@dgswaim I'm currently at OU getting my MA—if you happen to get in, or want to know anything about the department, feel free to message me!

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.
Thanks, and congratulations! Here's to hoping.

Anyone want to claim the second UT Austin acceptance? I'm wondering whether other accepts beyond the fellowship one have gone out—or whether there might be a delay, as there was with Brown.

All,
I'm hoping to put together a last-minute thread to open up some discussion of ancient philosophy—it looks like there are a few of us around the forum, but I think it might be helpful and/or interesting to consolidate.
Personally, I'd love to hear from others who have an ancient/classical AOS/AOI: where you applied or have gotten in, whether you applied to any "classical philosophy phd" or "ancient phd" programs, what your language experience is, what your writing sample is on, et cetera. From what I understand, admissions procedures can be a bit different for these sorts of programs (not unlike HPS, I believe): For example, I know at Yale my application was read by the classics department as well...all quiet on the New Haven front, unfortunately.
I'll start: I'm interested primarily in early Plato/Socratic philosophy. Of particular interest: connections between Socratic method and moral psychology, conceptions of belief, intellectualism, and so on. Also increasingly captivated by various bits of Aristotle's hylomorphism. Admitted to WashU and Notre Dame thus far (rejected from 4 other programs, with a handful of presumed rejections as well).
Others?

@brekekexkoax—That's right.

Awesome. I don't have a facebook so it would be great if someone could keep me updated on that if there is anything interesting.
I can verify, WashU accept is mine

I agree with you @philosophe. I'll call a few places over the next few days and post the results.
We should start compiling a list of places to call. Please add as you see fit. I'm including dates for when it seems appropriate to call, but feel free to suggest revisions.(1) Berkeley (2/15)
(2) Indiana (2/15)
(3) USC (2/16) -- I'll give them another day; maybe they'll release acceptances tomorrow. I really have no idea what they're doing.
(4) Brown (2/16) -- Like someone pointed out, the person who posted an acceptance got a fellowship. Usually campus-wide fellowships come out earlier than general admissions.
(5) Princeton (2/17)
(6) Yale (2/17)Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) seems like an important one missing from the list—although I might be basing that on selfish reasons. Their predicted date was 2/5, and it appears they've let one person in on a particular fellowship, but otherwise all is silent.

Arizona WL!
I'll take it.
Congrats! Was it a personal email, or automated? Praying for one of my own here....

currentphilgrad,
Did WUSTL mention a fellowship besides the two listed on the site, or are you specifically eligible for one (i.e., female, PNP, whatever)? Just trying to hang onto hope for my own admission here...

@AnotherKantFan—Just curious: did you receive an official email from someone in the department/graduate school about the waitlist, or solicit one? I know there was some question about whether they do waitlists, and I noticed there is only one posting of one. Just waiting on @doxazein918 to turn them down in hopes I might get a surprise acceptance ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (just kidding)
