In at BU off the waitlist. Time to sleep for a million years and maybe not have nightmares for once. 

Meno's Paradox for the 21st Century.

Perhaps. The entire application process is so opaque and mysterious, it very well could be the case that the only difference in my application that mattered to admissions committees was the writing sample I was able to improve over the summer. But seeing that I would be "master's-prepared" when starting my Ph.D. might have helped. Seeing the Latin and Greek reading list I will have completed by September might have helped (at least for my applications, given the emphasis on philology in a lot of ancient philosophy programs). The extra semester working (in one form or another) with most of the professors writing me letters might have helped. Who knows? 

Accepting Stanford's offer now. I can't believe this entire process is over. It's been one hell of a ride.

Ann Arbor just offered me a spot off their waitlist, which I have declined. So if you're still on their list - they may be getting in touch with you soon!

I'm a big fan of MySpace, personally.

I've come to characterize my complaints about the difficulties of making my decision as being of the form:
"Look at my yacht! It's so large! I have so much cleaning to do!"

I wish I thought I would go somewhere. I really feel torn between Chicago, Princeton, and Stanford at this point. And I have no idea how I'll manage to make up my mind by Friday.

I was declined everywhere I applied last year, except for Fordham. Decided to try again, begged the grad director at my program to let me do a one-year MA, slaved over a new writing sample over the summer...
and it worked out. I think it's definitely worth a shot.
