Seriously. Everyone and their mother knows Harvard. I'd be so happy right now if I had been waitlisted there. Totes ded.

The solution is obviously to kill everyone who got in. Congratulations! That's like, HARVARD. A big fucking deal.

We were just talking about this yesterday and I was being a total stick in the mud brat!

So fantastic! I feel like I'm high.

The email said something like, "By now, I hope you've gotten the letter sent by the Graduate Dean's office with your admission to the Philosophy program." But I have not gotten any such letter, so I was a bit confused. I was trying to figure out who it was from, and thought it was another school until I saw something about the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy and thought, Funny, why would they want to meet in Boston? And then I was like OhhHhHHh. Yeah, I never got an admissions letter. Something must have happened to the letters since only one person seems to have gotten it. Basically, to answer your question, no, they didn't give any indication except that the acceptances have been sent out a while ago. But since I never got one, I can assume others haven't gotten one also.

I got into Boston College!!!

I got a Toronto waitlist!

How do youuu know his suspenders were under his shirt? Huh huh? But, Forreals, how does that even work?
-
ahem.

True. And hot dog pizza.

What even is "wrong"? Gotta keep up the omphaloskepsis.
-
Excellent, dude! So jelly, in a good way!

Honestly, depending on the time of day, I might give you a different answer. I think I'm going to wait until I hear back, and I'm planning on visiting all of the schools I get into as well. I'm trying to make decisions as soon as possible because I know a lot of people are on the waiting lists.

It's okay. It could be worse. It just sucks that I'm getting rejected from all the programs where I explicitly stated I wanted to do ancient philosophy. I've gotten into a few really great continental programs, but I'm starting to think it might be because one of my rec letter writers is just really well known in those circles. Sort of a bummer.

Toronto teased me mad hard, guys. Ouch.
-
They called me at around 1 eastern, so I'm not sure. But I am hoping they call you, too. It doesn't seem that they've started WLing yet, anyway, assuming that that's something they do. Fingers crossed!

Thanks!!! Me right now:
-
Gonna claim DePaul and Duquesne. It's gonna be a big week, everyone, so good luck!
-
Rank seems self-fulfilling. It def doesn't matter for continental, so I'm quick to dismiss it. I'm more concerned about whether the department is filled with uptight nerdbombs.
-
What! Awesome! Congrats!

Do we know if Boston College sent out all their acceptances yet?
-
Congrats, dude! You deserve it!

A reminder to really make sure your Skype is working if you have an interview. Mine wasn't and it was 10 minutes of disaster. Almost had to call FEMA. I can only imagine that they had my face in a weird position frozen on their screen for the whole time. We ended up having to just use Skype audio after I switched to a personal hotspot. I need like 20 cigarettes in my mouth right now.
