got my snail mail today in Calgary (after no emails from U of C ?) . Standard SSHRC fellowship with a score of 13/20 from committee 2 I believe.

Declined offers to Indiana HPS, BU, and Western. I'm going to Calgary and I'm very excited. It was an incredibly hard decision particularly since I'm turning down schools that are higher ranked than the one I'll attend.

I will PM you after I receive responses

Probably not. I'm just on my way back from Calgary and they basically seem to be my people, so I'll email some questions to BU students and decide after that.

In at Boston U. First I've heard from them lol. Maybe I was on a hidden waitlist?

In at Indiana HPS after my inteview this morning. Throws a huge (but happy) wrench in my decision plan.

Has anyone heard of WL or rejects from UCDavis yet? I know they sent out acceptances like a month ago, but they haven't responded back to email inquiries about other statuses. I just want confirmations of my rejections already.

Interview from Indiana HPS off the waitlist. Anyone know what these things consist of?

Philosophers are just awkward in general. I'm obviously including myself in that generalisation, and realise that I too am quite awkward. I've had some pretty awkward interactions, and frankly, I get tired of only talking about what kind of philosophy I'm interested in. I won't think too far into it though, I know I take a while to warm up to people, and I'm inflicted with resting bitch face so people take a while to warm up to me. I think we do have to disentangle uncomfortable from straight awkwardness, though. If the department feels uncomfortable and it's not something you think time will solve, then trust your gut. PS. @Naruto, if it's any consolation, I thought you were better at casual conversation than I was when we met at Western

Ahhhh! Congrats dude! So happy the decision making process is over for you, and NOLA is incredible!

Can a mod pin this post to the top of the sub? This is obviously more relevant and stands the test of time, but the current year specific pinned post doesn't really help anymore.

I'm now going to assume that all of my rejections were just because I was actually overqualified. You hear that, mom, I'm overqualified for Stanford.

Removed myself from UW Seattle and Minnesota waitlists.

Damn... Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know if Western Ontario has sent out waitlists yet?
