I noticed that checking into the Facebook group and Gradcafe yesterday really activated a lot of anxiety for me which spilled over into today (knowing that someone got a phone call from one of my top schools). I realized that for me personally, only checking those sites about once a week is probably the most i can do without completely wrecking my nervous system over the next few weeks! Definitely take care of yourself everybody over the next month or so!

Admitted to DePaul for Fall 2021!!! So excited about this! 

Accepted to the University of Toronto PhD Philosophy via email ?

Yes, it seems extremely early. 

My guess is theyre probably done calling, although I dont think theyve emailed waitlisted folks yet. Perhaps someone can confirm this?

Someone else just commented and she got a phone call about an hour ago!

It was by phone call an hour ago. Hopefully they're still calling. If not, rip. 

Someone in the FB group got accepted to Berkeley today! So at least some acceptances have gone out on time. 

I hope you get into a great program. Just because you have met a pile of necessary conditions, I hope it is clear we make no pretense to claim to have found jointly-sufficient conditions for your acceptance. If you have 20 applications in at schools with about a 5% acceptance rate, you've got better odds than a coin-flip!
May the odds be ever in your favor

Don't worry about it. You will be fine with that GPA. Are you at UToronto? Canadian schools tend to have less grade inflation, so having your gpa isn't that big of a deal. 

Take all of this with a grain of salt. I'm sure that others will disagree.
Undergrad GPA is generally more important than MA GPA. MA grades are usually much higher than undergrad grades. That is, there are many people like you, with middling undergrad grades (as far as students looking at grad programs) and stellar MA grades. That being said, undergrad grades in philosophy are more important than undergrad grades overall, so you should be fine. Your philosophy GPA is very competitive.
The value of an MA for admissions is not in accumulating more grades. Rather, it's in the courses you took, your writing sample (assuming that you developed it from something you worked on during the MA), and letters of recommendation (since the MA presents opportunities to work closely with profs).

Many thanks for the response.  This all seems to make good sense.
