GrammaticalFiction Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 As was I. Does anyone know anything about it? I take it it's not funded? And it's interdisciplinary, not just philosophy, so....ya. I was accepted to the MAPH as well. They fund a few people, but the vast majority are unfunded. There will be a link at the bottom of the official letter that will let you know if they are funding you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logos0516 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Why haven't more people posted CUNY acceptances on the acceptance page? There were only two. Surely a lot more than that got in. Philhopeful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerpetualApplicant No More Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Did anyone submit a writing sample in moral psychology? Yes, but only to UCR--I submitted a differnet paper elsewhere (I thought the stuff was too specific). Seeing as I've been admitted only to Riverside, I am regretting my decision just a bit (I'm thrilled with UCR, but I would love a choice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perpetuavix Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Why haven't more people posted CUNY acceptances on the acceptance page? There were only two. Surely a lot more than that got in. Maybe they don't come to TGC? Or they're really slow at admitting people? Although there's 4 acceptances up now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVineyard Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Why haven't more people posted CUNY acceptances on the acceptance page? There were only two. Surely a lot more than that got in. My feeling is that the CUNY acceptances posted today were only the applicants that were nominated for the fellowship (they both mentioned that they were "waitlisted for fellowship"). Fellowships in philosophy are typically a "special" funding package that involves not teaching for one or more years. Surely not every person they accept will be "waitlisted for fellowship" so I'm guessing there are more acceptances to come. At least, that's what I hope. EDIT: Eh maybe they're all out. IDK.

elipo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Can someone explain to me why the most recent CUNY posting is inquiring about female CUNY admits? philosophe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottagecheeseman Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 My guess is maybe they have information about the climate or want information about the climate for women? That's what seems to make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypatience Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Some schools have gendered wait lists, to ensure good representation in the incoming cohort. Maybe they have reason to believe that this is the case at CUNY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK. ....and do you believe we'll probably have to wait until at least Monday to find out? I took the liberty of e-mailing a few people in the department to find out what the heck is going on. I figure (a) if I'm rejected, bothering people won't make a bit of difference at this point, and ( if I'm accepted, it's probably too late for them to un-accept me. I seriously doubt they would wait list me, probably just reject or accept, so that wasn't much of a worry. If *anybody* gets back to my e-mails tomorrow, I'll be sure to post.

Sorry to quote 2x...maybe so about the fellowship but CUNY has enough funding for 10 applicants. Is it possible that other people are getting in and getting funding, just not this *special* fellowship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerpetualApplicant No More Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) Do they really? Wow I had no idea. That seems like a good practice. I remember seeing a claim on a WGI thread last year to that effect, though I have no further (read: serious) basis for believing so. But I agree it is a good practice.

MOST schools offer a couple fellowships and the rest teaching/research assistantships. CUNY might be different, idk. But my expectation is that people will get accepted with assistantships.

I meant to say: good luck especially to everyone *else* with Arizona wait lists or offers (since their getting an NYU offer increases my chances of getting in off the AZ wait list).
