Loyola.

That's a lot of rejections from Emory in a very short span of time. Like the last hour, 8 rejects?

Thanks for reposting it.

Geeze. This vignette is depressing. That blows.

inorite? At least one school is predicted each day this week for me, having heard nothing yesterday or today...

W00t! Congrats!! (not to spoil any fun, but I haven't heard from either of those schools and I applied to both... crosses-fingers)

Congrats to both of you! EXCELLENT news!

Excitement!!!

I can think of a few reasons, but they apply more to the GradCafe's forum more than the database. But these are easy to connect. The most salient reasons: Suppose you've made your offers public, and have been identified. 1) There is a little bit of a negotiation that can occur (or not occur) when they know their direct competition. Like, if you don't have any other offers, they have no reason to sweeten the pot. They have no reason to offer you something very competitive, because they have no competition. You're showing your cards, which is more than they are doing. We, of course, are willing to share "Hey, this other school is offering me a fellowship for my first year", which is more apropos to contact directly. I'd rather they hear it from me via email than via grad cafe. 2) You may also have made your offers public and ask advice about the program, the pros/cons of the offers, and strategies on making a decision -- or even how to negotiate. Of course these conversations happen and should happen with your letter writers, DGS, and by communicating with their program's liaison. But in a public forum, this can backfire if your comments about a program may be interpreted negatively. It can also look inappropriate, if it is clear your goal is "How can I get one offer to up the ante?" I imagine an AdCom might be annoyed by that.

Congrats!!

I do, but every time I do, I think "What if this identifies me obviously?" AdComms check here too, ya know.

My friend is told it is not ranked.

The dance needs more spin. It's all in the wrist.

I bet OSU will have a few more acceptances (and rejections!) rolling out. The offers have been sparse. University of Illinois, Chicago I think will send some notices.

Rejected from Northwestern as well...

Congrats!!!

Welcome to TGC! Good luck on your app season!

Same!

I visited Fall 2015, for a social epistemology conference. October there was gorgeous!

Congrats! It's early in the season. Being told you're on a wait list is great news this early. I'd think wouldn't hear that they're waitlisted unless it is likely they might come off, so that hopes are not lifted without reason.

Hey LennyBound, I applied there, but, of course, no word yet. Are you enrolled at Bloomington? (you might not want to disclose one way or another: feel free to ignore or PM me if you'd like to refrain)

I was originally interested in the "convoluted" route, but I'm totally cool with this instead. It looks like the new threads are created.

Can we get a mod to rename the thread and/or split the thread?

Welcome! Good luck this season!
