Why are you showing me a map of the US? I don't get it... 

thanks so much!

I replied to my wait list notification at Saint Louis, and in the reply email it was mentioned that they've "admitted 5" as of now. Whether those 5 have been notified as of yet I don't know. It seems, though, that all decisions have been made.

The Marriage of Figaro. I'm not generally a fan of Mozart's work, but the libretto was just hilarious. A really enjoyable show!

Me perusing the admission results page every five minutes in hopes of an update on, well, anything from, well, anywhere.

I think this requires one of those dancing psychopaths but I'm not entirely sure how to put that gif in a post

I AM ALSO ONE OF THE NOTRE DAME ADMITS!!!! I have been a lil bundle of suffering and anxiety these past few weeks so I cannot even express how relieved/elated I am!!!! This is my first acceptance after 6 rejections, so I really needed this. Best of luck to the rest of you!! Also I am currently getting my undergrad from Notre Dame so if anyone wants to ask me questions about the department, feel free!! There's lots of cool cats here.

ACCEPTED TO NOTRE DAME

Accepted to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, but wait-listed for funding (so….wait-listed?). 

Gonna claim DePaul and Duquesne. It's gonna be a big week, everyone, so good luck!

@MVSCZAR I didn't realize you were doing ancient phil, could you send me a copy of that paper on the Noble Lie? I would love to read it!

Congrats, dude! You deserve it! 

Just got a nice acceptance email from UT Knoxville! I'm on a waitlist for funding, so if anyone has better offers and also got accepted please let them know. I won't be able to go without funding. I am so happy that I finally have an option though! PhD here I come.

There's nothing there at the moment for my application... so good news? I guess... the anticipation is murdering me

My status update is at the top of the page a line after my application reference number, right before the Verify Address line. 

Congratulation to all those who have already received offers and put on waitlists!

I'm a current PhD student at the University of Oregon; I stop by every once out of curiosity (now that I'm not madly refreshing the results page, preserving a thick cloud of anxiety and stress out of  what must have been deep-seated masochistic tendencies).

Anyway, I wanted to highhhhly recommend reaching out and contacting current students at your prospective schools, even if you aren't slated for a campus visit. It's been said (but bears repeating) that you're not only deciding the next several years of your professional and intellectual life, but your social and personal life as well. Getting a sense for how graduate students get along, whether or not there's a sense of community of camaraderie among them, whether they're generally enjoying their lives [at that school, in that city, in that part of the world, in that climate, in that dating pool, etc]. 

Of course, if you've been accepted to Oregon, are on the waitlist, or are just interested in our program, I'd be happy to chat! I'm a little biased (obviously), but I can promise to be as honest and informative as possible. Consider me a very, very early welcome wagon (as I have been for a few years now). 

Yes, happy Valentine's day everyone!

do you think chanting "Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown" under my breath for the next 4 hours will do any good? 

Categorically different? Surely they're both instances of ποῖον, no?

Just admitted into CU Boulder with full funding and nominated for fellowship! Such a relief to know I'll be studying philosophy in the coming years no matter what happens during the rest of this cycle... Needed this!

Thanks, it was good news. Then, thinking things were over for the day, and I had a Penn e-mail. What a whirlwind.

Good luck to you all my fellow philosophers

My phone has been off all day but I just got out of a midterm and saw an e-mail from....UCSD...waiting for their phone call = stomach in knots.
