eriquita0115 Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Hey everyone, I have been accepted at University of Iowa (my first choice) for a MA in Second Language Acquisition and French. I am waiting on hearing about funding. Has anyone who applied to U. of Iowa heard about funding yet? Thanks! Erica
stylefaxee Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I applied for the Art History M.A. and received a letter from the graduate school yesterday stating that they could not fund me at this time, with an enclosed sheet about filling out a FAFSA. And yet I got 5 years full funding from Northwestern....huh? Iowa was my safety school.... I hope you have better luck!
eriquita0115 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 I had the news a bit ago that I will be a TA! I will be attending the University of Iowa!! Any other Hawkeyes out there?
Tayl0496 Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Any other Hawkeyes out there? Why yes. I too will be attending the University of Iowa starting in the fall, and pursuing a PhD in Philosophy. I will be on a fellowship the first year and TA for the remaining years. I know some applicants in philosophy (especially those that treat the PGR as the holy grail) would think I am crazy since I had comparable offers from better ranked schools but after my visit a while ago I know I made the right decision. I am super excited about starting classes and working with various faculty members; however, I am somewhat nervous about moving and all that jazz. I also hope to hear from some more future Iowa grad students and to hear their concerns, excitement, plans, programs, etc.
