  1. Hi everyone, After a steady stream of rejections, my one ray of hope (relatively) is that I just got notified that the admissions committee at one of the schools wants to interview me as they enter their final round of 'deliberations'. They mentioned wanting to talk about my work and interest in their program. I know why I like their program of course, and why I would want to attend. Does anyone have any tips for things I should or shouldn't do/mention/talk about? What are some questions they might ask (if there is a general set of questions typically asked) or things I should be ready to answer/address? And ultimately, I guess I'm wondering what they intend to gauge from these interviews apart from what is already apparent from my application? Any help is appreciated!
  2. I've applied to a bunch of schools this cycle for a Ph.D and am waiting to hear back from most of them. I know there really aren't 'safety schools' for philosophy, but does anyone have an idea of schools that generally take more number of students than others? I think I saw on another thread that DePaul takes maybe 4 a year, and I believe Oregon does too. Anyone have any idea about others? Some that I've applied to are Villanova, Boston College, SUNY Stony Brook, UWashington, Georgetown, UNC Chapel Hill.... Thanks!
  3. 0a/2w/3r/12 pending: Getting frustrated and just want to know the decisions. I don't even care what they are at this point. Hopefully an accept coming, but got to be realistic too, so not getting my hopes up. I wish I could know where on the waitlists I stand, could give me some sense of relief.
  4. I suspect I will be rejected from UCLA too considering that they seem to have sent acceptances out. Not surprising, thought it was a bit of a reach even when I applied.
  5. Rejected from Boulder. Not a top choice for me but still sucks.
  6. Same. It was my top choice too. Hits hard.
