yeah Hume. It's like hello, 1781 called, synthetic a priori judgments are possible via their transcendental basis in the synthetic unity of apperception, idiot.

And why is it Hume?

Just turned down an acceptance (with waitlist for funding) at CUNY.

I didn't really tailor my statement except a few tweaks in the final paragraph if their website mentioned some sort of description about the department as such that I admired and could say that I fit with. I figured that after a page and a half of describing my interests my fit with the department should be self-evident.

FWIW, Vineyard has now taken jabs at Notre Dame and Purdue. Can we conclude from this that he/she is some sort of all-things-Indiana hater, i.e. an illini of sorts? Or, perhaps an IUB person who is duped into the ideology of college rivalry and detests the rest of the Indiana Unis? Why not answer this one for us, Vineyard. What do you have against these two Midwestern institutions? The Christian-bias is one thing, but what did the Boilermakers ever do to you? 

I'll claim one - which I just the other day declined. I hope that works out for you!

Having just gotten back from a visit, my prime piece of advice is to be proactive. If you don't come with your own concerns and really probe people about how they feel about the program, etc., then you're just going to get the standard spiel you get from the department website. Try to think of concerns and questions you have before you arrive and don't be timid.

what do you mean it's totally a book about logic. too much for ur "abstract understanding" huh? that's okay the rigors of speculative thought aren't for everyone

No problem. I have a new theory. I think we're being rejected because these god damn analytics with their hygiene and conservative haircuts are taking all the spots. There's just no love for the finer things in life these days.

EDIT: Except for Dylanhelloglue (or however it's spelled). He's a nice analytic because he declined GSU's offer. I like him.

congrats on Columbia, Johannes! They were my last dream school yet to be heard from so it's unfortunate to see that I haven't received anything but with what I've got I can't complain. Best to you.

Columbia acceptance here!!! Hell yeah!!

Accepted to Boston's Phd program! To say I'm happy is understatement. :)

what I'd be more interested in seeing is how many people get into top-50 programs coming from non-top 50 schools (with and without MA)

i mean i didn't mean to brag - mostly I wanted to express my profound disdain for the whole MAPH affair - being what a cash-cow it is, the automatic acceptance deal strikes me as really unprofessional or at least strange coming from a department I respect as much as Chicago.

so the Chicago rejections and MAPH acceptances are rolling out. I just got one; nein danke.
