Why, what's the worst that can happen?

Nothing even if you check website?

There has been exactly 1 Irvine Philosophy acceptance, and exactly 1 HPS. Weird. EDIT: nvm, its not weird. 1+1 = 2. 2 is the number of cats that I wish I had. Cats stereotypically used in biological experiments, biology is a science, my focus is the philosophy of science, "philosophy of science" doesn't have an G in it and neither does my TGC profile name... Therefore, Irvine is going to accept me. Excited about this one! Can't wait to take visit!

Not positive but I think it's in Chicago.

U wanna fite again brah? Its funny, having acceptances doesn't make things any better when you go several schools in a row with no news.

Typically the Leiter-ranked programs don't interview...its some sort of standard I think. Unranked and MA programs seem to regularly do it though.

I'm guessing the scheduled Pitt response is for Phil, not HPS?

Wanna fite brah? Come @ me!

5 weeks? Funny. Waitlists will get finalized as late as the 15th of April!

I'm not going to take the time to read this thread but I'm pretty sure the right answer is abortion.

Congrats! So jealous....I want this one really bad! Enjoy your downvote good sir/maam.

I believe this is the case. My email came late in the day, prolly near quittin time. Each email its also addressed to you be name, so it does take at least some extra time. @aduh Okay, seeing as you are the only to report and it was at a very strange hour, If think that more are coming soon. Or at least I hope!

Yeah we want them to post it! Mass downvotes = mass respect+jealousy. Help the cultural meme reach full integration!

Congrats man! *Obligatory downvote* What an incredibly strange time for them to email you...Was it formal or informal? Personal or generic? Site updated or not? Your focus? BA or MA?

Am I missing something or is this actually about 20 dollars. If I were you, I would have paid 20 dollars to not have to deal with it.

International applicants by email, American applicants by phone. #criticalthinking #gg EDIT: Yes I edited this post to add hashtags. EDIT 2: Yes I edited this post to say that I edited this post to add hashtags. EDIT 3: Yes this is getting regressive so I'll just stop here.

I hope we just established a new tradition. Congratulate all of the acceptances....secretly flood with downvotes

Uh, yeah. Me too =X

More Berk acceptances incoming as we speak.

They probably wouldn't write you good letters anyway. Don't grovel at their feet. If a professor really wants you to succeed and supports you, they will make time to write and submit. You have been totally fucked over, I don't think it had anything to do with your emails, I think they just didn't really care about you as a student and just led you on and left you out to dry. You can try to scramble together other letters very quickly, or wait until next year. But you do not want a letter from these people.

I think this might be right many tines, but I think we have good evidence that Duke has not made their waitlist public. Several posted acceptances but none posted waitlists. I don't think we should be especially fearful/give up hope until people post acceptances and waitlists. Until then, all you know is that you aren't first round.

I think most programs will actually accept more than they intend to take, and still carry a waitlist after that. Some do it as you say, etc, but basically the point is that until we get a sufficient number of posted acceptances/waitlists, we don't really know how many were let in. Very annoyed to wake up to no emails, nobody claiming the Berkeleys in the forums, and no new results postings.

Something very similar to this happened to a student I know. First of all, they are very successful and were accepted to many schools. Second of all, you need to be ready to report this to the department if it doesn't work out. This is a huge fuck up by the faculty member, and if they clearly stated that they could write for you, you gave them the dates and they said it was fine, then they have committed a grave disservice to a student and will be reprimanded. I know that doesn't sound like much, but if you can't work it out with that person, you need to make sure this person doesn't do it to someone else.

Thats just silly, and honestly, I think you're just seeking attention because you should know by now that 2 acceptances on a Sunday does not mean every acceptance and waitlist has been given out

Looks like Berkeley is legit....exciting for tomorrow, hopefully more! Looks like I need to change my habit of chronically letting my phone die. As far as philosophy drop outs, some find they just don't like it. I highly doubt it is because these students "can't cut it" but they get older and find out they want something else. Don't scoff it, odds are one of us talking here will drop out.
