Ginnungagap Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I just got my M.A. in philosophy last May and now I've applied to Ph.D. programs at the following schools: University of Arizona Washington University in St. Louis University of Washington, Seattle. University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Syracuse University Bowling Green State University University of Missouri, Columbia University of Utah University of Rochester University of California, San Diego So far I've been accepted at Illinois and Missouri. Really anxious to hear back from some of the other ones. My biggest interest is in political philosophy, especially issues concerning libertarianism and classical liberalism. I'm also interested in normative ethics, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsm Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 So are you one of the acceptances? I still haven't heard... No, it looks like I am not, since I hadn't heard from them either. Pittsburgh HPS was definitely my top choice though. And it was probably also a top choice for the others who were accepted too, so I am not optimistic about wait lists or anything. So far my results have been poor. I applied to a lot of very competitive programs, but still 0/4 is not a reassuring start. What other programs did you apply to?

I applied to a lot of very competitive programs, but still 0/4 is not a reassuring start. What other programs did you apply to? I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Looking at past years, it was always a little staggered, and they never called everybody - the rest heard in the mail, and that can take a while. Actually, I haven't heard back from anywhere so far. I mostly applied to straight philosophy programmes and a few HPS, because I can't decide what I want to do. Pittsburgh would become my first choice if I was going to do HPS, but not overall. I guess I'll let fate decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaruNoKaze Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anybody want to claim/comment on the Berkeley posts in the Results page? Looks like notifications were sent out via email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeriouslyKidding Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I suppose I should stop lurking and contribute my list to this thread. I've applied to a mere seven programs: Tufts Brandeis UW-Milwaukee Colorado State University of Colorado (MA or Ph.D) WashU Georgetown I'm a PoliSci undergrad and five years out of school, so am more hopeful about my chances in the MA programs than in the Ph.Ds. My primary interests are in ethics (applied, normative and meta) and political philosophy. I'm interested in other stuff too. I haven't heard from anyone yet, and the only results posted in the survey from any of my schools are from WashU's PNP program, so I'm still holding out a little bit of hope. Judging by the results posted last year, my rejections should start showing up around the end of this month... Good luck everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emm okk Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 SFSU Acceptances - Applicants are this week hearing back from UC schools; so far, it has been a good year. Hope everyone else is having similar luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeriouslyKidding Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Same w/ CU-Boulder. Hopefully some of you were among those accepted. On to the next one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsm Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Laughed when I saw the NYU acceptance post, which boasts a 4.00 GPA and 800/800/6. And accepted in the year 2020, no less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zachbarnett Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Promptly rejected from Berkeley; wait listed at Yale. Also, I haven't heard anything from UCR, but I see that they've sent out some acceptances. Should I be pessi or opti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magog Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Is there anyone who got a acceptance or rejection? I'll claim that result. I'm keeping it under wraps in my offline life (since it's not 100% final until March), but since this site is more or less anonymous I guess I'll come out of the closet. I was shocked and awed by the phone call, to say the least. Still haven't totally wrapped my head around it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
