    I've come to characterize my complaints about the difficulties of making my decision as being of the form:

    "Look at my yacht! It's so large! I have so much cleaning to do!"

    Haha I like that way of putting it! Where do you think you'll go?

    What are your secrets, you philosophical wizard?

    I wish I knew! In early February, I spent a lot of time worrying about getting shut out, and in my more optimistic moments hoped for one or two offers. 

    I will of course only be able to take one place, which is good news for people on different waitlists. :)

    I think you need to screenshot your offers from Brown, MIT,  Yale and NYU and send them directly to the DGS at Harvard :) 

    Hahaha! I can't exactly complain about Harvard not having made me an offer, though!

    Thank you for letting us know! And huge congrats on the fellowship. :)

    Thank you both! :) Just for some detail, I just got an email with title 'Decision made' on Friday afternoon. This just told me to check the website, and there was an official decision letter there. So expect something like that and not an email from a professor. Good luck!

    Strangely enough you do complain about Princeton having only one admitted applicant, and nobody says a thing about Brown having only one too!

     

    And, I can't find anyone claiming that admission. Anything to say about it? 

    Hi, claiming the Brown offer. I am assuming I got notified early because of the university-wide fellowship, and that other offers will go out this week (though I don't know for sure). It looks like they haven't made any other offers so far, so I would definitely not be worried about not having heard back yet. Good luck to everyone who applied there! :)

    This is just to let you know that the Facebook group for women-identifying applicants will be functioning again this year, and I'm the new admin. If you would like to join, please private message me and I will add you to the group. The aim is to create a supportive space for women-identifying applicants, and it includes useful information about the climate at different departments. Please message if you would like to join! :)

    Fall 2016 Applicants: Introduce Yourselves

    Hi everyone!

    I'm the new admin for the private Facebook group for women-identifying applicants. If you would like to join, please private message me and I will add you to the group. The aim is to create a supportive space for women-identifying applicants, and it includes useful information about the climate at different departments.

    Just a little bit about me: I'm currently in my final year at Oxford studying Maths and Philosophy, and my main interests are in Philosophy of Mind and Early Modern Philosophy. I also enjoy formal work, and am keen to delve deeper into ethics and epistemology.
