ungerdrag Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Got a voice message from NYU... saying that I forgot to upload my transcript. Despite the heart attack, it's nice to know that I'm still in the race, and that they'll be meeting soon. philosophe and kant_get_in 2

Accepted into Harvard, might not go because the letter was rude. Man I want that problem. ungerdrag, Wait For It... and ta_pros_to_telos 3
philosophe Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 CONGRATS! I have some friends up there, and they love it. Thanks! I remember someone else on the thread saying they had attended, and that it was grand. If anyone who's attended SASP is on the threads, please message me. I'd love to hear about your experience!
TheVineyard Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Lol. Accepted into Harvard, might not go because the letter was rude. Man I want that problem. It was obviously a joke/troll. The guy says he is 'on the fence' when he was supposedly rejected to every other school but accepted to Harvard.
hexenkid Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Anyone here still waiting to hear back from Queen's University? I see some acceptances have gone out, but a lull since then. Do you know how their process works? I have a few deadlines coming up from other places but I would REALLY like to hear back from Queen's. thanks!

Hypatience Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I was offered funding at CUNY but have declined the offer. Hopefully this helps somebody out! (Possibly the woman who posted on the results search the other day?) ungerdrag and humean_skeptic 2

(Possibly the woman who posted on the results search the other day?) Well congrats on the CUNY offer anyway! Does this mean you'll be turning down Arizona as well?
Occam's Razorburn Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Heads' up, guys! I just got a call from Calvin Normore--UCLA is still admitting its initial batch. Apparently they just didn't call everyone at the same time. I'm hoping this is awesome news for some other people besides myself. Good luck to all. ta_pros_to_telos, Wait For It..., Hypatience and 4 others 7

Congrats and also curse you for getting my hopes up again!
Occam's Razorburn Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Congrats! Congrats and also curse you for getting my hopes up again! Thanks, and I'm sorry! But hey, you never know--it could just mean that you'll be getting called in a few minutes. In which case, advance warning might help you sound like less of an idiot than I did. Monadology 1
zblaesi Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I have fantasies about Sharon Street calling me. Sharon: "Hey, Zach." Zach: "Sharon?... what the fuck?..." Establishment, ta_pros_to_telos and v_e_r000 3
dgswaim Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Do you think a flattering love letter to Rice might help my chances? Before discovering philosophy, I aspired to be a poet. Maybe I can woo them into an acceptance. It worked on my wife... Maybe something like: Roses are red Violets are blue Funding is awesome And so is funding Rice's response was something like the following: While the admissions committee disagrees as to the constitutive properties of roses and violets, we can confirm that funding is, indeed, awesome. Your application, however, was not, and so you won't receive any from us. Ok... maybe it wasn't quite that harsh... philosopheme 1

hopefulpessimiste Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Heads' up, guys! I just got a call from Calvin Normore--UCLA is still admitting its initial batch. Apparently they just didn't call everyone at the same time. I'm hoping this is awesome news for some other people besides myself. Good luck to all. Congrats! Also claiming a UChicaog rejection (at least I finally heard something...) and a Stanford rejection. Stanford and Princeton are my absolute dream schools. It was such a nice rejection, but I'll be feeling this one for quite some time.
humean_skeptic Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 First NYU offer has been posted, folks. Congrats to the poster! Anyone able to claim it?
ungerdrag Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Got into NYU. Holy fuck... philstudent1991, IanHendon, philosopheme and 6 others 9
