Transcript: Scanned official academic transcripts and degree statements issued by the institution where you earned (or will earn) a degree for all undergraduate and graduate work. ISU current students or graduates are asked to upload a scanned PDF copy of their official ISU transcript into the application portal. Curriculum Vitae: Curriculum vitae including educational background, awards, accomplishments, and any teaching/tutoring experience if applicable must be uploaded as a supplemental document into the online application system. Personal Statement: 2-3 double-spaced pages uploaded as a supplemental document (leave application field blank). Be sure to include information about the creative writing projects you have completed or are currently working on, as well as any publications, honors, or prizes for creative work. Please include any teacher-training you’ve had, as well as any previous teaching, tutoring, and/or mentoring experience if seeking a teaching assistantship. For more information, please refer to http://www.engl.iastate.edu/graduate-students/prospective-students/how-to-apply-2/ Recommendation Letter: Three letters of recommendation are to be submitted electronically using the electronic letter of recommendation option in the online application system. These letters should be from persons qualified to comment on your preparation for graduate study in the major to which you are applying. If applying for a teaching assistantship, at least one of your references should comment on your teaching experience and abilities or on your potential to teach. If a recommender does not wish to submit an online LOR, you must download the Letter of Recommendation form, complete the appropriate sections, and send the form to your recommender. You must include our email address (englgrad@iastate.edu) or postal address (Department of English, Graduate Studies Program, 227 Ross Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011-1201 USA) for the recommender to submit their recommendation directly to the program. Audio File: An audio or video file demonstrating competence in spoken English (all nonnative speaking applicants only) must be sent electronically as an email attachment to englgrad@iastate.edu. This file cannot be uploaded into the admissions application system. This speaking sample should include 3-5 minutes of extemporaneous speaking. You might, therefore, begin by talking informally about your educational background and your reasons for pursuing graduate study. Writing Sample: Two writing samples are required. 1] Creative writing sample of no more than 25 pages of prose (double-spaced) or 15 pages of poetry (may use 1.15 spacing) demonstrating exemplary ability in one genre; we ask that you declare a primary genre, although once admitted, students will not be restricted to working in one genre. 2] Expository prose writing sample (5-10 pages double-spaced) displaying your command of scholarly research and accepted grammatical rules for written English. Applicants usually submit a scholarly research essay written for an undergraduate class or graduate course in English demonstrating critical and research skills.
