[Is it possible to ask for an extension on the April 15th deadline?]

Long story short, I was accepted at SUNY Buffalo (though likely without funding for the first year) and waitlisted at Mizzou. If Mizzou were to admit me, I understand that it would likely be a funded position. I have my reservations about attending a program without funding given the current job market. But I also know that it's difficult to get into a PhD program, and I would hate to pass up this opportunity on off-chance that Mizzou might offer me an acceptance. Given my situation, is it possible to ask for an extension on the April 15th deadline?

Hey, I am also waitlisted at Mizzou. Are you sure that only after April 15th would they tell you the final result?

I took myself off the Missouri waitlist. Hope this helps someone somewhere.

Thanks for that! What's your AOI?

[Differences of doing a philosophy PhD in US, Canada and UK?]

Hi, everyone. I am an international (East Asian) applicant. I have difficulty with choosing PhD programs of philosophy in US, Canada and UK. The programs accessible to me have similar rankings, strengths and fitness with my areas. Therefore, I want to know more about the differences of doing a philosophy PhD in these three countries.

Maybe but I've heard about some issues with Canadian schools not being able to take int'l students these last couple of years. Not WO specifically, but it still worries me. 

Last season I was waitlisted by western ontarion because of 'the limited funding for international students'...

Do you have any notion of whether they've sent out any acceptances at this point? Sorry so many questions. I would relish the opportunity to work with Alan Love.

In that notification email, there is no information about  whether there are acceptances that have been sent out. But there is an official (formal) letter as an attachment, which says I have been waitlisted...Anyway, good luck wth you..
