kurumetarou Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) It's so strange that there are no reports of rejection from Toronto and Pitt yet. Edited February 28, 2018 by kurumetarou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I am sure it was January 2nd. In any case, this might be the reason why they're taking long. Though I hardly understand it. Moreover, it seems like there are just a lot of applicants this year to programs. Or so I've been told from many programs similarly ranked to UCSD. Here's hoping they come by the end of this week. I am expecting the same for UM-Amherst. Worth mentioning is that UCSD departs from the tradition of having an explicit waitlist. They'll probably offer admission to more than usual in the belief that some might not come, even though they'd really want them to.

"It is also worth pointing out that UC San Diego Philosophy does not operate with a waitlist (as do some other programs); this makes our acceptance rate appear slightly higher than programs that do." From the horse's mouth. So now I'm not confident in my belief. Or maybe they just need to update their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameismyname Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Rejections from Duke are out. I would have turned down the offer if they had made one. I would expect most decisions to have been released by this time next week. So. Ready. Needle in the Hay and SlumberingTrout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifgrethor Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Accepted to UC San Diego! Phone call from Eric Watkins. No special scholarship or anything, so admissions decisions should be going out for others pretty soon.

eigenname Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) OMG I was staring at the wrong place: I was hoping to talk to you on the phone, but since you might not be in the US, I wasn’t sure when would be the best time to call. So let me start by attaching the following letter, which I hope you find to be of interest. Once you’ve read the letter, let me say: CONGRATULATIONS! If you’d like to to talk about our offer — terms can be confusing, but this is our typical package — I’d be happy to do so. Just let me know when would be good and what number I should try to reach you at. I look forward to talking to you soon.

zjhall Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hi All, First time poster, but I've been following the thread for a while. I'm in at Notre Dame via phone call, and was wondering if anyone else who got in has not received the follow-up email? He said it'd be sent right off, so I'm just wondering if I should follow up.

Zimmy64 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Most likely rejected at Duke but I don't know for sure since their process to view your decision letter is stupidly obtuse and complex.

Stencil Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) So I still haven't heard anything at all from UCLA, and it's been about 24 hours since all of those waitlist emails were reported. Anyone else in the same situation? I'm starting to get nervous about the possibility that they've forgotten about me.
