Can I guess? UPenn?

Woot! Do you know anyone else who's going? I hear it's like a 4 person cohort.

So any further decisions? Where is everyone tentatively going?

Anyone hear from U of T for their PhD programs yet?

Well, had I used the casual second person "tu" to address him, and he agreed, that would be quite the feat.... I actually spoke at length about my research and other colleagues of him i know and asked about doing a PhD with him.

Today, being in Paris, I thought, "Why not get coffee with Bruno Latour?" So I sent him an email, realized I had accidentally used the informal 2nd person with him, recalled it, corrected it and sent it again. Mildly terrified I would have single handedly destroyed my STS career before it even started!

Just accepted my offer at York formally. Stipend is ~$22.5k. @Logik Did you get an email? Any further funding information?

From what I know, rather than admitting people for an MA specifically U of T IHPST often accepts all applicants (MA or otherwise) as PhD candidates, so a strong research statement is still great!

Where did you go to school? Did you have good reference and research statement? Sometimes those things go a far way. Good luck

Don't they accept like 20 people? I'd say you're chances are good compared to most STS programs

Thought I saw some acceptances on the results board a few days ago. Good luck!

Boo ya

Does this mean basically, that nonelite institutions are more receptive to progressive research?

I'm really fond of how positive this forum is about rejection! I mean that sincerely. On the other hand, I'm realizing that York STS is nothing to scoff at either. It receives nearly 40-100 apps year for PhD and accepts 4. Take that Cornell!

Finally got rejected by Cornell. Such peace.
