SlumberingTrout Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The end of the season is only a cool two weeks out, and we can expect final decisions to start rolling in before too long -- I'm excited for those of us who have already made their final decisions! We have a thread dedicated to those offers we're declining, but as @Swann pointed out, not a thread for the opposite. Let's turn things around and hear specifically about which schools' offers y'all have accepted! What was your final decision about where you'll be going this fall? What are you looking forward to? Concerned about? Swann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinessloopypun Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I believe it would be more helpful for only waitlisted applicants such as myself if people would list all the places they have been accepted to and then their decision.

BL16 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (I'm pretty sure all this information can be found somewhere in the forum, but I guess a summary could be helpful.) I've accepted NYU's offer. I've declined offers from Ohio State, Northwestern, Michigan, UCLA, Toronto, Yale, Pittsburgh, Harvard, Princeton, Oxford (BPhil), USC, Rutgers, U-Conn and UT-Austin. I've taken myself off the following waitlists: MIT, Columbia, CUNY and UNC. PhiloStorian, quinessloopypun, dormouse and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinozian Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Accepted Toronto! Declined offers from UC Davis, Western Ontario, Leeds, and Indiana (HPS). I also had a Cambridge interview but by the time that came around I'd already accepted. I feel really good about Toronto (IHPST), especially with some of the new faculty they've recently picked up. Going to be weird going international, but I'm excited for the change of pace and the fresh start. Pre-emptive 'congrats' to everyone posting here.

be. Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I just accepted Yale’s offer. That’s it for me. Good luck to everyone who is still deciding! SlumberingTrout, Kantattheairport, Xia1 and 7 others 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnDuck Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've accepted University of Washington Seattle. I've also removed myself from the waitlists for UC-Davis and UVA. Don't know if that will help folks, but at least if I would have gotten an offer they can go straight on to the next person without delay.

thehegeldialectic Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Accepted Villanova. Declined Duquesne, Kentucky, South Florida, USI Carbondale, and removed myself from the wait list at Loyola and UC Riverside. So the final score is a5/2w/r7 out of 14. Pretty good season, I'd say.
