Just declined Boston University and Georgetown (with funding). And I plan to accept my offer from Riverside!

WOW! just offered a spot at Riverside... I hadn't previously been notified that I was waitlisted!

Had you been funded at Georgetown?

Okay, so...anyone decide to turn down Berkeley yet?!

waitlisted at Boston. I'm stuck in waitlist land

...a vanderbilt notification? (why does it say notified/posted Feb 14?)

In at Georgetown! After being totally shut out last year, an offer feels good.

I was wondering this as well—was really hoping to hear back from them. Congrats to those who have!

AND just so its clear, this is where anyone and everyone who turns down their Berkeley offer (or WL) is to report immediately!

I'd also imagine that its somehow ordered by AOI, but I wonder how strictly. Unless you heard from someone in the department, I think you can only speculate...It may be, for example, that have 4 or 5 waitlists grouped by specific areas; or they may have just 2 very broad lists. As far as my own interests go, I'm primarily into history (Kant and German, as well as 20th century), but also hope to work on philosophy of perception, and aesthetics/method. What are you all interested in? In any case, I was surprised by the positive tone of the email—as SteveZissou also noted. I'd wondered if they were that positive to all on the WL, because if they were its hard to imagine that everyone on the WL has "a good chance to be offered admission," haha. Are any of you planning to visit the department in April? I'll definitely be visiting, and I'm excited to meet others who've been accepted/WL'd. Good luck!

Bummer! But thanks for the heads up—good to know. Yea, hopefully we'll hear something soon. Just out of curiosity, whats your area of interest? I'm interested in history of philosophy and theology...particularly religion in Kant and German Idealism

Hey, just wondering if anyone else applied to UC-Santa Barbara and UNC-CH? Any guesses on when either might release? I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

Oh! It looks like Vanderbilt is predicted for tomorrow. Is anyone else hoping to hear from them? I'll be waiting on U-Chicago, Vanderbilt, and Brown this week. (Though, I see that someone posted an acceptance from Brown already. Hopefully thats not not it for them this year.)

thanks! I really hope so. did you hear that our old DM got into FSU?

I'm on the WL for UC-Berkeley! Very excited. Would love to go there.
