Silly_Socrates Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 USF people, Are you considering turning them down? I'm currently 4th on the waitlist for funding. Also, Congrats! I was waitlisted for funding as well at USF, but I will be declining soon. From what I was told from the department, they usually are able to fund up to the 6th person on the waitlist. I hope funding works out in your favor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulpessimiste Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I'd like to know, three! (I promise I'm not in third grade. ) Also, the Michigan philosophy department's website says that those admitted and wait listed will be notified by March 15th. However, I assume this is false. The date is probably either March 14th (this Friday) or March 17th or 18th. I include the 18th because I think admissions committees often like to give themselves one last Monday to review things. It's weird, they told me the 15th when I emailed them back in February. At first I thought that was really bizarre, but given how active weekends seem to be (unfortunately), that made sense to me. But then again, I'm a bit baffled by how things have gone where Michigan is concerned. But you, DHume, also have a number of wonderful choices!

PerpetualApplicant No More Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) But you, DHume, also have a number of wonderful choices! Yeah, but you get to live in Philly, which may well be the best city on the east coast (it's as fun as New York and as cheap as Baltimore). P.S. I'm a native Bostonian. P.P.S. When you visit, if you eat meat, go to Koch's Deli on 43rd and Locust. It's seriously better than the famous New York delis (2nd Avenue, Carnegie, etc) Edited March 12, 2014 by perpetualapplicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If UCSD or UCLA had accepted me, maybe I'd be ok...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been Chicago once, but from what I understand it and Philly are actually really similar in a lot of ways ('blue collar' reputation and sports fanaticism come to mind). You should probably learn to like Yuengling though (I don't know if it's still the case, but it used to be that you could go to a bar in Philly, ask for a 'lager' and they would know to give you a Yuengling). flybottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopefulpessimiste Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I think it is fair to say that Chicago is one of the best cities on Earth. It has fantastic museums, symphony, theater, food, and drink. And it is way cheaper, cleaner, and prettier (yes, with trees and a huge lakefront) than NYC. Also, I have a good friend at Riverside, and she is very happly there. So yay for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually pondering whether or not I should withdraw one or both of my apps to UConn and CUNY. Philly is kind of dirty, but somehow, that's part of its charm. The food is fantastic and the museums are great, though I can't speak to the symphony. Edited March 12, 2014 by perpetualapplicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right that weekends, mainly Saturdays, have been quite active this year. And congrats on the Penn acceptance! I know a couple people in the department.

lesage13 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Not sure if this has already been said, but for those still waiting to hear from UMass, I found the following on their website today: "We are still evaluating applications for our PhD program. But if you have not heard from us by Friday, March15, then your application is no longer under consideration." nietzschemarket and shelbyelisha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgswaim Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just discovered that the Philosophy & Religion track at USF has lost its funding. This was not the case when I applied. I'm more than a little disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesage13 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 But there is no Friday, March 15th this year ... Lol, just noticed that. Hopefully, it's a typo and not the adcom's idea of a cruel joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly_Socrates Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Thanks! I hope so too. Are you choosing St. Louis instead of USF? The programs seem pretty comparable. I think SLU has slightly better placement than USF, and SLU also offers more courses in medical ethics, which is my main concern. Not to mention, SLU's stipend is larger and guaranteed for 5 years. However, i would likely choose Bowling Green or Michigan state over SLU given their strengths in applied ethics, but I am still waiting to hear from MSU and am on a waitlist for funding from BGSU. I am visiting SLU next week, so I'll see how I like their department and city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested in Medical ethics and choose to attend SLU, you might check to see if Ronald Munson is teaching any courses across town at the U of Missouri-St. Louis. He is a professor emeritus. So, I'm not sure if he is teaching courses anymore, but he is, I think, a leading contributor to the medical ethics literature. And even if he is no longer teaching, he might be willing to provide you with some assitance. Silly_Socrates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murial Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Has any applicant to The New School around here checked their newschool.edu account? A lot of posters in the result section are finding an accepted student tab upon logging into that account, although their admission hub pages remain unchanged.
