artshop Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I've seen that at least two people report that they were either rejecting an offer from UW or taking themselves off the waitlist. Has anyone on the waitlist been notified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their program is going downhill quickly these days anyway (DDore is functionally retired), though still probably one of the best places for those with interest in medieval and/or herbology Dysexlia and SlumberingTrout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would release more information about their waitlist; I've asked about more info, but they don't give any specific details as a matter of policy. coffeepls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've emailed to ask if there is a ranking and I haven't gotten a response. I got waitlisted a day earlier than the others who reported. I know I'm grasping at straws but I wonder if that's significant. It could mean that it was a no brainer that I wasn't going to be accepted off the bat.

My guess is that the waitlist is quasi-ranked according to AOI. But I really don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirPyros Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I contacted Jessica Moss at NYU. That makes it 9/9 rejections for me this cycle. Congratulations to everyone who got accepted. Time to regroup and try to become better philosopher and candidate for next year.

Also, I noticed Simon Fraser on your list as well, are you just coming out of undergraduate school? Thanks! Yes, I applied straight from undergrad.

I completely understand - I just want this torment to end! I contacted Martin Lin at Rutgers today, though, and solicited a rejection. Perhaps you could try too - he was pretty friendly, if understandably curt. I also contacted Prinz at CUNY, and Paul at UNC Chapel Hill today, but haven't heard anything yet. Will let you know if I hear anything from CUNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stencil Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I received an email earlier today notifying me that I'm on a short waitlist at UBC, I'm pretty happy about that. Needle in the Hay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORDBACON Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Solicited UCSD and UCR to no avail a day and a half ago. Looks like we're headin' down into a good old-fashioned standoff, folks! quineonthevine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've solicited UCSB, UT at Austin (I know they sent out notifications, but I got nothing during that wave), and UConn. None of them have responded yet.

Stencil Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) It's currently the middle of the night, but I just received an email from UMass Amherst telling me that a decision letter had been posted! It was generic, so I assume that a bunch were all sent out just now. Edited March 8, 2018 by Stencil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehegeldialectic Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Solicited Villanova and University of Memphis. Also haven't heard from USI Carbondale, but I don't think they've sent out any offers yet anyways. Either way, the season is nearing a close, and 4a/3w/4r out of 14 isn't bad.

Pythian Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Rejected at U Mass Amherst and waitlisted at Ohio State this week. I think I may have been on a hidden waitlist at Ohio State, since I believe the waitlist decisions went out a long time ago. I still haven't heard by from 7 programs. I would solicit decisions, but does anyone ever get good news from that? I think I am going to wait and see if I get moved onto any official waitlists in April.

I did see that someone solicited an acceptance from Rutgers, and I think that someone else posted on another thread a solicited acceptance. UConn has been solicited by so many of us, I wonder why they haven't responded at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
