I did take a look at my application and there was a notification telling me that they didn't have my test scores, which is weird because they explicitly stated they don't want gres(?). My application page also says this, so I've been chalking it up to a standard notification from the graduate admissions because most other departments do require test scores.

cicxy Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Accepted to TAMU, USC(south Carolina), a master program of penn. Received an email from sb. in USC(south California) saying that I'm accepted. But never received an official offer. Rejected from penn state and ucla. No words from UWM, NYU and UMASS.

Apparently it looks really bad in academia (esp. philosophy) to get your phd from the same school you did your undergrad in and it can hurt your chances significantly in the job market. I think it might also make the school look bad? I totally get where you're coming from though - I really like the school I'm at now, so I wanted to apply here, but my professors said they wouldn't accept someone who did their undergrad here. That makes sense! Thanks for the reply!

This is sad to hear. Does anyone think there might be an exception for someone who did something other than philosophy for undergrad, got a MA in philosophy somewhere else, and wanted to apply to their undergrad institution for their PhD?

There might be? I think the big worry is sort of like that it's intellectually incestuous or something. Presumably if someone did their undergrad in like, physics or something, then got an MA somewhere else, that worry probably wouldn't be founded. 2 hours ago, philoguy said: Clinging right now, haven't heard anything.

And I have the same thing! I thought it was weird, too.
JeshZhavvorsa Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I accidentally deleted an email from GSU that I seem to remember saying something about having decisions by March 1 if we applied by the Feb 1 deadline. Can anybody confirm this?

Yep, it shouldn't affect your application. My page says that too but they told me I'm waitlisted.
Schwarzwald Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Jesus Christ, you lolly gaggers! Get into Harvard and Princeton already! Some of us are trying to make our decisions in a timely fashion. What are you even doing? Sitting around refreshing your email?! How the hell is that going to speed up the process? Just hurry up and get in already! kretschmar 1

It's nice to benefit from others' impatience rather than caving to my own (or just sit here refreshing my email ad nauseum).
