Asshole. I just spit my coffee everywhere.

Has anyone heard from Tulane?

Annnnnd I've been rejected.

I would like to nominate you for the best username award.

I'm a little late to the writing sample party. I wrote mine on Nozick's theory of utopia from part three of Anarchy State and Utopia. PM me if you're interested in reading it.

Same. Just thought I'd let you know that you're in company.

I know some contemporary analytic philosophers of mind are interested in The World of Perception (I've never read it, and I don't know what for). Having read The Phenomenology of Perception, I can comment that his arguments against naturalism are interesting and so are his discussions of things like intentionality and qualia.

You continental philosophers are so on the wrong side of truth ( ) …..but some of us would really really like to borrow Merlau-Ponty for a couple of years. Can we propose a trade?

The GradCafe acceptance thread. "I hope we hear from X university today." Later that day…... "I really wish we hadn't heard from X university today."

Rejection from Loyola Chicago via post. I live in a major city, and so I suspect that I received mine well before most would have received theirs. Or my application was atrocious. Sorry for grammar. It's friday night and I just bought a new bottle of rye whiskey.

Congrats to the Upenn acceptees and waitlistees. Man I really wish I had gotten an email!

Can anyone claim that Washington-Seattle acceptance?

"I'll never be able to achieve everything I've worked for!"

That's how they did it last year, and that seems to be the way they're doing it this year. I hope they're not done either!

Congrats! It sounds like I got the same generic email from the graduate school.

Accepted to Binghamton.

Congrats dude! Finally some news!

I went to a fairly small liberal arts college. I remember thinking how great it was that all of the new hires at the school (not just in the philosophy program) came from Harvard, Columbia, or other top universities. The thought just depresses me now.

This thread has been threadjacked. Can we start using it for this kind of thing again?

Also, Loyola waitlist. Can anyone claim it?

I was just thinking that.

How did they notify you?

Ian Richardson is absolutely evil. One added benefit of watching the UK series is that you get a pretty nice understanding of how the UK government operates!

In order to keep myself from checking my email twenty times a day, I've been thinking of it as some kind of fucked up Newcomb problem. "If I check my email in the next two hours, then they won't send that acceptance email."

The Carnegie-Mellon and UCI LPS admit scored a 14 on their GRE writing. Baller status. In seriousness, congrats to that person. Those are two stellar programs!
