Snail mail? I wonder how many people got in.

You mean "worst desire" right?

Obvs. They probably didn't want to accept me because they didn't want it to seem weird when they give me a job offer in a few years.

Congratulations!

... Do you think they offer post-docs?

Thanks! To be honest, I have no idea. I'm not even sure how many people they admit a year. I also haven't seen any waitlists, so who knows. Are you at Vanderbilt right now?

I wish I could google myself but my name is so common that I'd never end up finding myself unless I really try. I got a call from Vanderbilt yesterday saying I'm in.

It's too cold here right now. Is there a good grad program for Ancient and Continental in the Caribbean?

Compared to what, though? I can imagine countless different ways one could improve ones application that are better than getting into debt for a masters program that's not even in philosophy proper. It's not like it's a lucrative field where you can expect to pay the debt back quickly after graduation. Unless you have money like that, in which case go for it.

I've heard countless times that one shouldn't accept the MAPH offer. You should definitely feel good about it, and hopefully it means good things for the rest of your apps, though. At the very least, be flattered.

>.> <.< maybe they are in the venting thread... Among us... Edit: it's not me though. I'm not into math.

Right, right and the 3 Stanford PhDs. Yeah, that person's problem is that they don't know how to brag or what to brag about.

To be fair, that MAPH program is somewhat insulting. I was planning on getting all pissy too if I got referred and now I'm all like, wut, that I didn't even get referred. They don't even want to make me pay a shitload of money to just have their school name on my CV. I get why that person would be upset.

The one that's like, I'm really great and all I got is the MAPH thing?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that anyone who didn't get an MAPH offer just got straight up rejected. I honestly don't know what that says about me as a candidate, but a part of me is tempted to ask. I thought that I'd at least get referred to the MAPH but alas. Maybe I accidentally insulted one of them? Even though I sent almost the same exact application to all my schools. At any rate, I think it's pretty safe to say that if you haven't gotten accepted yet, you won't be getting accepted this cycle. That's just how Chicago rolls. But I wouldn't take it to heart. At least I'm not. My app website says "submitted" and nothing else. I also haven't received an email. They're probably waiting for the grad school to change the application page or something. Not sure.

That 10k for day to day expenses seems like a conservative estimate. At the very least, everyone referred can feel a little better knowing they got referred somewhere. I wonder what the placement is like for a program like that.

Pfft. I didn't get that email. I guess I got regular rejected.

What does you application page say? Mine doesn't say anything. :/

I think they're just notifying the people they've recommended for the MA program. I haven't gotten a rejection either, and I thought they'd at least recommend me for the MA, so now I'm feeling doubly rejected lol.

Scheisse. Okay, der Satz geht an dich. But when I get to my computer, I shall prevail.

Die Prinzen? I thought we were doing cheesy songs. I have that song memorized! Beat that.

Me right now:

The French get love, too.
