Cottagecheeseman Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Edgecliffe is a splendid building with a nice garden, and the classroom overlooks the North Sea. Virginia is my lead contender right now. I am waitlisted for funding at St. Andrews, and I would need funding to be able to return. Same for Missouri (their process seems weirder and weirder the more I learn about it), and the fellowship there might sway me. Something draws me to SUNY, it is hard to put my finger on, but I am wiling to wager that passing on Virginia for SUNY would be unwise. I really hope we'll be fellow classmates then!

dgswaim Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Welp, here's hopin' for a fruitful week for all those out there (like myself) who are still waiting on applications. Come on you stragglers! kant_get_in and Dabaliga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulpessimiste Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I never would have thought this, but apparently getting into grad school is only part of the problem...you have to make sure there are people at the department once you get there. Penn seems to be making the latter a bit difficult... philwomen2014 and Structural_Realist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefulpessimiste Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah I've heard about this...what happened there, and do you have any more info about the situation now? Well, when Paul Guyer left for Brown several years ago, I'm told that the reason for the move was monitary. But with Adrienne Martin leaving, I don't know. It just seems like they've lost several people recently, so they need a bunch of good hires. But, they have made one good hire, so hopefully that will help. I"ll be asking them about that this week. There is also a "very reasonable chance" that I will be admitted to Wisconsin, so at least I have options (hopefully!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you know that there is a "very reasonable chance" that you will get off the waitlist at Wisconsin? (PM too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humean_skeptic Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 If I've received an offer, then I should post on the Acceptance Thread on TGC.

SamStone Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Finally heard back from UW-Milwaukee...was accepted! really excited to hear about the possibility of funding. I'm not sure how much they give or typically offer, but I am supposedly on a "short waiting list" for it! first real acceptance so far...so this comes as a relief!

alethicethic Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Congratulations! Would you mind sharing what your AOI is? If not I understand. Moral psychology, mostly, but with broad interests in moral and political. Congratulations! You didn't happen to ask if that was their last offer, did you? I didn't, but my impression was that they are still admitting people. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModalFictionalist Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Congratulations! You didn't happen to ask if that was their last offer, did you? Congratulations, alethic! Monadology, I turned down an offer from UCLA the day before this offer was made. I'm guessing they'll make more offers as others submit their decisions.

ModalFictionalist Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I see you've narrowed down your prospects a lot! Any ideas where you will end up? Leaning towards MIT philosophy and Yale Law. USC is an interesting option, given my interests in metaethics and the philosophy of language. Harvard Law would be geographically convenient if I chose MIT philosophy, but Harvard seems to produce mostly corporate lawyers, and that's obviously not my intended career path. I'll have to visit some programs before making my final decision. Edited March 19, 2014 by ModalFictionalist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
