Round Two: 9 down, 0 to go!
Dear Robert:
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been admitted to the Graduate School of Northern Illinois University for the Fall 2011 semester to pursue a Doctoral degree in English. To accept your admission, go to the Student Center in MyNIU. Failure to do so will prohibit you from registering for classes.
You should arrange with your new department for an appointment to meet with an academic adviser prior to your first registration as a graduate student. Any deficiencies still to be resolved will be determined upon your arrival.
If you are unable to enroll for the stated semester/session, you may petition the Graduate School, in writing, to defer your admission up to but not beyond two years. Such deferment is subject to approval by your major department or program and the Graduate School, and your request must be received by the Graduate School no later than the end of the semester/session for which you have been admitted. Failure to enroll for the stated semester/session or to defer admission by the last day of classes for Fall 2011 will result in cancellation of your admission.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Graduate School. Again, congratulations on your admission.

It's those $50 checks Mom sent to the Huskies every year.
Seriously, congratulations. They must have been able to discern your Midwest accent.

WAHOOO!!!! That's so great! We're so sad you'll be so far away but at least we have one more reason to visit the midwest!
Well, we didn't say we were GOING there... :)
We're still working it out. As you see, the application letter specifically said that deferring for a year or two is a possibility (which is almost never an option at the more selective schools). I've got an interview with BYU just tomorrow (over the phone) for a job teaching composition for a year. Most likely we'll take that if it's offered and then head to a PhD program the next fall.
For now, we're just praying!
Congratulations! We're praying for you and are thinking of you. Good luck at your interview tomorrow!!!! We love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
