Honestly some of these comments make me like the guy even more, if only because they are flippin hilarious.

here's the primer for a Phd in dfindley:

Oh god please marry me right now.

Crap no more upvotes to give but I love this comment.

I'm not sure that "great" really applies to those programs. Decent programs, yes. Some of those places you mention have dismal placement records, and only a few strengths. I'm not knocking these programs at all, I wouldn't mind going to Iowa myself one day, but I just don't see them as being "great" programs.

THIIIIS!

I know that there are a few "Pluralist" departments that have decent placement, like Stony Brook, that aren't mentioned on the top 50 of the PGR. But I think a lot of schools that aren't on the top 50 PGR are pretty bad as well.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I 100% agree with the vineyard here. The PGR has a lot of problems, but Leiter just moving people up the list in exchange for speaking fees is absolutely absurd. And maybe a PGR debate thread would be alright!

I have confirmation that Umass have finished their first round but just haven't released them yet. Also the majority of their strongest candidates already have MA's apparently. I don't know however, when they will email/call people.

Man I hope I get to add something to this one day!

My guess is maybe they have information about the climate or want information about the climate for women? That's what seems to make sense.

Traffic sucks but it's a fairly nice place. Some great food (surprisingly Asian food) if you hunt around a bit. Good luck with getting off that waitlist!

Pretty much anyone here can add me as well, and if you can't find me drop me a PM and I'll send you riddles or probably just a link or something.

YES IT IS.

Do the hipsters in Seattle not say "tight"? They do here.

Where are you ? College students here (East coast USA) use it, albeit sometimes ironically, all the time.

I'm tired of us always having these crazy arguments and whatnot in other threads, and whatever so I thought we needed a lighthearted thread again to just not be serious in. Please don't argue here unless it's facetiously! Anyway, here is how I've been currently with only bad news coming across and nothing good:

I found you on facebook a while back and I bet I could again, want me to add you?

I'm not a woman but I think this would be a wise thread. However I have no idea how you could regulate such a thread!

Just got an email to check the website at Yale. REJECTED! OMG SO EXCITED.

I already have bad anxiety in normal situations. This waiting for grad school stuff makes it waaaay worse! Uuuugh Tech if you are reading this please Admit me, I love you all and I will be the best student and TA ever!

God now I'm soooo curious as to what that [deleted] post said. (Nevermind, I see that Goose posted it. And... WOW)

Today has been quiet, so hopefully tomorrow will dump some. Then next week will be pretty busy, especially with NYU admits.

Damn I used all my upvotes

No it got cut for funding reasons. I've heard they might open it back up in the near future though.
