Well that's good maybe I can get in there. Probably, but because I got nominated for a Jefferson Fellowship, I'd at least like to hear a bit more about that before deciding.

From what I remember from last year, Arizona has a short and an extended wait list. They only initially email people on the short list, but do not reject people on the extended list just in case. However, it's extremely unlikely that those on the extended list will be made an offer: I'd treat it as a rejection for practical purposes, and be very pleasantly surprised if it turns out otherwise.

I didn't apply there because I don't want to live amongst southerners... I think that would be terrible, but good luck to those with a chance! I've never heard someone refer to Arizonans as "Southerners", although Tucson is only 60 miles away from the Mexican border. Table and marXian 2

Weltgeist Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Is it safe to assume not all the Chicago acceptances have gone out yet? Because whether it is or not, I want to.

We haven't even begun to hear about potential waitlisted applicants, and we haven't seen the usual "rejected but offered a place in the money-pit MAPH" posts yet.

DHumeDominates Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Arizona wait listed me! Hooray! Now I can say that I've been at least quasi-successful. Silly_Socrates, Edit_Undo, Hopephily and 1 other 4

Oh. I didn't understand you. My bad. And I didn't realize they don't waitlist. That blows. EDIT: I guess I did know that looking back at their website. I guess I just chose to forget.

Weltgeist Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 no shame - choosing to forget is basically how I'm surviving right now
DHumeDominates Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Does anyone have any info on the Virginia wait list?

But Chapel Hill is stronger in ethics, is solid in political philosophy (especially given my interests), and has one very strong figure in philosophy of law (Gerald Postema). Chapel Hill's funding package is significantly better: more money and more time on fellowship. I also have some personal reasons as well (Chapel Hill's location is more appealing to me, my fiancee is a teacher and the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area is more populated than Tucson, Chapel Hill is a bit closer to family, etc.). Short answer: If political were my only strong interest, I would definitely wait on Arizona, but I like ethics as least as much as I like political, and I really like what Chapel Hill has to offer in ethics. Thanks for this. That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate you laying out your thought process, it's nice to get some additional perspectives on the process.

I put together this possibly-helpful graphic that displays which schools have sent out acceptances, wait-lists, and rejections. (I'm not updating the graphic until I am pretty certain that a school has actually sent these notifications. So, e.g., I'm waiting for more before I update the NYU status.) http://faircloudblog.wordpress.com/notifications/ I may move this to a blog post, so if this link doesn't work in the future, just go to the home page/archives of the blog (faircloudblog.wordpress.com). Also, for redundancy, I may repost this later in a separate thread (so that people don't miss it here). It looks so damn beautiful! (It would look nicer on a horizontal layout, but the blog has a different structure, so the vertical layout is understandable).
ohhemingway Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Has anyone here applied to Michigan? There's a couple of acceptances up, but they seem more personalized. Any chance they've all been sent out?

(One correction: at least some Arizona wait lists have gone out.) I'm surprised that so few rejections have gone out at this point. You and ianfaircloud deserve Olympic gold! ... K, that was cheesy and unforgiveable.
