it's an MA program so I didn't list it. I would love to go there. Don't know when I'll hear back.

Well, considering that Ad Hominem attacks are argumentative fallacies, and I didn't present an argument, nor attempt to refute one from you, and was making a general statement on the quality of your posts, I don't think my comments count as Ad Hominem. But let's leave this bickering, and leave this thread to discussion of acceptances.

Well it reads like you're addressing that to him to me at least. But then your posts normally are hard to follow, so I'm not surprised.

because the guy you're saying could go to Tufts to get into a top 15 school is already accepted there.

UNC-CH is ranked about 10

Yeah, the last phd program I have that as far as I can tell has released nothing yet is UMass, and I would probably go there over anywhere else because of placement and fit reasons, as long as I was funded. Thanks for the advice, if I get into UVA and Tech it'll be a hard decision for sure.

Of course. They seem to have a mixed record with placement, sometimes much better sometimes comparable, sometimes not as good. They have in the past however placed several students in my top choice, USC, so i would be very interested in trying for USC again, especially if I spend some time getting my quantitative GRE score up.

I'm really hoping by tomorrow. If not it has to be next week.

If Tech gave me full funding I would considering going there over UVA, if only because it is starting to seem more and more that UVA is the only phd program that seemed favorable to my application, so another year studying philosophy would put me in a better stance for applying again. But I still would definitely consider UVA!

Virginia Tech should've been out by now, the last few years they have. They are pretty much my top choice now, if they fund me, because after getting so many rejections/assumed rejections an MA seems like a good choice for me. I can barely contain myself at work just waiting for an email or phonecall from someone! PLEASE ADMISSIONS GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME!

It's a sad day that you can assume that the person on the internet you are arguing with about something that 100% matters is white, male, and heterosexual and be right most of the time. But I do it too

man I hope you're right.

woah what did I miss

Yeah this guy is legit! Congrats.

You're not. Have you listened to Schoolboy Q's new album? I've been spinning that lately.

Yeah, I think general announcements of "Please deny places you're positive you won't go to as soon as possible" are a good thing but there's no need to pressure anyone.

Congrats... [also I kinda hate you right now but that'll be over tonight]

If you can manage it, don't check the Grad Cafe, don't check results, just wait until you hear from them. Take your mind off them. This is too stressful!

Probably rejected, they've done waitlists and acceptances.

One can hope so, I honestly thought Hopkins might be a good chance for me.

What... crap

Maybe I'll send them an email. Maybe that's what this person did and how they found out.

There's a Johns Hopkins waitlist on the results page, which is odd, because the email I last have explicitly states that decisions would not go out until mid-march. Anyone have any more info?

Also has anyone heard anything or know anything about the University of Miami (Florida) yet? There is one email on the results list from yesterday but that's it.

May I ask why you only applied to one school? That seems stressful to only have one chance!
