schoneschein Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm with you on Fordham. I'm from the NYC metropolitan area, and I love the program. Would be such an incredible fit for me. I'm hoping for the wait-list... Right now my list is, for the most part, done. I have a PhD acceptance (but I'm on a wait-list for funding, and judging by the DGS e-mail to me, it is looking kind of grim), a PhD wait-list (this too is looking kind of grim), two PhD rejections but considering me for their MA, and a bunch of flat out PhD rejections. The only schools I haven't heard any official word from are Fordham and Villanova. How about you? We're in a similar situation! NYC might be my favorite place in the world, and Fordham's program seems perfect for me. I have one PhD acceptance (Temple), with, so far, no information about funding. I have definite rejections from DePaul, Loyola, and Oregon, and an almost certain implicit rejection from Stony Brook. I'm waiting on Fordham, Villanova, Duquesne, BU, and Hawaii. It looks fairly grim! I hope that something works out for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYC is my favorite place in the world too, and moving away from it is terrifying. I hope something works out for you as well!!! Fingers crossed for Fordham and co.

bakedalaska Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 This one is going to crush me. I'm going to OK on my Columbia rejection as I'm a relatively bad fit for the dept. I'm going to be crushed by my Mich rejection, as I'm an excellent fit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedalaska Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 At least you're in at Toronto! I'm waitlisted at Texas Austin, and in at another Canadian PhD program that is my absolute last resort. Columbia and Michigan are both perfect fits for me. Curse the GRE. Take solace in the fact that you'll likely get a Texas offer. But I know the value of a bird in hand...

Thanks, I'm trying to do just that- and I'm working on forcing the "but I would live in Texas..." thoughts out of my head. I'm such a Canadian.

bakedalaska Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm a Canadian too, with similar prejudices. Austin is awesome. Totally unlike Houston or San Antonio. Seriously, very cool town to live in. I'd be astounded if others disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon314 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Ugh... So implied rejections from: Harvard, Yale, NYU, Oxford, and now Columbia? Life is bleak. For Chrissakes, why don't they make it official and put me out of my misery? Edited March 4, 2013 by napoleon314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomelessSophist Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 So Boston College has not responded at all but I just checked my application status and, whereas it used to show no documents pending, it is now showing that I have my "Final Bachelors transcript" pending. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Mine says the same thing. Hopefully it means something good but we probably shouldn't read too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtryinghere Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Anyone here want to claim the acceptance off the Arizona wait list? I am also on the wait list and hoping to get in too, so if you have any information at all that would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquinasDuo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Official rejection from Chicago just came through. Guess I don't get to go home. Also, if I read the above correctly that I have seen nothing from Arizona means I'm not even on the waitlist, yes? If so, I have a feeling its rejections all around accept my one acceptance and one waitlist (SASP not withstanding). I wonder what about me is so bloody unappealing...

imtryinghere Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Aquinas: if you look at the results from last year, it seems that arizona sent out an initial waitlist and then a month later emailed people about an extended waitlist (perhaps because they used up their whole initial list?) So while I expect that your chances of getting an offer from Arizona are not too high at this point, I wouldn't rule it out completely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquinasDuo Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Swell. I find it strange that a Masters from St. Andrews (being highly ranked [swapping back and forth with Cambridge for #2 in the UK, and the most rigorous of the UK postgrad masters level degrees) didn't garner better results. While it would have hurt to do so, perhaps I ought have applied to Tufts' MA just for sake of a smaller but more likely step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FigNewtonette Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi Friendies. Was it one of you who declined the offer from DePaul listed on the results page? And does anyone else with an offer from there intend to decline? I'm on the wait list. Blah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philosophia3 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Claim the UOregon Masters acceptance? What did they say? I was rejected from the PhD but am being considered for the Masters. Still haven't heard anything. Still would love an acceptance from them, even if it is for the Masters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedalaska Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Just to balance things, I'm an ex-St Andrews (MLitt 2011) and I've been met with reasonable success. PM me with questions if need be. Edited March 5, 2013 by bakedalaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon314 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Did you apply to some safety schools? I've got a full ride with $3k/month stipend at an economics PhD program. I'm not going to pass that up for a second-choice philosophy program. I was sure at least one would bite, though... alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No info about the number of people on the waitlist. Just a quick note letting me know I'm high on the waitlist, and a request that I let the department know if I'm still interested in the program at this point.
