Ok so still hope! Congrats by the way! I imagine it's a relief haha

Did Notre Dame come out today? Didn't get an email and my decision status is still pending, per my application

That's fair. (I'm not sure I would, either - but it is a school to keep in mind moving forward.) Thanks for the info, though!

I just looked. Theory is (naturally) their smallest subfield. I recognize most of the names, though I dunno - my profs advised me to go off the US News Report rankings. If I end up going to an MA program, I will look at Brown again. I only applied to a handful of PhDs (unfortunately, in retrospect)

Just guessing here, but I assume they account for the small cohort size and are fine with some super-small classes? (No idea, though; I would ask the school in question)

Oh, that's really cool! I guess that isn't so much my wheel house, which is probably why I had overlooked it. Anyway, congrats!

Does Brown have a strong theory program? I was thinking of applying, but it looked to only have a couple theorists. (I'm also applying to a host of MA programs, though, so I wasn't prioritizing PhDs as much as I should have in retrospect. This is more a question for if I apply from an MA in two years :P)

ok thanks!

Ok. Even if I'm applying for MAPSS? But seriously: would I just contact the department directly?

Especially if there's a possibility of wait list - that's definitely an email you don't want to miss XD

Oh, really? So if I've heard nothing as of now, I should assume rejection or wait list?

Wait! you can apply to social thought? Damn, I'm dumb... I thought it was a sub-program of the PhD programs...

No idea? I'm just going by the what the website says. But if Berkeley decisions from depts. started trickling... Edit: I could be wrong, though. Some users seem to have already gotten admits. So eh

Yeah, but I'm also theory, so subfield specific don't matter I was more wondering because Chicago's website says decisions are 1st 2 weeks of March with some in Feb., but if they're trickling I'm now gonna ctrl+r m email so much... Any news re Berkeley or Notre Dame?

Are Chicago decisions trickling? I've heard nothing yet

Berkeley's website states the dept. will contact mid-Feb., but official decisions are March 1

I was wait listed at Duke. Didn't apply to Northwestern. So if you didn't hear anything back from Duke, I don't know what to make of it
