We're in a similar situation! NYC might be my favorite place in the world, and Fordham's program seems perfect for me. I have one PhD acceptance (Temple), with, so far, no information about funding. I have definite rejections from DePaul, Loyola, and Oregon, and an almost certain implicit rejection from Stony Brook. I'm waiting on Fordham, Villanova, Duquesne, BU, and Hawaii. It looks fairly grim! I hope that something works out for us!

I'm guessing that it's safe for you to celebrate. Congratulations! Fordham will be the first program that I'll have a really hard time letting go of. For now, I'm going to choose denial, and hope to get wait-listed. Who else are you waiting to hear from?

I am trying not to even think about Fordham! But, yes, I'm waiting on them too!

Oh, okay - cool. That's good news, actually, as there was an alleged acceptance.

Hi anon, You're referring to Temple, right?

Congratulations, recent posters! You've given me an empathetic hit of unwarranted optimism. Now, echoing the post above, I wish that whoever received the Villanova acceptance could share some information . . . Also - I'd love to hear from the other Temple admits. My email query about funding has gone unanswered for more than a week. It seems that in the past they've offered many unfunded positions.

Are the other Temple admits here? I've been waiting to hear about funding, and wonder if anyone knows anything.

No one has said anything about being wait-listed at Loyola, so maybe that is still undetermined . . . or maybe they'll even make some more offers - i don't think we know yet. I received my letter later than some, and was really getting my hopes up!

I'm in the southeast, and I received both letters by mail yesterday. Maybe there is reason for you to have hope? good luck!

Hi philosophia3, Yes - if I were to enter Temple, I would take it as an opportunity to get much more into aesthetics! But I'm not going to get my hopes up too much until I hear about funding.

Hi All, I've been watching this forum for awhile - It's been a big help, but I didn't have much to share until now. I'll offer some information about myself, and then I'll ask a question. I have an MA from an off-the-map state university. My interests are social philosophy, 19th c., especially Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Hegel somewhat, also Heidegger, critical theory, aesthetics, and comparative philosophy. I finished my MA in 2011 and have been an adjunct since, teaching courses for the honors program and the philosophy department at the same university from which I received my MA. I've taught a broad ranges of courses (I'm not sure that this helps my applications). My grad GPA is 3.97. I applied to: Boston U, DePaul, Duquesne, Fordham, Hawaii, Loyola, Oregon, Stony Brook, Temple, Villanova. I have explicit rejections from DePaul, Loyola, and Oregon, and an implied rejection from Stony Brook. I now have one acceptance: Temple. Can anyone claim the other listed Temple acceptances? Does anyone know much about their admissions process? There seems to be a surprising acceptance to rejection ratio on the survey, and few offers with funding. Also, I notice that though there are a number of you applying to many of the same programs that I am applying to, no one who is posting in this forum has mentioned Temple. What's up?
