MissingBlue

No rejections yet--waiting on Cornell and Stanford. I didn't hear anything from San Diego, but the Science Studies program apparently only decides in March. I'm still not clear on what the protocol with Philosophy+Science Studies admission notification is. I emailed Eric Watkins a week ago, but he hasn't responded. I felt silly applying to only four schools, but my advisor was very encouraging and my finances were too low to apply to more. I decided to aim high. So happy it paid off!!

From an MA.

Thanks I'm from a non-ranked school in South Africa, so I really didn't think I'd stand a chance.

I was starting to lose hope but then, suddenly, I got an acceptance email from Pitt! First acceptance and it's the best school I applied to! I had to get my partner to read the email to me, because I started hyperventilating and jumping up and down just at the sight of the subject line, 'good news from pitt'.

Of course, you're totally right. Congrats to all already accepted. Let's hope for some good news today!

Sorry--typing on my phone, and pressed the wrong button at the wrong time

MY question is how you can claim that you are attending if no one at the school has given you an indication of your admittance. What justifies your claim??

Could we have a clear answer on how you know you've been accepted without being notified in any way of said acceptance? What is going on?

Thumb-twiddling and browser-refreshing.

Hi everyone, I'm new. Quick question for those accepted to UCSD - did any of you express interest in the Science Studies option?
