TheVineyard Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ian I noticed you said that CUNY has given out waitlists on your notifications part of the blog. I don't think we have any reason to believe that is so. There was that one post: CUNY Philosophy, PhD (S14) Wait listed via Other on 1 Mar 2014 1 Mar 2014 For those of you who have posted that you got accepted to CUNY, are any of you female students with better offers (waiting on better offers?) I don't think this is someone report ing that they are on a waitlist, but someone asking a question. Last year they didn't give out waitlists until later, nor the year before... With only one person even posting a waitlistish-thing and nobody on the forums claiming it, I would think that it wouldn't match the standard you find necessary.

Hypatience Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I think that accepting but wait-listing for monetary support is CUNY's version of the wait list. Edited March 5, 2014 by Hypatience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypatience Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Or anyway, once I figured out that was the case, it seemed that I was definitely wait listed. If I had read the initial e-mail more closely, I would have first logged my acceptance as a wait list, because that's what further correspondence revealed it to effectively be. But maybe they keep another wait list, too, below that one? It seems possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerpetualApplicant No More Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 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. I am in at UCR; my interests are (empirical perspectives on) mind, psychology and psychiatry, and moral psychology/agency. At this point, UCR is my only offer and seems like a great fit; I will therefore likely be accepthing the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta_pros_to_telos Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I emailed Mark Wrathall back.

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. Thanks, I emailed Mark Wrathall too, and heard pretty much the same thing. My AoI's are action theory (which is why I applied to UCR), ethics, and philosophy of law.

Hypatience Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have declined University of Arizona and UCSD, and I just withdrew from University of Toronto's wait list. Good luck, all -- I sincerely hope this makes good things happen for others here. Cottagecheeseman, Mavngoose1 and Structural_Realist 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platonist Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Thanks for all you guys who denied the acceptances that you will not take in a timely manner. Hope everyone would do this to help out those poor souls and help to alleviate the April 15 disaster. wakeupright and Hilbert's timequake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILSTUDENT22 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 You're turning down Indiana for Syracuse/SLU? What is your AOI? fundamental metaphysics. In addition to having Heller, McDaniel, and Gallois, Syracuse has a grant program at Cornell that allows students to take one class per semester (opens the door to ted sider, karen bennett, derk pereboom) and SLU is getting Jason Turner from Leeds. O'Connor is really the only person I'd want to work with at Indiana. Hypatience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdoulato Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Have you been waitlisted? I am not sure if CUNY officailly contacted the waitlisted people yet, but through bugging people I found out that I am on an unordered waitlist of 20. They also specified that they will try to keep the ratio of male/female offers identical to the one currently in place for the 10 offeres they did send out. So I am wondering if any female students (specializing in mind) are ready to jump ship to NYU, Rutgers, or Princeton or whatever other fancy place that has just emailed out offers. mdoulato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monadology Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 She is so considerate! Folks on the wait lists will surely appreciate her. I bet she is a moral philosopher. Well, she is interested in applied ethics Tell her thanks! And that it sucks that you didn't both get into Riverside. Will do. Actually, since she has an offer at UCSD, we're not too bothered about that. AcademicX and PerpetualApplicant No More 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platonist Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Well, she is interested in applied ethics Right, applied ethics falls under the broader heading of moral philosophy. Doing ethics perhaps has strengthened her considerateness. Yes, say thanks to her for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdoulato Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 ]I fit the description above and declined my offer two days ago. Are you sure you are a mind person and not a language person?? Two days ago?? That makes me very anxious since i have not heard anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdoulato Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was told that only one person declined so far and that person was a language person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
