Spirit-Seer Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I declined offers from Stanford, Toronto, Georgetown, Riverside, and Johns Hopkins, and removed myself from wait-lists at Brown and UCSD (AOI: Kant, German Idealism, German philosophy, history of philosophy).

fizzycalism Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Removed myself from CUNY's waitlist (though they said they're quite unlikely to make me an offer) and declined Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kantattheairport Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Finally caved in to the fact that I wouldn't be able to afford Tufts, and declined their offer. Apologies for doing it so late - it was a difficult decision to make, and I kept clinging on to the hope that they might be able to offer a bit more funding. Oh well. Good luck to whoever gets the spot! Descartes blanche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like skip this one out and try to fine-tune your sample so you can catch the big one next year? Those are exciting potential offers though. Let me know what happens.

MtnDuck Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 My roommate (isn't on here) just turned down funded offers from UPenn, Georgetown, and turned down Cornell earlier this week. Mostly works on feminist philosophy and social/political. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soproperlybasic Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 It was tough but...just declined NIU! I had a tuition waiver and was #8 on the list for an assistantship so hopefully this helps someone a little or increases their chances in some way.

Xia1 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Took myself off the waitlist for UVA. I believe I was pretty high on it as well, so hopefully that helps someone! SlumberingTrout and MtnDuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franzkafka Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Anyone plans to decline an offer from WUSTL? I've been stuck on the wait list for 50 days. Many thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I visited WUSTL, it seems that there were several admitted prospects that were planning on declining their offer. But of course I can't say for sure, and I don't even know how many were admitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
