Nastasya_Filippovna Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Congrats to all the Toronto and UCLA acceptances! I wonder if they've finished sending out all UCLA acceptances. By the way do you think you know which way you are leaning towards with your two acceptances so far? so early in the game I know!
ianfaircloud Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'm very happy- just got accepted to Temple! Applying as an undergrad from an unknown school this is really, REALLY thrilling to have this locked in! It was an added benefit I happened to be with my family when I received the email haha!I don't know how much longer Joseph Margolis will be there- is is quite up there in age (he is brilliant- I wish there was a way to preserve him and keep him in good shape because I would love to work with him!) I know they have fabulous specialization in German Idealism, I just need to make sure the few profs they have that are analytic-oriented will be around for awhile still! I have more programs I applied to, but this was a great surprise! Congrats! I'm in Philly. I wonder how many people on this forum are living in Philly right now! It's a great place, I think.
Apathium Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Is there any chance that Virginia will spread out its acceptances over a few days, like not just today (Wednesday), but Thursday and Friday? They seem to have done that in 2014, but in 2013 there was only one acceptance notification for Virginia on one day and one waitlist notification on another day before all the rejections went out. I'm just wondering if I should give up on the school and move on to somewhere else. Hey, I'm the dude who posted the Virginia international admission. I received the admission mail almost 2 days after the first admission report here. The university doesn't send out mails yet. It is just the department members (I think the ones that are likely to mentor the admitted people OR Mrs. Barnes the chair of admissions) send out personalized e-mails. This might mean that there could be more admissions to be sent out yet. Nevertheless I wouldn't lose hope before the waitlist for this year is released. They admit a lot of people off the waitlist each year. Even I have 9 more applications pending. I hope you get in wherever you want.

flybottle Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Congrats! I'm in Philly. I wonder how many people on this forum are living in Philly right now! It's a great place, I think. Indeed! But, let's be clear: West Philly is the Best Philly. ianfaircloud 1
popsteady Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Indeed! But, let's be clear: West Philly is the Best Philly. I second that observation. flybottle 1

Their department's taken quite a few hits in the last five to ten years, with a pretty significant faculty exodus that you'll probably want to ask about.

TheNaturalist Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Accepted to Illinois-UC Congrats! I'm currently a grad student there applying out. Did they really offer you 3 full years of non-service fellowship?
ianfaircloud Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Indeed! But, let's be clear: West Philly is the Best Philly. I live in Center City, but I spend most of my working time in University City (i.e. I spend most of my time in University City). flybottle 1
PreciselyTerrified Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Congrats, all! Spring Garden is the best Philly.

Page228 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I spy a bunch of Davis acceptances and one CMU acceptance. Congrats everyone! Phil2015 1
sidevans Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Congrats to everyone who's been accepted so far. It seems like a lot of people are doing quite well. Can anyone confirm the Brown acceptance? I think it's likely legitimate (since they often release on Fridays), but I'd be more confident if there were more than one posted acceptance, or if it were confirmed. They usually release their batch of initial acceptances at once.
TheNaturalist Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Separate note, but I got a favorable R&R from a really solid journal today! a_for_aporia 1

isostheneia Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Accepted to Georgetown! I'm incredibly happy. This is amazing. I'm going to grad school! Griswald, Cecinestpasunphilosophe, philstudent1991 and 12 others 15
jjb919 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Accepted to Georgetown! I'm incredibly happy. This is amazing. I'm going to grad school! Congrats!!! That must feel incredible! I've heard from several sources that students at Georgetown are very happy there. isostheneia 1

They usually release their batch of initial acceptances at once. I can't confirm any of the acceptances posted on grad cafe, but I know someone who doesn't follow the online results and has been admitted to Brown this year, so they have definitely started sending out offers.
isostheneia Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Congrats!!! That must feel incredible! I've heard from several sources that students at Georgetown are very happy there. Many thanks. I've heard that as well. And as a side note, I got an acceptance from UCSD half an hour later. So... today is a good day. GWFHegelFTW, flybottle, Monadology and 2 others 5

reixis Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Congrats everyone! Is it reasonable to expect acceptances to go out on a saturday? I was really expecting to hear from at least one of my schools by today.
TheNaturalist Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Congrats! Which journal? Thanks! Review of Philosophy and Psychology (RoPP).
