Happy to say I was accepted at my top choice today, and I accepted their offer.
Overall: 1a/1w/8r
This was my first time applying out, and I am blessed that I struck a home run on my first swing. Super stoked that I don't have to take that POS GRE again.
-
This is my first time having applied out so I am trying to understand the system. So after April 15, will there be no offers extended to those on the waitlist should they not hear back (or in time) from the initial offers? How exactly does the deadline work with he waitlists? I ask because I am waitlisted at my top two choices, and I have yet to hear anything from them.
-
I, too, just found out I have been waitlisted at UVA.
-
I'm in, too: If anyone is planning to decline UConn, please PM me. I'd appreciate it!
-
Waitlisted at Uconn with 25% chance of admission. I had to solicit. This is my top pick, so fingers crossed here.

(Secret insider knowledge I heard though the faculty: I'm on the UConn waitlist.)
UConn didn't bother to tell me (and still hasn't), though--I had to learn secondhand.Did you solicit them?
-
Has anyone heard any news from UConn at all? I'm still waiting on them, and they're my top pick. I'm getting a little anxious as we are nearly a month away from the April 15th deadline, and I've heard nothing from them at all (even the doc notes this).

Would love to be forced into the decision and I think I would be very happy at either. Fordham's job placement is good, New York is a plus for me, and @Rose-Colored Beetle @soproperlybasic have spoken glowingly so its reassuring to know that current students are happy there. The only big reason I'd still say Purdue edges out is that I want to study Deleuze and the DGS, Dan Smith, is one of the best Deleuze academics in the English speaking world. I'm traveling east from California next month, so I'm going to try to visit both.
Dude, your GRE scores and everything looks fantastic. How in the hell did you not get into any of the other schools?!
-
I wasn't sure where to ask this, but I was on the GSU page looking at their placement, and under the 2019 tab, third from the top, it says someone got into "Duke and Connecticut." Has Uconn started releasing acceptances, then? Any other confirmation on this? Here's the link: https://philosophy.gsu.edu/graduate/placement-record/

Today, I declined Florida State and removed myself from the waitlists at UC Davis (where I was third on the waitlist); SLU (unranked); and Syracuse (where I was approximately 13th on a waitlist of 20). It was really hard to do this because these are all good programs, but it just wouldn't be fair to the other applicants.
How did SLU let you know you were waitlisted? I haven't heard anything from them..

I'm right there with you. I can't concentrate, my performance is lacking lately, and I'm starting to get physical symptoms of anxiety. Now, I should preface and say I already have anxiety and depression as-is (both under treatment; I'm functioning fine), but this is making it so much worse. I have this muscle twitch that won't go away, it's great.
Basically, what you're experiencing is perfectly normal under the circumstances, but there is never anything wrong with seeking professional help, especially if it would help you weather the storm. Go for it!
Pretty much me, too. I have both an anxiety disorder as well as Persistent Depression Disorder, and I've been in an depressive episode since January (only gotten worse the last few weeks). Headaches. Lack of sleep. Constant going to the bathroom. Stomach bloating. Trouble breathing, etc. I've just been getting through it lol. It's been hard to get serious work done, although I have been doing some reading and playing my drum kit.

I don't want to make light of a rejection here, but this is hilariously bad by UMass.
Haha, I laughed at it, too. I basically told my computer screen, "Well, fuck you, too, then."

Rejected at UMass- Amherst.
Same. Their rejection was kinda asshole-y, imo. *shrugs*

So, anybody got an email from UMass- Amherst saying that there has been a change in status and check portal? But, when you go check there is still says status "pending update"...
I'm asking this in this section because I have a strong feeling that it's a rejection and thinking maybe others have received their rejection this way?
Yeah, mine says, "As of 03/03/2019 the status of your application is Update Pending."
I'm definitely assuming it's a rejection.

Rejected from Georgetown. Got an e-mail from one of the professors there.

Got my official rejection from Northwestern this morning. I wasn't surprised given I hadn't heard anything.

Got my first rejection from WUSTL today. It was my top school cause of the Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology program. Sad day! ?
I know how you feel ?

Got my first official rejection. WashU said nay. I don't know how to feel. It'll probably hit me later. ?

Northwestern rejection today - expected after no word when acceptances and waitlists went out, but still sad hahaha
I'm sorry
I'll be joining you there soon. We can share a beer.

I saw on the google doc that UConn rejections for the first round went out. Can anyone else confirm (sorry to throw people under the bus; feel free to not confirm if you're not comfortable). It's my top pick, and so far I haven't heard anything.

Rejected by Northwestern and tbh I don't really care.
That's the spirit!

yep, same! Probably better to assume a silent rejection than wait on an acceptance but idk
? This is my first time through this process and my anxiety disorder is going off the charts rn.
-
Damn. I haven't heard anything from Northwestern ? Is it plausible to assume that it's a rejection?
