  1. I'll be attending Penn State this fall (excitement), and, like you, my interests are in 19th/20th century continental. I'd be happy to answer questions about applications if you want to PM me (I'll try to the best of my ability, anyway). I would also suggest University of Memphis. The school as a whole went through some unfortunate budget cuts this year, but they do have a pretty strong department, in my opinion. I applied to a few of the schools you mentioned, actually (though not the New School). Best of luck on your applications this year!!
  2. I was offered $4,000 more per year. No change in my teaching requirements, though. I also wasn't actually trying to get more funding, so maybe there was even more wiggle room that I didn't try for (I'm not the type to test a department!)
  3. I sort of did it accidentally. When I visited one program, they asked me what other offers I had, and then offered me more funding to beat out the others.. No idea if it's common in the UK though, sorry.
  4. Just around mid-day today, via email. Since it's Saturday, I imagine it's quite possible that no one will see my email until sometime on Monday!
  5. I declined my funded offer from Purdue today. I hope this helps someone!!!! My AOIs are 19th/20th century continental and social/political, broadly put. Best of luck.
  6. I was on the waitlist at Fordham, but declined several weeks ago!
  7. One of my friends was admitted to Marquette today. Sorry I don't have any other info, but it is legit!
  8. When I did my interview with Penn State, they told me outright that it was fine that I know absolutely no German since they had a German class specifically for philosophy students. (I have a decent background in French, but by no means fluent).
  9. If it helps, I'm leaning towards declining my offer w/ funding We have very different AOIs thought :/
  10. Damn, they must be special. I just got an email
  11. Thank you! They said they were planning to make 7 funded offers this year. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! It was a personalized email, so seems likely that they could take a while to get them all out.
  12. I can claim the Purdue acceptance. Email from Paul Draper about an hour ago!
  13. Removed myself from Fordham's waitlist today. Hope this helps some people out!
