University of Virginia! Just accepted their offer.

I just got into UVA. Literally in shock. Can't move. Must drink. So happy. Will most likely accept. This means that UVA might not make any more offers.

THANKS FOR ROOTING FOR ME GUYS!

THANK YOU BASED GOD!!!!!

Remember to wave this in Virginia Tech's face and tell them to suck it.

In the wise words of Kierkegaard qua Johannes Climacus,
 
 
In any case, I'm not sure who Wait For It...'s post was directed at, but just to explain myself: I grew up in Texas and so I'm rather familiar with Southern Baptists, and I've had some interaction with Baylor's PhD program. I'd frankly be surprised to see Baylor's program make it into the top-50, but I'm willing to stand corrected if the time comes. But that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to clarify. I'm not religion-bashing, or bashing religiously inclined individuals. I'd be in an awful predicament, as someone with a faith, to do so.
 
What I am doing however, is having some fun at the expense of the Baptists; for hopefully obvious reasons, much as I'd poke fun at Intelligent Design advocates without any concern for presenting "professional arguments." So, my apologies to stressedout, who is apparently still rustled from the other thread.
 
Which by the way,
 
 
is terrifying to read. Intelligent Design (as a self-purported evidence-based scientific theory) is uncontroversially laughable, and the suggestion that one must "reckon with the work of ID theorists" just baffles me.

I feel all jittery, I just got an email from UVA saying I'm high on the waitlist and that if someone doesn't accept it's likely I will be. So seriously, if you are accepted at UVA and are probably going to decline, please do so as soon as possible. If you are going to accept at UVA and haven't yet, do that as soon as possible, I'll like to be able to tell Florida as soon as possible what I'm doing, so if I need to get rejected from UVA I would like that to happen now rather than later.

Also did anyone else get this same email from UVA?

If by "faith" you mean the above, then I'm not sure epistemology is anti-faith. 

Yes, it's not as bad as it could be. But I just don't understand the need to go around trying to put other people (or schools) down. There are many people (or worldviews) with whom I disagree but I neither want nor need to  make pithy, negative statements about them. I usually find that I'm inclined to put others down for their beliefs only if I'm feeling insecure myself.
 
That said, if someone has a good objection and wants to go about things in a serious manner, go ahead. That's philosophy (though it would still be entirely irrelevant to this site and suited more for PM).  

"good objection" in a "serious manner" aye?  Ask TheEstablishment.  He's a reasonable person who will engage you in a serious manner with good objections, or so I hear.

Thankfully it's not that bad. Nobody has called you a fundie, yet, funDIE.

(I feel like I need to be clear this is satire.) I'm honestly concerned too, a lot of religious people make good philosophers, including two of my professors I had at my undergrad who I am immensely indebted too.

Really? Does the name Alvin Plantinga mean nothing to you? Haha, sorry, but there are a lot of religious epistemologists, a lot of whom produce good work. And some who don't. Just like normal fields.
