Plato54 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Has anyone heard back from the John U. Nef Committee on Social Thought? Anyone? It's been crickets this year, and I know at this point it's almost certainly a rejection for me, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it!! ?
charliekkk Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I'm in the same place with you... So odd. I'm gonna wait til March 10th and, if it's still quiet, email and solicit.
Plato54 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 It looks like there is one posted rejection in the forum.
Plato54 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 I have still heard nothing, though my last name is at the end of the alphabet. (not sure if that has any sort of influence)
ohtimethypyramids Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I think admit is unlikely (they probably already notified those people) and at this point I just want to get an unfunded MAPSS offer like everyone else so I can do an insulted spit-take
Plato54 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 I'm with you on that. Wish they didn't take 40 years to get back to us, but what can be done?

That is true, perhaps I will miss this period of chaos. No offers for me! I’m straight out of my undergrad, but I have some offers to work abroad, which I will likely take up and apply again in a few years. And you?
ohtimethypyramids Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Very cool - congrats on those! I'm pretty pumped about my CMU offer. Also have some Ph.D. offers in pure math. CMU is interdisciplinary in a similar way to Chicago, but there's more opportunities for math applications research in philosophy at CMU, so I'm very excited.
ohtimethypyramids Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Just got my rejection! They recommended I apply for MAPH, but not in a condescending way ("if you have not already found a satisfactory option for next year"), so I can't even be mad. Damn.
