I didn't apply to any safety schools really (only PGR top 25), mainly because how risky it is to do a PhD in philosophy anyway in terms of finding an academic job afterwards. My letter writers also discouraged me pretty strongly from applying to safety schools. I think that this approach has made the application season more anxiety-inducing for me (trying to have very low expectations), but I also feel like it made sense to spend my money on applying to more highly ranked schools given how unpredictable the process is

Thanks so much!

I really wonder what Brown is up to. What is taking them so long to release acceptances??

Rejected from UNC

same, seems unusually early for them

Congrats!!

I'm weirdly excited abt the fact that it's Monday! I'm expecting to hear from a few places this week--3 if I'm lucky. What about you all?

I really appreciate the PGR and have found it immensely useful but Leiter himself is a massive bully. He seems to enjoy harassing grad students and junior scholars both on Twitter and on his blog... regardless of the substantive disagreements someone with his amount of power really should refrain from behaving like that

True--deleting it now

I wasn' referring to this though: someone added a note under "University of Chicago" (first page of the spreadsheet I think?) saying that interview requests were out. For some reason I can't see it now that I'm on my iPad but on my computer it appeared as added by a [].

Sure! I'm happy to answer questions

Best of luck! I haven't heard anything so guess I can count myself out since they don't do a waitlist. 15 schools to go though...

Congrats! When are interviews being held?

someone on the predictions spreadsheet just reported that Chicago interview requests are out ?

Solidarity!!

Slightly freaking out about that surprise wave of rejections from Brown--I still haven't heard from them and last year they sent out all rejections on the same day and acceptances/waitlists the following day. Trying really hard not to get my hopes up... Anyone else who still hasn't heard from Brown?

Chicago started doing interviews last year
