Scoots Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Congrats to those in/waitlisted at Rutgers! (the implicit rejections just keep on mounting...)

Zimmy64 Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Seeing two acceptances from the University of Arizona has me sweating. Hopefully I hear something soon. Edited February 22, 2018 by Zimmy64 PhiloStorian 1
Franzkafka Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 6 hours ago, Philodoxia said: My impression is that the Philosophy Department is strong in foundational epistemology and applied epistemology, early analytic philosophy (From Husserl to Wittgenstein), with specific strengths in (analytic) phenomenology (David Smith) and the epistemology of Moore and Wittgenstein (Coliva & Pritchard). But I am only confident in these assessments. It may display strengths in other areas, but I am not competent to judge that strength's intensity. Thanks! I share your impression. The department is pretty strong in epistemology and history of analytic philosophy but its size seems relatively small.
jelris Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 On 2/20/2018 at 3:09 PM, Neither Here Nor There said: Is Loyola University Chicago over? I got a weird email the other day saying that the committee is still making decisions, which did not make sense since I've seen them on the results page. So I'm not sure if there is more to come, or if that was just an automated message since there was nothing on my file. Also still nothing from Fordham. I just got waitlisted at Loyola Chicago today so it seems they are still sending things out.
LORDBACON Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 No word from LUC or Fordham here either. I seem to have jumped out ahead in the early runnings. 0 for 5 plus a wait. Step it up y'all.
MtnDuck Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I got accepted to University of Washington at Seattle and I'm one of the folks waitlisted at UC Davis (I'll be taking myself off that waitlist pretty soon with any luck). I also know two folks who got accepted to UVA yesterday. All were by email. p.s., for anyone that applied to Virginia Tech they were still reviewing files as of yesterday. We are also in the process of hiring (again) and last time we were hiring acceptances didn't get sent out until mid-March. With any luck things won't get delayed though! prettyhorse 1
Neither Here Nor There Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Who is the person who has gotten 9/10 acceptances and no waitlist or rejections. Holy Moly. What was your writing sample on?

Lostmyreason08 Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Has anyone heard back from Queen's University in Canada? Thanks!
MishaPanda Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I’m super curious about who got the LSE offer, and about why you are doubtful as to whether you’ll accept. I didn’t apply there myself, but it’s a top-notch programme. Congrats either way!

prettyhorse Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Anybody hear back from NIU about funding? Prof Clapp said they'd form their rankings this week.

It looks like you and I were both part of the first wave of offers--I also received my offer on the 7th--which probably bodes well for our chances of receiving funding. I applied for an assistantship, of course, as well as an Under-Represented Minority Tuition Waiver. But I wish you luck on your other programs! I'm still awaiting decisions from three others, myself... Zimmy64 and soproperlybasic 2

It's looking more and more like that's where I go if I get funding...with all these implicit rejections hanging in the air. syn 1

SlumberingTrout Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I was holding up well for the past 2 months, but I think I've hit my limit: Hearing nothing from any of the schools I've applied to has finally become intolerable. Congratulations to everyone who's been accepted so far; Godspeed to everyone still waiting! Stencil, Bookchin, soproperlybasic and 1 other 1 3

Congratulations to everyone who's been accepted so far; Godspeed to everyone still waiting! Don't worry, the end is near. Figure by the end of next week or so, most first passes of acceptances or rejections will be done, most waitlists will be solidified, and then it's again a waiting game til mid-April to see where people declined and positions open. Look at it as you have a variable birthday every day for the next month and a half. Sometimes you get good presents, other times you get bad ones. LOL
