humean_skeptic Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Top 5, and over a week early. Pittsburgh?

Hopephily Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Speaking of top 5, whatever happened to Michigan anyway? A couple of people posted acceptances, but then it went silent... DHumeDominates 1
DHumeDominates Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Speaking of top 5, whatever happened to Michigan anyway? A couple of people posted acceptances, but then it went silent... Excellent question. I highly doubt Michigan has released all its acceptances. I know that some applicants don't post their results on TGC, but you'd think that more than two would post for a given school (esp. one as fine as Michigan). I hope that UPenn and Indiana announce soon. I bet they will either on Friday or next Monday. Edited February 12, 2014 by DHumeDominates

DHumeDominates Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I happen to have heard that a pretty great school is going to release tomorrow. Good luck all! How could you know this? Do you go to the school in question (i.e., are you an undergrad or MA student there)? Anyway, thanks for the info! This is exciting. ... Of course, I'll be rejected, but whatevs.
Sophist Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Top 5, and over a week early. I know MIT is a tad shy of top 5, but please let it be MIT! TheVineyard 1
MattDest Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I know MIT is a tad shy of top 5, but please let it be MIT! I doubt it is MIT, but it seems like MIT has been pretty consistent with their admissions timing (February 21-23), so I would think it's not a terrible guess that it will be around that time this year.
shelbyelisha Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Can anyone claim any of the UConn acceptances? I've yet to hear anything from them. I saw someone reference (quite a few pages back, now) that they keep a very long wait list. Is this true?

I received an offer from them in the last week of January, which I declined earlier this week. No idea about the wait list though, sorry!
ungerdrag Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Awesome thread! Thought I might throw in a few things: (1) Michigan has probably accepted other people besides the ones who posted. One was me (phone call, fellowship offer). Apparently there was a list of people to be called, so there was at least one other acceptance besides my phone acceptance and the email posted here. (2) I was given a sweet deal by UNC Chapel Hill. I intend to make up my mind by April 3 or so (at the *very* latest), so either UNC or UM (or both) will have an extra offer sometime around then—and maybe some money, too. (3) A top 20 program (maybe top 10, maybe not) that's not on the east coast will be deciding whom to admit a week from this Friday. I haven't checked to see if Grad Cafe allows for PMs, but if so, I'd say who in private. (Don't want to be de-anonymized.) Best of luck to everyone who's waiting to hear back, and congrats to those who've gotten in!

Congratulations! Was your status changed on their site? I agree that they've almost certainly admitted more than the 2 who posted. I kind of suspect that the more personal an offer seems to be (like phone call vs. email) the less likely someone is to post it. Edited February 12, 2014 by Table
philosophia14 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Anyone have any theories on what happened to Notre Dame? We expected them a week ago! ta_pros_to_telos 1
StillWaiting13 Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 I happen to have heard that a pretty great school is going to release tomorrow. Good luck all! I JUST HOPE YALE AND CUNY HURRY UP!!!! I meant to yell, not at you, at the universe.
dgswaim Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Anyone have any theories on what happened to Notre Dame? We expected them a week ago! Nothing has happened. This, it seems to me, is exactly the problem. Wish they'd hurry up and send me my rejection notice... jeez... philosophia14 1
ta_pros_to_telos Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That means it must be Harvard. Well, sleeping tonight might be difficult. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats on Michigan and UNC; those are some great schools!

Weltgeist Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 wait-listed at Toronto! utterly ecstatic. the email says I can "reasonably expect" to be admitted. not sure how strongly to take that but i'll take it nonetheless Monadology, PRising, MattDest and 2 others 5
Cottagecheeseman Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Congrats to all you people! I still haven't heard anything at all, and it's hard to contain this much longer. But I know a student at one of the schools I applied too (we went to undergrad together) and someone asked him about me apparently, so I have high hopes that I won't be completely shut out!

philstudent1991 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 When I started this process I was hoping for like 2-3 offers. Now I'm like....just one waitlist and I'll be happy. Silly_Socrates and TheVineyard 2
AquinasDuo Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Seems like lack of contact from Toronto is officially an rejection at this point. This once cuts me deeply; I've known a fair few who have gone through that program and generally am accepted as their equal. Not to mention a great personal desire to attend, and live in, Toronto. I'm finding rejections hit harder this time with an acceptance in hand than they did prior years. Interesting...

I know someone at a department to which I applied and s/he does not like me very much at all. Cottagecheeseman and greencoloredpencil 1 1
DHumeDominates Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Does anyone know if UVA and Wisconsin-Madison have sent out wait list notifications? Also, is it true that UCSD doesn't use a wait list? Insane.

That's great news!
