Edit_Undo Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day". What kind of nonsense is that?! Increment the votes, in your imagination, of the previous two posts. I haven't had the chance to participate yet, so hello and best of luck to you all. I hope each of us gets mapped to at least one school we'd love to go to. What are your areas of interest if you don't mind sharing?
Edit_Undo Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Someone is claiming to have received an acceptance from UCSD on whogotin. Just a heads up! Vardan_Mkhitaryan 1
MattDest Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Someone is claiming to have received an acceptance from UCSD on whogotin. Just a heads up! Congrats to that person! Hope there are more coming down the pipeline.
ianfaircloud Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Congrats to that person! Hope there are more coming down the pipeline. It's very odd that only one person posted for UCSD. That person posted not on gradcafe but on who-got-in. I'm usually not skeptical of these things. But this one is very unusual. This would be a little early (but not too early) for UCSD. Still, I'm waiting to see more...
Vardan_Mkhitaryan Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 What are your areas of interest if you don't mind sharing? Almost exactly the same as yours.
Edit_Undo Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Almost exactly the same as yours. That's what I thought, looking at the list of schools you have

It's interesting that this person's report is backwards from how it was previous acceptances, though. Last year, people were notified by phone and then were e-mailed with more details (at least according to TGC).

dgswaim Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Someone just posted a rejection from Kentucky. I don't know if anyone else out there applied to UK, but I did. Perhaps notices will start rolling out.
Platonist Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 There have been only two acceptances posted for Wisconsin-Madison so far. The two acceptances will be the first round of acceptance? Are more acceptances coming? How many guys here applied to this school?
Cottagecheeseman Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 There have been only two acceptances posted for Wisconsin-Madison so far. The two acceptances will be the first round of acceptance? Are more acceptances coming? How many guys here applied to this school? Not everyone posts to grad cafe. Seeing that two were posted, it's reasonable to think that more have went out and just were not posted here.
Mavngoose1 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 So, I still haven't heard from UNC, which is driving me insane.
TheVineyard Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 So, I still haven't heard from UNC, which is driving me insane. Nothing even if you check website?
ianfaircloud Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 So, I still haven't heard from UNC, which is driving me insane. I would absolutely contact the department today. Everyone should have heard something from UNC at this point. They do notify people on their wait-list. They already notified rejections. So by elimination, you should have been notified.
Mavngoose1 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Nothing even if you check website? Nope. I have been checking it a couple times a day for the last week.

TheVineyard Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Nope. I have been checking it a couple times a day for the last week. I'm a bit apprehensive about doing so. Why, what's the worst that can happen?
Mavngoose1 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Why, what's the worst that can happen? Perhaps the send button on my email is rigged up to a large nuclear device that will be set off and result in the destruction of the world. Even worse, if there is an infinite set of concretely existing possible worlds, then in one such world this is true! So, clearly to avoid being culpable for such a horrific crime, I should not send the email. Edited February 7, 2014 by Mavngoose1 philosophia14, MattDest and Monadology 3
deverettf Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Of course, we might also be in a possible world in which your failure to send an email to UNC in the next day or so results in nuclear apocalypse.... Monadology 1
Mavngoose1 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Of course, we might also be in a possible world in which your failure to send an email to UNC in the next day or so results in nuclear apocalypse.... Yeah, I know. I was being facetious so I didn't have to admit that my "reasons" for not sending the email were not particularly rational.
philosophia14 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 In some possible world, has Notre Dame sent out rejections/acceptances? I'd rather it was the concrete world, but if someone can assure me that there is a possible world in which they have, it would make it easier.

I'd rather it was the concrete world, but if someone can assure me that there is a possible world in which they have, it would make it easier. I feel your pain, I promise you. I can only speak for myself (so take it for what it's worth), but I've not heard anything from Notre Dame one way or the other as of yet. I wait anxiously... philosophia14 1
philosophia14 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 Nice to know someone else feels it. What are your interests within Phil of Religion? There aren't many of us with that AOI.
dgswaim Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 My interests are fairly broad, but most specifically I'm interested in phil religion and phil science as competing epistemological models. I also have interests in reformed epistemology (e.g. Plantinga and Alston) and philosophical theology (e.g. Swinburne). But mostly I'm interested in topics where epistemological models in religion and science address the same questions and making a case for a kind of "mutual support" theory. What about yourself?
