Unless I somehow miraculously get funding for Oxford between today and tomorrow, I'll be accepting my offer from Tufts. -
PHILOSOPHY M.A. ACCEPTANCE/REJECTION 2018
downwardabsolute replied to buffystrong's topic in Philosophy
It's seeming increasingly unlikely that I've gotten funding from Oxford, so I'll probably choose Tufts for that reason.- 222 replies

I've declined my offer of admission + assistantship from NIU.

Has anyone heard anything about BPhil funding yet?
-
Strange, my email said that if I don't hear anything by the 13th then I should assume I didn't get funding. Anyway, I haven't heard anything about funding thus far. The Clarendon's website says they give out the majority of offers in "early April."

downwardabsolute replied to buffystrong's topic in Philosophy
I don't know where I'm going yet but I'm pretty sure I'm just choosing between NIU, Tufts, and the BPhil, so Brandeis will most likely not play a role.- 222 replies

A little bit, but honestly I wouldn't want to go to a PhD program yet if I could, I don't feel anywhere near prepared (I'll be graduating with math/physics, not philosophy).

Declined the offer from UW-Milwaukee,who offered me an assistantship.

Thanks! & yeah hopefully I can, NIU gave me a good offer and I don't think it's worth it to go too much into debt for a masters. Good luck to you!- 222 replies
