Thank you! And to you as well. I am not hopeful t be honest because according to gradcafe results from previous years most(if not all) acceptances were sent out in one day. Rejections were sent in following days. :/

No words about my application either... We might hear soon.

Oxford decisions are out since yesterday. Good luck to everyone who applied.

I was also curious about how one can polish their application especially when one has a "full package" application including prestigious scholarship and a journal article... I assume that might be helpful for future applicants who have similar achievements.

Graduate (MA). I also received suggestions to make my "extracurriculars" as relevant as possible to philosophy or my AOI, so that goes with: "What they will probably not care about is whether you played sports or were in a band or in a Greek society, for example, which is what one usually means when one says extracurriculars don't matter for grad school, unlike undergrad."

I was thinking about the same since I presented my work at a number of student (postgrad) and professional conferences, have two publications in top journals alongside 2 book reviews (one more upcoming), invited talks and several workshops/summer or winter schools, one internship and four TAs. My "extracurricular" activities are closely (if not directly) related to my AOI. However, I am also not sure whether this will have any impact concerning my application. Sometimes I find myself thinking that it might since I applied to the PhD programs with a lot of professors interested in same areas.

Hello everyone! I am well aware that it might be way too early but is there anyone preparing for the upcoming application season? I am finishing my 2y Research Masters Program in the Netherlands and I planning to apply to both North America and Europe: Princeton, Columbia, GSU, Pitt, Toronto, Oxford, Birmingham, King's College London, Central European University, Stockholm and Helsinki. My interest include philosophy of psychiatry and bioethics. Cheers!

Hello everyone! Does anyone know what is a number of applicants and accepted students for DPhil at Oxford? I tried to find answer but it was quite general: 112 applicants and around 15 people accepted per year. However, this info is for all graduate students in philosophy and not necesarilly for DPhil only. I honestly wish all of you the very best of luck with your applications!
