wakeupright Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Rejected off the wait list at Oregon. Sad day. How did you find out? Personalized email?
pearclick Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Form email from Scott Pratt. I think it was the same email they sent for the first-round rejections because it never acknowledged that I had been on a waitlist.
wakeupright Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Form email from Scott Pratt. I think it was the same email they sent for the first-round rejections because it never acknowledged that I had been on a waitlist. Sorry to hear that. One day you'll make it out of NOVA, I promise. pearclick 1
pearclick Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Sorry to hear that. One day you'll make it out of NOVA, I promise. I'm a little south of NOVA, thankfully. These rejections would be a lot more depressing if I were getting them in Fairfax.
wakeupright Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I used to live in DC so I'm generally hostile to NOVA. But I am not white, so SOVA is generally hostile to me.
pearclick Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I don't go to school there, but I grew up in Virginia Beach, which is a nice blend of NOVA and SOVA attitudes. Traffic is better, and we're not as racist as the western half of the state!
pearclick Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Good news! Scott Pratt just emailed me. The form rejection was an error, and I'm still on the waitlist. wandajune, Hypatience, Cottagecheeseman and 2 others 5
wakeupright Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Good news! Scott Pratt just emailed me. The form rejection was an error, and I'm still on the waitlist. Awesome. And just like Virginia Beach is the fence between two worlds (SOVA and NOVA) on which you sit, so too is the wait-list on which you find yourself. It's worthy to remember that sitting on the fence all day will make your arse hurt. pearclick and philstudent1991 2

Monadology Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 My girlfriend was just wait-listed at UCR, will post in this thread again if she ends up turning it down. Hypatience 1
MattDest Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 What if you get an offer from Rutgers? I'd be very shocked and honored, but I'd turn it down. Too many good reasons to go to Arizona. You know this, Facebook friend! Wait For It... and humean_skeptic 2
MattDest Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 My girlfriend was just wait-listed at UCR, will post in this thread again if she ends up turning it down. So interested to hear what happens with your two-body problem!

Wait For It... Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) Waitlisted at UCR - will be turning it down shortly. Good luck to others on it! No word yet from UCR to me. I guess that means I'm out, even though the website still says my application is "being processed." Has anyone else removed themselves from the wait-list? MattDest: does your account still say "being processed?" Congratulations on Arizona, by the way! I bet it feels nice to know where you're going already! Edited March 4, 2014 by Wait For It...
ta_pros_to_telos Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 So interested to hear what happens with your two-body problem! Matt, your gf seems to be killing it! Congrats to her! Also claiming a UCR wait list. Anyone know more details?

That's Monadology's girlfriend, but I agree that she is killing it. The e-mail I got was light on details. Edited March 4, 2014 by MattDest
ta_pros_to_telos Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Whoops, sorry, read quickly, and then quoted the wrong post. Congrats to Monadology's girlfriend as well as to you, Matt. Are we expecting a Stanford wait list at some point? I highly doubt I would make it, but I'm curious.
Differance Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Removed myself from Fordham's waitlist today. Hope this helps some people out!
Mavngoose1 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Hey all - I declined my acceptance from Arizona today, so hopefully this helps someone here out. Pheminism and Structural_Realist 2
humean_skeptic Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Hey all - I declined my acceptance from Arizona today, so hopefully this helps someone here out. I'm out of up votes, but thank you!
Glasperlenspieler Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Also claiming a UCR wait list. Anyone know more details? I emailed Mark Wrathall back. He said that its an unranked wait list, and they try to keep things balanced out in term of interests, so if a spot opens up for someone with your interests, then you get admitted. So what are the AOI's of the people on the wait-list or who have been accepted? I'm kind of broad with German philosophy, ethics, phil religion, and aesthetics.
Monadology Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I've been accepted at UCR, my AoIs are Agency, 19th & 20th Century Continental and phil of language.
AcademicX Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I just took myself off the DePaul waitlist. I will be also declining Fordham's offer soon. Hope this helps those that are in the waitlist(s). While it was easy to decline a spot in a waitlist, I find it a lot harder to write to Fordham and tell them I will decline their offer of admission. Any advise on how to decline an offer in a nice way?
