Should have been more clear (we're all philosophers, after all!), but I was referring to the priority deadline.

CUNY accepted someone. Honestly, this will be the one that hurts the most. That's my dream department.

Kelizabeth: Can't see how it could hurt. That seems to be an important change to your application.

And congratulations!

To mimic another question, it wasn't Duke, was it? 

Didn't even think to check the actual deadlines for schools (guess I assumed there wouldn't be trolls here). Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like someone just got accepted to Rutgers, so that makes at least two schools.
 
Forgot to mention in my previous post that my research interests are metaphysics and philosophy of language.

Schools: MIT, Cornell, UMass Amherst, Toronto, Ohio University, Brandeis University, CUNY, Maryland, Duke, University of Miami, USC, UCSB, Boston University.
 
GRE: 164 V, 154 Q, 5 AW
 
GPA: 3.6
 
Two undergraduate conference presentations (not expecting these to be a factor).
 
Two forthcoming book chapters in a communications/discourse analysis book to be published by Routledge.
 
Sample is a on some unpublished Kripke work. 

I've gotten to read one of my letters, and it was excellent. I'm assuming the rest are at least good.

Kelizabeth: Can't see how it could hurt. That seems to be an important change to your application.

And congratulations!

Now the University of Maryland, College Park is rejecting people, but no word yet for me. It may be the case that it's a similar situation to what I believe is going on with Santa Barbara, though this process has taught me that even cautious optimism isn't warranted.
