Plslol

For those accepted to chicagos MAPH, did you recieve an email from Hilary Strang basically regarding your interests/curiosity? Trying to figure out whether or not this email is actually personalized since it doesnt reference my sample lol

When it comes time to apply again for those of us shut out of phd programs, is it recommended against to use the same, but edited, writing sample?

I go to a pretty pretty pretty shit state school rn lol so itd be nice to just go to a much more rigorous school, whether i end up getting into a phd program after, or law school, or just entering the job market. Only will do it if i get a scholarship, and a large enough scholarship to make the price the same as another year at my current school (which is pretty cheap). Ive also got the time, being 20, and honestly, the resources to support another year of school so *shrug* maybe its a mistake caused by my disappointment but i also got the time to calm down. Sorry if im hostile

Idk i saw a lot of people not get referred and their website specifically says that only the top fifth of their applicants get referred. If im in the top fifth of the university of chicago's applicants im going to take that as encouraging. So sorry

Still encouraging i feel

Im extremely skeptical about this. My gre was 163V/158Q/4.5AW and Uchicago referred me to their maph. That means i was in a close to final cut, and gre based cuts would be earlier in the cutting process no? Also, having talked to grad applicant committees, they say that the sample, letters, and personal statement are by far the most important parts of an application, in that order. The idea that gres are making or breaking people feels off to me when these committees are neary solely interested in our philosophical abilities aka our sample.

Strange how weve only seen 1 acceptance and 1 waitlist. Maybe im grasping at straw tho lol And yes, congrats to everyone! also, as maybe another straw, i emailed lydia goehr months ago about somethin and she replied at 3am, nyc time. Take that for whatever it may be

Im holding out hope for us

Do schools typically send them all out at the same time? Im hoping someone is currently writing my acceptance LOL

RIP my columbia chances

No i wanna throw up. Checking my email constantly. In a place where i got no phone service either. God im so anxious

I applied to three schools, chicago, yale and columbia. Chicago referred me, yale has not sent me an acceptance so i think i may safely assume rejection. Lord am I nervous. Columbias definitely the best fit for me and my top choice so heres hoping.
