.0 writing. I work on the long nineteenth century, but specifically the Victorian novel and animal studies. I want to work with Teresa Mangum, whose publications on pet culture (and dogs especially) align perfectly with my thesis on dogs in Eliot and Dickens, and possibly with Florence Boos, since I've just started researching on Victorian domestic spaces. Good luck to the both of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Virginia MA is impressive, and animal studies are getting a lot of respect. Congrats. I drove through Iowa City one time. It looked like a neat place.

Oddly enough, it seems we have scarily similar research interests, and mentioned some of the same professors in our SOPs. I guess this means I'm out since they probably don't want two people working on identical topics. . . ah well. Many congratulations to you again. This is a wonderful achievement!

transcendental Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Anyone hear anything from Iowa lately? It's one of my last few chances. Seems like we might be hearing soon. (p.s. congrats to the previous admit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byronlover Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks again, guys! If it makes anyone feel better, I still have heard nothing from the department. The letter telling me of my acceptance came from the graduate school. I'm actually in the process of emailing the DGS now, since it's been three weeks since I got the good news and I would like to know something! If I come up with anything useful, I'll share. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
