Just declined Arizona. AOI: ethics

Wonderful! Congratulations!!

Just declined Penn. AOI: ethics.

Sure. I mostly work in meta-ethics.

Just declined UT-Austin. Sorry it's a bit late in the process, but I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for letting me know! Here's hoping.. And congratulations on Columbia!

Sure, but convince someone to decline Pitt? Actually I plan to visit Penn mid-March, but very likely I'll decline. A lot depends on whether Pitt materializes for me.

I declined OSU earlier, I will very likely decline Texas soon. Anybody thinking about declining Pitt?

Some questions about money matters which I think are quite important: - How much is the net stipend, after deduction of all taxes? And what part of those deductions do you get in tax return? - What sort of health insurance do you get? What is the usual co-pay for prescription drugs and doctor visits? - If there are any semester fees to pay, do you need to pay them out of your stipend? And do these fees cover monthly bus passes? If not, how much does the transportation cost? Another unrelated question: - If there is a particular professor you'd like to work with, how friendly/supportive/pleasant is s/he known to be? (I would also ask my current adviser about this)

I would claim the second Austin acceptance. The offer includes a recruitment fellowship, so I'm sure more acceptances will come out during the week.

Another longtime lurker. I'll claim the Pitt waitlist.
