Metanoia

Not yet. I'm guessing that the dates will be stated in the formal email.

Speculations: Maybe the professors working in his AOIs are at full capacity and not currently taking students, but hope to do so next year; or perhaps, it was an extremely close call this time.

Congratulations! Harvard seems to be my current top pick too. What’s your AOI?

Thanks, that’s good to know. Hopefully, Princeton should declare results soon too.

Anxiously waiting for Columbia...

Yes, it was a call from Rusty Jones (who is the DGA this year). I was told that I've been accepted to the PhD program and that a formal letter will follow soon.

Accepted to Harvard via phone.

Congratulations!

That would be very irritating, if true. Just can't see why a school needs to sit on the applications for 4 months (or even 3, if they release in early March) before making a decision. Early April will be especially inconvenient, since people would want to visit and make final decisions - all within a fortnight.

Stanford generally releases quite late. I don't think we'll be hearing from them before the first week of March.

It is standard for departments to cover the air fare for local students. But it’s not uncommon for them to cover the fare for International students too (though it’s not standard). For instance, I know someone at WashU who was invited to visit from New Zealand a few years ago. In any case, good for you! Nothing like a free international ticket haha.

Thanks - and congratulations!

Yeah, can't say. I haven't come across any Yale admit so far who's interested in ancient philosophy. I would, however, be surprised if they didn't admit anyone. Ancient philosophy is, after all, among their flagship areas of strength and they have a lot of students working in that area at any given point of time.

Ah, that sucks. I would've loved to work with David Charles there.

Does anyone want to claim the Yale waitlist(s)? In particular, did you get an email to check the website or did the DGA contact you?

You'll be flying a long way! And yes, I will be visiting in mid-March. See you there!

Accepted to Pittsburgh! Got a call from Erica Shumener.

Congratulations! What’s your AOI?

No it's not. Although we should be hearing back from Yale soon if they're following anything like last year's timeline.

Congratulations! That’s awesome!

Congratulations!

Fwiw, two CMU acceptances have been claimed on the applicants group on facebook, one via phone and the other via email (so it's genuine).

I’m a current student at Tufts, and would be happy to answer more questions over PM.

Accepted to UChicago! Received an email from James Conant, and will be speaking with my POI on Skype soon.

Does anyone want to claim the Chicago acceptance? It seems to have come in earlier than I'd expected.
