And so is funding

What, exactly, is going on at Purdue? What are they waiting for? 

Welcome, and congrats on the Toronto and Syracuse acceptances! And the UBC waitlist! those are all fantastic programs.

Wow! Congrats to the Cornell and UPenn offers! Let's all hope this active morning translates into and active Friday. May the God of philosophy admissions smile on all of us this day!

My approach to the SOP was to use the same basic format for each one, but to populate it with different relevant details relative to the department to which it was being sent. So mine was tailored without having to write a totally brand new statement for each and every school.

Holy shit. That's the first time I've heard anyone use the term "tight" since like 8th grade. This made me chuckle quite heartily.

Scotch is tight. 

Makes me picture Alex Rosenberg turning red with smoke shooting out of his ears.

I just received an acceptance email from Wyoming. I'm very excited! This is actually my top choice for MA programs. Very small, personal department with a strong focus on phil science. Still waiting to hear about funding. Very excited!

At least Yale seems to have had the decency to be timely with rejections. Besides... f*** Yale

I didn't even apply to Yale and I got rejected.

Congrats!
