  1. Hey All! Anyone who received an acceptance from Duquesne and is thinking of declining the offer please do that as soon as you can ?❤️ I got waitlisted and it's my top choice... I would really really appreciate it! Good luck everyone! May we all find a programme to welcome us!
  2. Hi Naomi! I did not make it this year! But will work on my project and try again next year. Hope your applications goes through xx Good luck!
  3. I guess then it's going to be a very long wait. Let's hope for the best, but let's also work on a back up plan ?
  4. This is great news!! Good luck ❤️ Unfortunately it did not go through for me. But it's okay... I will defer and re-apply next year maybe.
  5. I am panicking! I hope we will receive good news today ?
  6. Was just thinking about it! Two weeks will pass by rather quickly (hopefully!)
  7. Yes! I think it's just Durham tho... they wait is killing me!
  8. That's great to hear!! Well let's hope we both get it. It'd be nice to meet someone off GradCafe . I will make sure to share once I receive any kind of news.
  9. Let's hope we get good news soon! Where did you applied, if I may ask? I applied to Durham (top choice <3)
  10. Hello! They sent an email today saying that decisions will be announced starting from the 15th of April. They also mentioned that the notification will come from the home institution and not the NBCS. Good luck !
  11. Hey! I figured after the post! Thanks a lot and good luck to you too
  12. Thanks a lot for this ❤️ He has not been responding since May (2020)! But I am trying to develop back up plans because it's really time to graduate and leave! Yes! The programme that accepted me is in the UK + it's a conditional offer (i need to get the MA to get fully in!) so I am doing everything I can to ensure I graduate on time! And as you said, if I get in in one of the US schools I will definitely get out of the programme or take a leave of absence! I wouldn't want to burn bridges, because in the event I don't get a job (in or out of academia) abroad, I will have to return and the department has some nice teaching spots. I just hope everything works out fine! Thank you again for your support! x
  13. Thank you so much for this by the way! Your experience is very inspiring, but it is also very real because my writing has been dramatically affected by the jobs i worked during my masters. To be completely frank, I do not think I will be able to sustain this rhythm for the duration of the PhD as well. I hope things are better for you now! Thank you again for sharing your experience! it is not as depressing knowing that am not alone in this.
  14. I really did not mean to be insensitive/ show off. Is just that, even if I get funding for the programme I got accepted at or get in at a funded programme, my fate is in the hands of a supervisor who does not bother answering and reading emails and drafts. Feeling powerless sucks and just wanted to vent it out.
  15. I am really anxious and frustrated at this point. I applied to 6 schools in total (would have applied to 8 but Duquesne and Chicago decided not to take in any more students) and I did so based on my financial means and actual interest in the people/ dept research. I got rejected from 3 programmes right away - which was cool (none were really top choices for me). I was interviewed at one of my top choice programme and got waitlisted. And I know that no one will ever decline an offer from that school, so basically I can forget about getting in! My other top choice did not make a decision about my application yet... people have been notified of acceptances, rejections, and waitlist offers... and am still here. If you are going to reject the application, just do it! On the positive side, I got in at my favourite programme, but there are 2 problems here: 1. Funding is hell! Since it is not an American/Australian school, then you have to get your own funding (working with your possible supervisor) 2. My current MA thesis supervisor has not been replying to me since last year, and I am so afraid he won't let me graduate... and I can't take it anymore to be honest. I have been in the programme for 3 years (part-time), have worked 3 jobs, and took a student loan to pay for it. I gave it my all because Philosophy is the one thing that kept me alive... but I really wanna leave... I just feel really demotivated and stuck!☹️
  16. Hello Everyone! For the people who applied for PhD funding to the Northern Bridge Consortium, any news?
  17. Hello! Can you share the link to the thread? Thanks
  18. On Twitter there is a lot of these threads. One of them, last semester, decided to wait until the very end to make a decision just because they could...I just hope these very lucky people make a choice soon enough for the ones on waitlists.
  19. I got rejected from Exeter, Penn State, and Emory - I think I will soon receive a rejection from DePaul as well...
  20. Guess I will have to prepare myself mentally for the rejection ? Thank you again!
  21. Oh.. the problem is that for some reason my application was only received on the 2nd of February. What about the rejections though? Thank you for answering!
  22. Hello Everyone! I received decisions from all the schools I applied to (1a/1w/3r), but nothing from DePaul yet. Anyone received anything from them? My anxiety is killing me ?
