philstudent1991 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For anyone interested Georgia State sent out an email saying not to expect decisions until at least February 26. Also I can't believe this week has been so dead MongooseMayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgswaim Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Anyone who knows which PhD programs in philosophy besides Albany SUNY are still open for application? It seems that the application deadline of most of these programs has already expired. But are there any ones that accept application with financial aids? Thanks. If you're open to MA programs, there are many that are still receiving applications. Ohio University, for instance, is accepting applications through March 1st.

philosophe Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So, given what is transpiring with Northwestern and Ludlow, I wonder what this could mean for those of us who got into Northwestern this year... especially given what happened with CU. If they've already made you an offer, I wouldn't worry about it. CU was an extreme situation, and they suspended admissions... even if NU went down this path, it would affect next year's cycle.

marXian Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) So, given what is transpiring with Northwestern and Ludlow, I wonder what this could mean for those of us who got into Northwestern this year... especially given what happened with CU. If it's any help at all, I'm a current PhD student at NU. Though I'm not in the philosophy department, much of my course work has been there, and I'm working closely with one of the professors. I know a number of the students fairly well. Honestly, I did not know this Ludlow thing was happening until looking at these threads. I don't know what that says exactly, but I would highly recommend you get in touch with some current students and female professors. If you want, feel free to PM me and I can direct you to some folks who I know would be completely happy to answer your questions. As others have said, this isn't going to affect your current offer (this scandal took place initially in 2012, from what I've gathered, and they've had two strong incoming classes since then.)

TheVineyard Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I feel like this week we are eating a massive can of beans so that we can explosively diarrheate (?) this acceptance thread with positive news on Friday. shelbyelisha and Sophist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamStone Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Has UC-Riverside released any rejections? If I haven't heard back either way from them and am starting to assume the rejection notice is implied. Also...does anyone know how MA programs are handling notifications? I have applied to several of them as well but have not heard anything back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think that really helps the HPS people much, considering that there has only been one of them and it was by phone. Probably their favorite candidate got it early.
