Virginia is my lead contender right now. I am waitlisted for funding at St. Andrews, and I would need funding to be able to return. Same for Missouri (their process seems weirder and weirder the more I learn about it), and the fellowship there might sway me. Something draws me to SUNY, it is hard to put my finger on, but I am wiling to wager that passing on Virginia for SUNY would be unwise. I really hope we'll be fellow classmates then!
dgswaim Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Welp, here's hopin' for a fruitful week for all those out there (like myself) who are still waiting on applications. Come on you stragglers! Dabaliga and kant_get_in 2
hopefulpessimiste Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I never would have thought this, but apparently getting into grad school is only part of the problem...you have to make sure there are people at the department once you get there. Penn seems to be making the latter a bit difficult... Structural_Realist and philwomen2014 2

Well, when Paul Guyer left for Brown several years ago, I'm told that the reason for the move was monitary. But with Adrienne Martin leaving, I don't know. It just seems like they've lost several people recently, so they need a bunch of good hires. But, they have made one good hire, so hopefully that will help. I"ll be asking them about that this week. There is also a "very reasonable chance" that I will be admitted to Wisconsin, so at least I have options (hopefully!)...

How did you know that there is a "very reasonable chance" that you will get off the waitlist at Wisconsin? (PM too)

Non_TradPhilosopher Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Can anyone claim Marquette? Any information about how many they're admitting etc?

humean_skeptic Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 If I've received an offer, then I should post on the Acceptance Thread on TGC. Well, that conditional is true, since the antecedent is false humean_skeptic and philosopheme 2

AnxiousAndy Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 I received an unfunded offer from Marquette today. I have no idea how many they admit.
SamStone Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Finally heard back from UW-Milwaukee...was accepted! really excited to hear about the possibility of funding. I'm not sure how much they give or typically offer, but I am supposedly on a "short waiting list" for it! first real acceptance so far...so this comes as a relief! (not to mention it was a top choice!) Edited March 18, 2014 by Muska11 philadam, PRising and Structural_Realist 3

Leaning towards MIT philosophy and Yale Law. USC is an interesting option, given my interests in metaethics and the philosophy of language. Harvard Law would be geographically convenient if I chose MIT philosophy, but Harvard seems to produce mostly corporate lawyers, and that's obviously not my intended career path. I'll have to visit some programs before making my final decision. Edited March 19, 2014 by ModalFictionalist

philosophe Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Accepted to Tulane, second on waitlist for funding (response to an email inquiry). Does anyone know what the deal is with that program? Since they're unranked I have limited info re: reputation
