Boom! (you're welcome )

Please place UPenn declines below vvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Bummer.

Ha! Mainly Matt Haber, Jim Tabery, and Jonah Schupbach. But they have a bunch of cool people doing stuff related to what I'm doing (Stephen Downes, Melinda Fagan, Anne Peterson, Dustin Stokes, Miriam Thalos), which is a big part of the appeal. The resources are quite deep. Plus, they really emphasize developing teaching expertise in addition to research, which is huge given the current market.

Removed myself from consideration at Indiana HPS.

How do you (or would you) guys break a tie between two programs that seem like a virtual dead heat?

Just declined ASU HPS. I feel gross.

Removed myself from Mizzou and FSU waiting lists.

The Gricean implicature of this is failing to parse for me. More reasons I hate phil language (namely, I don't understand philosophy of language). Thanks for the downvotes anyway, @Adequate Philosopher! It merits mentioning that when I created this thread the intention was that it operate in a pretty free-form manner.

You're right. It does sound pedantic.

Passed my MA thesis defense today

ftfy

8, actually. I was accepted to Utah off the waiting list lol

Noice.

I grew up in Riverside. It is neither laid back nor free.

I did. Everyone was super friendly. Very nice departmental atmosphere.

I almost did my MA there. Cool group of people.

I think we've established that a high GRE score is neither necessary nor sufficient for being admitted, but you should still get a high score if you can. Not the most helpful of conclusions.

What the hell is going on at Indiana HPS? Does anyone have any intel on this???

Congrats! I hear it's a pretty cool MA program.

I wondered the same thing. I know who I'm rooting against in March Madness now.

Nope. Just that there's a good chance they'll be moving to the WL as April 15 approaches. Sounds like they just finished finalizing the WL, which seems odd. But I dunno. Rawling made it sound like I have a decent shot at getting admitted. have they told you what the funding is like? That's gonna play heavily into whether I consider them at this point.

"How much longer before you get a real job?" My response: "How long before you spend some time thinking seriously and carefully about something for once in your life?"

Waitlisted at Florida State. Might remove myself.
