  1. Hey! I forgot about this thread but I was accepted to Vandy too and have decided to attend there in the fall. Did you accept? If so, I'll see you there.
  2. I declined the University of Missouri, Columbia.
  3. Also, Carnegie is ranked higher on philosophical gourmet, but if you get a good funding package at Missouri that makes the choice way more difficult. If taking out some loans to go to Carnegie is no big deal for you, then go for it! But if you get a good offer at Missouri (where cost of living is very low, by the way) then I would say it might be a good idea to go there. Plus you can always transfer out later.
  4. Yeah I am visiting soon, so I will let you know. I have been in touch with one professor who does decision theory there (even though that's not my area) and he seems really cool.
  5. I don't know, but I'm probably going to Missouri as well. Are you visiting?
  6. 21...birthday next week! yee haw. Seeing that many of you are older than me gives me hope that maybe if I fail at this round of apps my life won't be completely over!
  7. Hm...I also did okay on the verbal (710) and terrible on the math (too ashamed haha)...I am also from an obscure school and am also applying to Vandy. I wish they would get back to us already!!!
  8. This is totally correct BUT if you've already got the BA in Poli Sci, then you've already taken research methods...so it might be more reasonable, job prospects wise, to stay on that track. Then again...political theory programs in Poli Sci are slowly dying out and moving to Philosophy. So, you'd be good staying with Poli Sci, but your theory education will not be nearly as good as if you had gone with philosophy.
  9. My professor gave me some advice about waiting for responses: "getting back to you is never as important to them as it is to you". Like, sometimes they even delay getting out acceptances, or shove files away and forget about them. Depressing, but try to relax if you can. Okay to be honest, I'm not relaxed at all!
  10. This is awesome. But these videos always depress me. Almost as depressing as the "I have brilliant thoughts about death and literature" one...
  11. This thread is a great idea! It would be easier, however, if more people put which schools they are applying to in their signature. I know some people are not comfortable with that, but this is a safe space! Haha
  12. aarg I am so jealous I am waiting to hear back from them. way to go! congrats to you! have they told you when grad visits are going to be yet?
  13. I would say apply for more....you can never be too careful. I'm applying to Queen's too, but as a PhD student. Good luck!
  14. I am waiting on them too! Since so many people have posted acceptances already, I figure I'm either waitlisted or rejected. I hope we find out soon!
  15. I feel the same way. Like getting rejected sucks, but I can always rationalize that I didn't really want to go there anyway. What is worse is....right now for example, having nothing to do but go on this forum and try to ease my anxiety by reading posts from other anxious applicants.
  16. Looking at acceptances can the therapeutic. Also, sometimes I like to make a list of everything I've applied for, including the rejects, and write the application status next to them. It's weird but I like it--it's a nice visual.
  17. That can happen?? You have got to be kidding me.
  18. Hey all, I ran a search to see if anyone had posted about this already, and I didn't find anything...but let me know if this topic already exists! I just wanted to give a shout out to the other finalists if you're out there. I've heard nothing from them since being named a finalist...so it'd be nice to know if they have contacted any of you!
  19. Heeey! I'm a Korea ETA finalist too! I hope we have a good chance of getting it because they take so many students.
