I AM WONDERING THE SAME THING

No news here either- what I really want to know is whether the rejections so far also have it updated on their MY UW page- that would be really helpful!

I'll drink to having a drink.

ugh so close- applied to U. New Mexico's PhD program and just got accepted into their MA Program. The school was a great fit for me. I really wish that schools with both MAs and PhDs let you matriculate into the PhD programs upon successful completion of their MA programs. What a bummer. Very nice email though.

It makes my day when I see that! Thank you! Well in other news I got rejected to the PhD program from U. Chicago but referred to their MAPH program with a very nice personal email from James Conant. I may be deluded, but I have the feeling that if U. Chicago did waitlists I may have gotten a spot on it. How funny that an ultimate rejection made my day, because the email was a real compliment and just knowing that the U. Chicago adcom liked my app enough to put it up for MAPH just made me elated. I'll take ANY FLATTERY I CAN GET FOR MY TENDER EGO RIGHT NOW! I won't be applying because I do have the Temple offer at this time and I don't want to go through this hellish process again, but it was just so nice to hear some positive feedback.

okay so who is the hilarious person who has been putting the schools' rejections on the waitlist in the results forum!!!!!!! It really helps make my day, especially the discouraging ones!!

Rejection from CUNY- totally expected but still lousy. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I just know that there are a few schools on the Hirsch list in the top 50 that aren't on the PGR at all, and that's why I wondered if the Hirsch rankings are considered a reliable resource for PhD rankings. (U Maryland is in the top 20, Temple is in the 30's), just some interesting differences such as those.

I figured this may be a good place to raise my question - does anybody know the validity of the Hirsch rankings on philosophy PhD programs? There is some huge disparity between many of the schools (though not all) on the Hirsch rankings and the PGR.

Question about Texas A&M- I didn't apply there- but is it true that if you enter their PhD program, you are required to get an additional MA in another field of study? Quite rigorous!

congrats to pitt and NYU acceptances!! I am not surprised I did not get into either- they were dream schools! But big round of applause to those who did! And I am mad jelly of those who are buddies with Chalmers!

Maybe he will call me to tell me my Nietzsche paper was so profound he has gone continental

today has been the biggest no news day EVER!! I was refreshing my phone at work all day for nothing

Okay so here is my question- did somebody actually get an email from UNC saying they were not a qualified applicant? Oh my God!

Me too! I had realistic expectations for that one, but I must admit, I loved its program! I was hoping maybe they had been drinking while reviewing my app and had therefore missed my GRE scores.

I am all about this comment

congrats to you as well for Georgetown and UCSD- way to conquer the day!!

Congrats to you that is amazing!! And reixis congrats on the U Penn waitlist!! Awesome news for you two!!!!!

basically, we need to make shirts that say "I actually have a PhD" and wear them while we work at Burger King

By the way do you think you know which way you are leaning towards with your two acceptances so far? so early in the game I know!

I'm very happy- just got accepted to Temple! Applying as an undergrad from an unknown school this is really, REALLY thrilling to have this locked in! It was an added benefit I happened to be with my family when I received the email haha!I don't know how much longer Joseph Margolis will be there- is is quite up there in age (he is brilliant- I wish there was a way to preserve him and keep him in good shape because I would love to work with him!) I know they have fabulous specialization in German Idealism, I just need to make sure the few profs they have that are analytic-oriented will be around for awhile still! I have more programs I applied to, but this was a great surprise!

congrats to you reixis! I hope that turns into an acceptance!!

very kind and classy posts! Congrats to both of you!!

I got it too and I think they did that just to be a tease- seriously!
