I've accepted Tufts! It's been fun, everyone.

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."
-
In at Brandeis, the last school I needed to hear from.

Congrats, will Brandeis play a role in your decision or have you made up your mind to go somewhere else? Seems like you’re having a strong cycle on MA apps.
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.

Just got into VT, with a TAship, which I'll be declining shortly. Just need to hear from Brandeis now.

Quick question: have Brandeis or Virginia Tech sent out acceptances yet?
I don't believe so; I haven't heard anything from them. It sure is getting late.

Are you wishing you had applied to Ph.D. programs at this point?
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.

Got into UW Milwaukee, with a TAship offer. Will most likely decline soon.
-
Got into Tufts!
-
Just declined Western Michigan.
-
Is it too early to start worrying about Tufts?

What did you do your sample on?
Philosophy of physics; more specifically, I argued that one cannot reliably draw metaphysical conclusions from quantum mechanics.

Are Tufts and Oxford still ahead if NIU for you? (Shamelessly trying to find out if I’ll get offered an assistantship at NIU)
Modulo funding, yes.

I got the same at WMU too. Unfortunately, WMU (accepted) and GSU (currently waitlisted) have been the only schools - for me at least - to respond with anything. I'm still waiting on UW-Milwaukee, VT, UMSL, U Houston, and Simon Fraser. I saw Houston and Fraser make an appearance, so I might just have a silent rejection with those two. Congrats on your winning streak though. Maybe you could use some of that as funding leverage with Oxford if it came down to it.
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!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your funding offer at WMU?
Full tuition waiver plus a stipend of $8300, plus the option of TAing during summers for about $3000.
-
I've declined GSU.

Did you get a good offer at Oxford? I regret not applying there, but I never actually looked at their funding either.
I haven't yet heard about funding, and I may not until as late as April 13th (I apologize in advance to anyone wanting my NIU assistantship).

Do you know if GSU gives that kind of assistantship to many people? I'm also on the waitlist but the prospective assistantship that I was informed of was pretty meager: 5k the first year and 10k the second.
Although I don't have one of the fellowships, I got offered 10k for both years, which I'll most likely be declining shortly.

Someone just reported a Tufts acceptance! Good luck everyone

Hey everyone. I'm finishing up my second/final year at Tufts, currently applying to PhDs. If anyone has any questions about the program, feel free to shoot me a DM.
