Did anyone end up going for Penn?

I got in off the wait list at Penn - already accepted.

Anyone going to decline an offer from Penn?

Thanks for the information. I was aware of that - I was wondering whether someone on the waitlist had been rejected.

Can anyone claim the recent UPenn rejections?

A 3.9 GPA is only good for law school admissions if it's an undergraduate GPA. Law schools do not care about your graduate GPA as they do not get ranked on that GPA. They are ranked on UGPA and LSAT scores, which is why they care mostly about those. Unless you have a masters in a hard science (which would make you good for patent law), your masters degree doesn't really count for much. Source: I worked at a top 20 law school's admission department.

I was going to say this, but was wondering how many posts it would run on for.

Cambridge grad here. It's Kobe status to have his portrait in Trinity College's dining hall. Only non-white man on the wall.

I meant which schools are going to be making noise... which is what I'm assuming you're talking about.

What's happening? What's the party?

You're lucky you didn't include the abstract: "Andy Clark and David Chalmers argue that the hypothesis of extended memory and belief (HEMB) provides more explanatory power then its denial;" Do you mean than its denial? Your writing sample would have contained an error in the first sentence.

zblaesi - do you think it might be anything to do with your fantastically low quantitative score on the GRE? NYU is the top school, and there are probably many candidates that have qualifications just as good as you, except with better GRE scores. What do you think?

Harvard Philosophy, PhD (F14) Accepted via E-mail on 4 Mar 2014 "Letter was kind of rude--I'm on the fence about this one" What?

Email them and ask?

I have applied to US programs - but only top programs (Stanford, Harvard, UPenn, Columbia). I've been waitlisted at UPenn.
