Thanks for that. You’re an applicant this cycle?

Are you likely to accept? I’m on the waitlist!

Hi! Can I ask you what the funding package is like?

Honestly, they just need to release the decisions! It’s so late now.

I heard it from a friend who heard it from some FB group. Could very easily just be a rumor.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could verify the legitimacy of this claim!

Anxiously awaiting Harvard decisions!!!! Will it be today?

Congrats!!!!!! I hope you get in!

I’m wondering if there’s any list of when schools have their visit dates? International student here, so coordinating flights will be a big hassle for me. I’ve already received 2 acceptances thus far.

Thank you, to everyone, for the responses!

Yes, all of this is definitely reassuring. I guess there’s nothing to do now but wait!

I figured about the “not.”

Ahh, I see. Do you mind sharing which MA? If not, that’s fine.

That’s a really positive way to look at things! Thanks for that! I hope that’s what’s professors mean as well? I didn’t have GRE scores in hand when I asked them to write in letters, which is another reason I felt perplexed by their comments. Also, given my financial situation, I was able to secure fee waivers for most of the schools I applied to which is something I made my professors aware of.

I’m a non-traditional international student, applying to philosophy programs a year after my undergrad from a small LAC in the US. I’ve applied to 20 PHD prorgrams, mostly from PGR, and 2 MA programs. Two of my letter writers, however, think that I’ve applied to an unreasonable number of programs, “exceedingly high,” as they put it. My undergrad GPA isn’t very high but my major GPA is pretty good. I’m also confident I have good letters and that my writing sample is strong as well. My GRE scores are terrible though. Do you think I’m being unreasonable? or unrealistic with PhD admissions?

Thank you so much!!!! Done.

I’m applying to the Brandeis philosophy MA program in a few days and I’ve already received some rejections from a couple of PhD programs. Should I write my masters statement of purpose slightly differently? Any things to keep in mind? Advice from successful candidates is greatly appreciated.

Chapel Hill rejection is painful.

Is NU a top choice for you?

Northwestern was predicted to release their decisions yesterday, so I’m *really* hoping they come through today. Anxious!

This was the first rejection I received as well.

Rejected by Brown. Feeling absolutely gutted as it was one of my top chcoices.
