Schwarzwald Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Willing to trade my Columbia rejection for someone's UMich rejection. I didn't apply to UMich this year, but regret it, so a rejection would give me closure. Kantattheairport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dormouse Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Waitlisted at Utah. That makes 2 waitlists this cycle and no acceptances yet. After being shut out last year, I'm feeling pretty optimistic that something may work out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Also heard back from UC Riverside that I'm on the waitlist. I missed this but it came up in the search I just did- congratulations! USF is loaded with philosophers that do my AOI's. It's about as perfect a fit as I could ever hope for, really. GuanilosIsland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePeon Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 3 hours ago, ArendtYouKidding said: 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... Looking at the results page from previous years, it kinda looks like they historically are bad about sending out mass rejection letters, and have been late to responding to solicitations for application status. It's frustratingly opaque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeyb10 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Curious: can anyone confirm that they've heard from Stanford? From what I can tell, nobody has claimed an acceptance on this forum or on the Facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi_hello Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Can anyone claim the waitlist at Toronto's MA program? Seems odd that only a waitlist response would be out, and I spoke to people at the grad school there last week who indicated that offers wouldn't go out until the last week of the month at the earliest.

LORDBACON Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just solicited responses from: UCR (2nd attempt), UCSD (2nd attempt), Syracuse, Vanderbilt, Boston C., Texas A&M, Fordham, SIU Carbondale, Depaul, UNM With the exception of the last 3 (who seem not to have released any decisions yet), I am doubtful that this silence bodes well for my plans of attending these programs.

eigenname Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) From UNC: I am sorry that we can’t give you any more information at this time. At this point, we have made offers and constructed a waitlist, but we have not sent out rejections because we have not made final determinations about the applicant pool. As soon as our entering class is filled we will process rejections. I am sorry I can’t tell you anything more about your personal situation. I know this is a stressful period and UNC will be in touch as soon as it is possible to give you more information. In other words, probably rejected (but she can't formally say), but if, somehow, everyone on the waitlist and all offer holders rejected their offers perhaps we'll have a chance. So, hey, non-zero probability! Edit: Offer Holders/Waitlisted People: you know what to do!

LORDBACON Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 For any applicants this may concern: I am planning to accept USF's offer unless UCR, UCSD, Baylor, Fordham, or UNM make me an offer. In the latter case it'll probably come down to doing some visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neither Here Nor There Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) I see that some people solicited responses from BC and that they have snail mailed rejection letters accordingly. Oh lord. I haven't solicited a response but will assume I am rejected since I heard nothing. They need to not use snail mail.

A professor at UNC commented on here recently that sometimes they will bring up someone not on teh waitlist and prioritize them before someone on the waitlist in order to balance their AOI. Or something like that. But I think the bottom line is right: the chances are slim but still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul did say something like that as well (she quoted the post from Leiter I quoted a few pages back so I didn't want to repost it), so I am holding out hope. Though I probably should have dropped the mention about wait-listed people (since no wait-lists to my knowledge has been sent out) and instead focus on calling for offer holders to drop out in the right proportion so that my AOI will come into relevance.
