Naruto reacted to MentalEngineer in Decision Thread
Of the two, I only got into/visited Cincinnati, but I was really impressed. If you're interested in phil of mind, especially new and interesting approaches, it's a great choice. Plus it's starting to draw some notice in the rankings, so whatever value that holds is likely to increase during your time there.

Naruto reacted to nxr9 in Decision Thread
Accepted to LSU about a month ago; I had written them off because the acceptance offer explicitly said "without funding" - but they just came through with a pretty generous (for an MA) assistantship/funding package yesterday.
I'm waitlisted at GSU and accepted at NIU (unfunded) and the New School (40% off). Also presumed declined/hidden waitlist at 3 PhDs.
I'd love to go to GSU if I get off the waitlist, otherwise I'm leaning towards taking the LSU offer (assuming no movement on the PhDs).

Offered admission at the New School for Social Research, with 40% tuition award.
With the offers from U Chicago Divinity (full tuition covered with a stipend) and Yale Divinity (most tuition covered) for their MA programs, I'll have to ponder this a bit.

Naruto got a reaction from LAS22 in Declining offers 2017
I declined my offer from Florida State, removed myself from the waitlist for Purdue, and will decline my offer from Georgia. Hope that helps someone.

FYI, Carolyn Dicey Jennings has been collecting a bunch of updated placement records (including breakdown by R1 vs any permanent position) from 2011-2016 and releasing them on her twitter over the past few days (https://twitter.com/cdj140). It's info that's probably relevant to those of you who need to make a decision in the next few weeks.

Naruto reacted to Ibycus in Attn: Berkeley Admits
I feel it's my duty to share this article with anyone who has been admitted to UC-Berkeley (or might be admitted off the waitlist). Not gonna comment beyond that since this article is my only familiarity with the situation:

Naruto reacted to matchamatcha in Awkward Visits
Philosophers are just awkward in general. I'm obviously including myself in that generalisation, and realise that I too am quite awkward. I've had some pretty awkward interactions, and frankly, I get tired of only talking about what kind of philosophy I'm interested in. I won't think too far into it though, I know I take a while to warm up to people, and I'm inflicted with resting bitch face so people take a while to warm up to me.
I think we do have to disentangle uncomfortable from straight awkwardness, though. If the department feels uncomfortable and it's not something you think time will solve, then trust your gut.
PS. @Naruto, if it's any consolation, I thought you were better at casual conversation than I was when we met at Western

Philosophers are probably the most socially awkward sub-group, so I'd say you're in good company .

I just wanna give a shout out again to Schopenhauerboy. I think he was the first or one of the first to make a decision.

Anyone planning to decline their offer/waitlist from UMass? Help assuage the desperation of a fellow applicant.
