  1. Only Arizona. Has anyone heard a peep out of them since the release of waitlists?
  2. Just bumping to see if anyone's heard back about college placement or funding yet. Doing some serious worrying atm.
  3. I did too. I didn't list bioethics as an interest either.
  4. Thanks for that Jeremy. Is there any source you can point to me re: this?
  5. Hey, I'm waiting on pins and needles as well. Zero chance I can go without funding, and if it doesn't come through, I'm probably out of philosophy, at least for some time. If anyone had any evidence about the odds they could point me too, I'd be very grateful.
  6. Despite what the website says, you should email John Carriero. That's to whom my email was forwarded.
  7. Same thing they told me. I think the way they run their admissions is unbelievably awful.
  8. I got into Oxford's BPhil program, but I have no idea whether or not I'll get funding. Does anyone know what the odds are/average aid?
  9. Turned down my offer at Indiana. Hope this helps someone!
  10. Can anyone verify the Columbia waitlist?
  11. Same here. If I don't hear by early April, I'll be forced to withdraw.
  12. Hey all, this is my first post so I hope I don't break any implicit norms. I created an account to see if any of you folks might have some advice about how to make an upcoming admissions decision I'm going to have to make. Coming into the application season, I really wanted to do a PhD, but knew the application process would be wickedly competitive, so as a backup (and hoping for the possibility of doing a joint-degree), I applied to law school. Exceeding my wildest dreams, I've received full-ride offers from top law schools and I've been planning to go to one of these, expecting to get shut out of the PhD process. But now, after several disappointing silences, I've finally had a bit of success on the PhD side, and I'm somewhat at a loss as to how I should go about making my decision. While I truly love philosophy and think I could succeed in a PhD program, I think I could enjoy being a lawyer as well, and I'm scared that turning down a much much surer job and the scholarship money that goes with the opportunity would be super silly. Does anyone have any advice?
