LateAntique Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Anyone doing it? Anyone heard good or bad things about their program? I know a few of their professors and they're very lovely and intelligent people. The few students with whom I've spoken seem to really enjoy the program.

LateAntique Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Does everyone at least know that Iowa is a state? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe001 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 This forum is kinda dead, no one answered my question about Minnesota or Colorado :/ And I'm not sure that Iowa has much of a reputation as a premier classics department. But as long as you find professors there that share some of your interests, it's always a good idea to apply there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynthSounds Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hi LateAntique, I guess it's a little late to add my input, but I have a very intelligent and sweet friend who is getting his Ph.D in Classics at U of Iowa and is completely in love with the program - he chose it over Cornell, if that means anything.

johndiligent Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have a friend who attended several years ago and is now faculty at a reputable institution in the contiguous United States. I can't tell you much more than that but it was good enough to get her tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to hear your friend is doing well with her career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe001 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Damn, Iowa sounds like a pretty good place. Maybe I should've applied there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe001 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Not too late - the application deadline is January 15. Eh, don't wanna expend the time, money or effort. And my recommenders have been a pain in the ass so I just want to get this process over with and see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should've applied to Michigan and University of Texas at Austin, but I just didn't have the energy or money to do two more apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateAntique Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Who posted the Iowa Ph.D admit on the results? Do you mind sharing your research interests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
