I just declined UT Austin and WashU. My AOIs are language and metaphysics!

May I ask what your AOIs are?
Of course! Language and metaphysics.

Just declined my offer from OSU.

I solicited and did not get a rejection O.o They told me I am not accepted/waitlisted but not rejected yet.
My emphasis is not language though so maybe I will not be so lucky.
Edit:
Where else are you debating between?
right now I'm debating between WashU, OSU, and UT, and I'm "high on the waitlist" at USC. I'll almost certainly go to USC if I get in.

I was just accepted at Austin off the "waitlist for the waitlist." My AOI is language, and it sounds like the next admit will also be a language person if I ultimately decline.

Just declined USC and asked to be taken off the waitlist at Yale and Michigan.
Rutgers class of 2021!!!!
Congratulations!!
if you don't mind me being self-interested, do you know of anyone else who is planning to decline USC?
-
just declined UConn.

It's like this ridiculous process has come full circle: after weeks of relative peace, I'm back to neurotically refreshing my email every few minutes.
-
So... It's really emotionally and mentally draining to spend so much time and energy agonizing over a couple of offers when the possibility of getting off the waitlist into a way better program (where I would definitely go) is looming uncertainly over my head. Bah.

Did they tell you you were waitlisted or did you solicit? I wrote to them a week ago but haven't received a reply so I'm wondering if I should just presume rejection at this point.
I solicited. It took a few days for them to get back to me, though, so it might be worth it to hang in there a little longer.

just accepted off the UConn waitlist!

I'd actually prefer the 10th. Have you seen philosophers? Not necessarily the most prompt bunch.
Haha yes, that's true. I'd prefer that too, but I know a lot of campus visits are right against the deadline. The 10th might be asking a little too much in those cases.

I got 4.0 in analytical writing.
I was accepted by Stanford.
End of story.
Work on your philosophy, not on these silly numbers. An excellent writing sample can get you anywhere.
Yeah, I get the impression that the writing section isn't taken vey seriously by most departments. Especially since you can get a perfect verbal score and a 4 writing (which happened to me). Plus, they have your writing sample.
Verbal and quant matter to some extent, however, when it comes to funding from graduate schools at large. For example, I received the highest fellowship available at OSU as a (partial) result of my GRE scores.

So this is kind of a silly request, but it might actually prove helpful. Since it's a very real possibility that those of us on waitlists might not find out that we've been accepted somewhere until after the April 15th deadline (and might therefore have accepted a less desirable offer somewhere else), I was thinking that it might be a good idea for all of us to act as if the deadline were actually the 14th. If more offers are accepted that day rather than the next, it would (hopefully) free up more time on the 15th for departments to make new offers.
Thoughts?

I was wondering the same thing!

Just got a call from a California number and I jumped to answer it, thinking it might be USC taking me off the waitlist.

Based solely on your username and this reference, I definitely think we should be friends lol

Any chance USC isn't done with its call list? I'm perplexed because I don't see anything in my youSC portal inbox (i.e. no rejection or waitlist letter), nor have I received an e-mail, but I haven't received a call either.
Also does anyone want to claim the USC waitlist? I have a sneaking suspicion it's a troll, would be nice to have that suspicion allayed...
I can claim the USC wait list. I received an email from Gabriel Uzquiano.
