mithrandir8 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Thought it might be nice to have a thread for people to say how their seasons have summed up and if they've decided to go anywhere now that the season is in the home stretch. Dysexlia, hector549 and Duns Eith 3
Kelvindison Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I've decided to go to Pitt. The only problem is that Pitt rejected me. mithrandir8, KittyPlaut, HopOnMyCrates and 11 others 9 5

fromthearmchair Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 I think at this point I can safely assume rejects at the last few stragglers, given that they've already announced accepts and waitlists. That means I'll end my season 6a/4w/8r//18, barring surprises. I sunk an ungodly amount of time and effort into applications, but I know that's a great overall season and I'm super happy it!

redsubywa Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Only got the one acceptance (and two waitlists), but luckily it was my top choice! I'm finishing up an MA at Boston College, and I'm thrilled to continue on to their PhD. SmugSnugInARug, Marcus_Aurelius, Duns Eith and 8 others 8 3

brookspn Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I've had pretty good luck this year: I'm in at USC and waitlisted at Rutgers. I suppose we'll see how things shake out come 15 April! leveller and KittyPlaut 1 1
leveller Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Accepted at Colorado, waitlisted at Michigan & North Carolina. Rejected by Rutgers, Arizona, UCSD & Georgetown. Applying from an unranked program. AOI - ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of law. Very happy with these results. Even if I don't have any more luck, I love the Colorado program. I know that elite programs' waitlists probably don't move much, but I'm thrilled even by the possibility. KittyPlaut, Marcus_Aurelius, Cytem and 1 other 2 2
armchair_revolutionary Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I am surprised I found this thread buried on the second page given that we are now just a week and a half out from the 15th! I will be accepting my offer at the University of Minnesota for their program in Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature. I declined my lone philosophy acceptance (Marquette) and removed myself from the waitlists at Loyola and Michigan State, so hopefully this opens up some spots for people.

SmugSnugInARug Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 I have accepted my offer at Duquesne University, with a final score 2a/1w/4r. AOI - Phil. Music, Plato, Deleuze, Aesthetics. Extremely excited to work at a program with like 4 scholars who all work on large portions of my interests. Basically been my top choice since I started applying. Kantattheairport 1

neechaa Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 It's good to hear about all the acceptances! I myself have not been very lucky so for- got rejected by Washington University in St. Louis (WashU), Boston University and Rice University. I am waitlisted at Minnesota and Virginia though, so that's what I am counting on. Curiously enough I am yet to hear back from Mizzou. So yeah, the season is far from summed up for me!
