Self-ignorant Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Underlabourer, I believe UC may have sent out just the first bunch of acceptances, but that's based on the fact that I've only seen two acceptances posted so far. The acceptance was a direct email from their DGS. My AOI is philosophy of mind and cognitive science. I just checked my application and it shows that I applied for the philosophy PhD, but I am interested in the life sciences track. I can't remember what the application process was to apply for the latter, but given that my application specifies the philosophy PhD, it may be that either I didn't apply for the life sciences track directly or that it groups all philosophy PhD applications under one application title, in which case I could have applied for the life sciences track but it doesn't indicate so on my application. Thanks for the congratulations! Edited February 5, 2020 by Self-ignorant underlabourer and Philosofiend 2

I can't claim one of the FB group offers, but I did receive an acceptance from Davis today via email (no word on funding, however). AOI is philosophy of science.
Losebeforeapply Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Can someone claim the offer of UT and share one's AOI and the topic of writing sample? Is the offer official or personal? Self-ignorant and Philosofiend 2

Thanks for the congratulations! thanks for so much info. here's hoping that we'll be studying together next year! also, if i remember correctly, i only specified the desired track in my SoP... i do not think that there was an option to do so on the application proper.

Congrats to everyone for getting in! -- Fingers crossed for everyone else I hope this does not come as a shock, but: you seem to have found yourself stranded amongst philosophers. (Potential outcomes: (1) Full-blown conversion (once you get a taste for the good (philosophical) stuff, there's no going back), (2) Mental disintegration (as a pure math person, you'll probably avoid this less-than-savoury option, having already passed the thinking-abstractly test), (3) Rebellion (how great would a movie about a group of mathematicians trying to overthrow a philosopher-king-run society be?).) You're (more than) welcome to stick around (there's some delicious Kool Aid coming around later...) but you probably won't get any answers to your questions here (no answers to either math-PhD related questions or really any other ones—we are philosophers after all...). Jokes aside, best of luck in your graduate application season!
