philosophe Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 February 27th, 2014: The TGC Yale massacre. I didn't even apply to Yale and I got rejected.

DHumeDominates Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well, those are you words. I wouldn't have put it that way. But yeah, that's basically right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zblaesi Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) We all secretly hate DHumeDominates. Just a little. (Along with that guy who got accepted to all top 10 programs.) Edited February 28, 2014 by zblaesi Mavngoose1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianfaircloud Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Rejected from UCSD. Don't care. lol Your grad students would be lucky to TA for me. I'm going to Harvard Fucking University. Gee, DHumeDominates. That was a little harsh!! You should tell people, in every situation, that you are going to "HFU." That's "Harvard Fucking University."

PhD applicant Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I was just reading through pages and pages of old postings to see what dates were likely for some of the remaining schools. Saw someone that got rejected from Princeton say they were bummed because Princeton was their "safety school" ?? I had to laugh.

Weltgeist Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 so the Chicago rejections and MAPH acceptances are rolling out. I just got one; nein danke. AcademicX and bar_scene_gambler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar_scene_gambler Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) so the Chicago rejections and MAPH acceptances are rolling out. I just got one; nein danke. Same here lol. Such a waste of time. does anyone NOT get in the MAPH? Of course not! How would the university get money if they didn't suck desperate philosophy students dry? "but our admissions committee found your file strong enough to recommend you for admission to the Master of Arts Program in the Humanities."I'm sure they did.

Weltgeist Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'd be curious to meet someone who actually went through with the program. anyways I just turned down the offer - I wouldn't take it even if I didn't have PhD programs willing to give me money but since I do I really relished it.

I'll just go back to my corner and cry sob sob. i mean i didn't mean to brag - mostly I wanted to express my profound disdain for the whole MAPH affair - being what a cash-cow it is, the automatic acceptance deal strikes me as really unprofessional or at least strange coming from a department I respect as much as Chicago. roast beef and TheVineyard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay. I wasn't serious anyways. I've mostly accepted the fact that I'll need to reapply and I'm working out how to improve my application for next time. It is totally unprofessional though. It's not exclusively done in philosophy though, so I wouldn't let it bother you too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone I went to undergrad with did it. He was basically the most pretentious person I've ever met. So maybe only self important assholes go there?
