The list now has seven of the six Cornell acceptances. Perhaps Professor Brennan meant he was trying to form a class of six.

Very useful for some of us, thank you.

My name is indeed near the end of the alphabet.

Congratulations - looks like you're having a very strong cycle.

Four here. https://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=philosophy&t=t&o=d&p=1

A comment on the list says 6 of 230 Cornell applicants were selected. 4 of those 6 are represented on the list. That's pretty solid.

Yes, I am trying not to get too excited yet. Not being one of a few rejections is different from not being one of a few acceptances since the vast majority of applicants are rejected.

None of the rejections listed were via phone. You may have been admitted somewhere else! Or maybe it was just a friend or a telemarketer.

Going to go ahead and opine that this is freaking rude and entitled as hell on the part of the school and that he should by no means encourage it by reapplying.

Sorry to all about the Notre Dame rejections. They appear to have skipped me somehow, but I'm sure they will join all the other schools that dislike me soon enough.

Dear Prof, I applied but you still ain't callin' I left my cell, my statement, and my writing sample at the bottom I attached three letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em There probably was a problem with my AOI or somethin'

Disagree entirely. There are other paths in this life. If the discipline doesn't want you, who needs them? Smart people should not be spending yet another year trying to read the mercurial minds of aging admissions committees in the hopes of getting $25,000 stipends leading to job market insecurity.

Hardly distinguishes it from the rest of this awful, humiliating process.

How seriously should I take "implicit rejections"? E.g. (at the moment): Pitt, Toronto, USC, Rutgers, Virginia, Harvard. That's half of the schools I haven't heard back from.
