Cecinestpasunphilosophe Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Very happy for you! When did you hear? A couple hours ago - they sent me an email telling me to check the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hcarp Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Was it from a .edu address? EDIT: was it from aN .edu address? And if he says yes, then you're going to ask "How do you know that you weren't dreaming, or being deceived by a malicious demon?" Am I right? jjb919 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isostheneia Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yes but I also wanted an answer to my other question about whether admitted applicants are supposed to receive notification of their admittance. I have been admitted (or so I've come to believe) but I haven't yet received any kind of official or unofficial notification. I'm wondering what standard/best practices are here. Best, NS P.S. I have done work on Descartes: https://sciencedefeated.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/lessons-from-17th-century-optics/ I'm confused why you think you've been admitted if you've received no notification of the fact that you've been admitted. flybottle, sidevans, LetsGetMetaphysical and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't let the lack of notification throw you off. Nikolay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isostheneia Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well, here's the thing. I'm excited to go to UNC (to study phil biology mainly). I'll be attending in the fall. But the problem is that I haven't yet received any official or unofficial notification? I hope this (and my post on Descartes) clears up the point.... Best practices, NS UNC has already released acceptances, so if you haven't heard anything, I don't think you got in, unfortunately. In fact, I'm a bit surprised that you haven't heard anything - they've even sent out some rejections as well. I'm still confused. What do you mean by "I'll be attending in the fall"? Don't you have to be admitted to attend? Did you apply to their PhD program? Nikolay, flybottle, LetsGetMetaphysical and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb919 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Does anyone else share my suspicion that Nikolay and LetsGetMetaphysical are the same person with two accounts trying (unsuccessfully) to boost agreement with Nikolay's posts?

MissingBlue Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Could we have a clear answer on how you know you've been accepted without being notified in any way of said acceptance? What is going on? Matt Bauer, Nikolay and jeremy_13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy_13 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 On what basis do you believe yourself to be attending UNC in the fall? jeremy_13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingBlue Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 THAT is not my question. My question is that, GIVEN that I'm attending in the fall, why haven't I received official or unofficial notification? EDIT: voted you up though because i appreciate the opportunity to clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetMetaphysical Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think the confusion here results from rampant equivocation regarding the meaning of "notification." I've been told, I just haven't been notified. Nikolay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingBlue Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 MY question is how you can claim that you are attending if no one at the school has given you an indication of your admittance. What justifies your claim?? Nastasya_Filippovna and jjb919 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isostheneia Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Guys, it might be best if we stop feeding the troll and keep this thread for its original purpose - announcing acceptances and congratulating each other on them.

Mindreading Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Can I ask a quick question? A program asked me to contact them via skype. Is there any proper etiquette for this that I should be aware of? Should I prepare anything? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindreading Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You may. I wouldn't expect them to put you on the spot. Maybe just review your particular reasons for wanting to go to that program, I think that would be enough. Thanks so much. I just want to make sure I don't miss the mark on something here.

Eigen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Just posting to stem speculation: Unless they're going to inordinate effort, Nicolay and LetsGetMetaPhysical aren't the same person. Also, if you don't like the way someone is taking a discussion, you don't have to respond. As much as any of you may dislike it, on an open discussion board, you don't get to dictate what can and cannot be discussed in a thread, or get upset that people, in a virtual conversation, are going off topic. If something is seriously over the line, report it and we'll look into it. Ritwik and Matt Bauer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
