I've been thinking the same thing. Have you contacted them?

Purdue or Purdon't?

If you're in the same boat as me without an acceptance, here's a special haiku just for you: Checking my email A blank stare through weary eyes Please bring good tidings

Accio wand.

Has anyone heard any news coming out of Purdue? Ian predicted decisions last Friday and I'm anxious to hear any news from them.

0a/1w/5r out of 9. The night is dark and full of terrors.

Thanks for your response. That seems like a reasonable approach and I'll give it a shot.

I hope the prediction about Purdue offers going out today is accurate. I've been waiting for them for a while.

I've been back and forth about how I should reply back to a department that wait listed me. Is there anything else you can share about what your advisor said (and any rationale)? Hopefully this will help me make up my mind about what to do.

Thanks for updating us, I didn't know they were sending out offers already! Can you give any more details, e.g., was it a personalized email, phone call, etc.?

Would you mind saying the first letter of your last name? Mine is fairly early too and I'm trying to see if it might be a good sign for me.

Does anyone have info on the other Midwest schools? I'm particularly interested in anything concerning Indiana, Purdue, or Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I tried a chocolate scented beard comb for Marc Lange at UNC. All I have to show for it is a rejection letter. Logic tells me that either i) bearded men don't enjoy scented gifts, or ii) both our gifts were lost in the mail; and since i) is patently false, I can only reasonably infer USPS is to blame. Next time I'll pay the extra 70 cents for tracking.

Good luck to you as well! I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Ianfaircloud predicted Feb 21st. Looking at the previously reported data on TGC, I think that's right on the money.

Give that rejections have been sent out to at least some Indiana applicants, would it be too bold to infer a position on the wait list?

Great list, Hopephilly. Thanks! I was perusing the general forum and saw someone (ianfaircloud) posted an additional list detailing admission dates over a number of philosophy programs: Both are very helpful, and my hat's off to both of you.

Thanks, Maxhgns!

After finishing my M.A. in philosophy (4.0 GPA at a Leiter top terminal M.A. program), I'm becoming increasingly interested in the Ph.D. program at the University of Hawaii. However, I can't find any solid information about whether or not they fund their Ph.D. students. Does anyone have any solid information (or experience) about the funding for philosophy Ph.D. students? Thanks!

Thank you for the great responses! I made my decision, and I'm looking forward to starting at Cal State L.A. this month! CLANE and child's pose, I'll see you all there.

Hey everyone, I've been accepted to two master's programs, one at San Francisco State and one at Cal State, Los Angeles. Ideally, I would love to get my master's at one of these institutions and then move to a Ph.D. program in California. I have fairly broad non specific philosophical interests ranging from political philosophy, to applied ethics, to metaphysics. Basically, my question is: Which one of these schools is generally better received when applying to Ph.D. programs on the west coast? Thank you all for your help!!
