Eigen Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I can also say I strongly suspect that they are not trolling about their attendance at UNC in the Fall, take it for what you will. But the mood of the thread seems to be rampant down-voting, so....
riverstyx Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) How come so many of the "big" schools haven't released acceptances yet? Don't they usually release something by this time, if not earlier? Is it that they *have* released, and the applicants who were accepted just aren't posting on the gradcafe, or what?

LetsGetMetaphysical Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Serious question: Why do people still use this forum? The other one has so much more information.

I put up an official notification based on 1) the posted acceptance, 2) aduh's comment that s/he knows someone who was accepted (it's a few pages back now), and 3) the timing. I took aduh's comment to be confirmation enough, though so far we don't have anyone reporting that they were themselves accepted.

dullandwitlessboy Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I just received an email about being waitlisted at Yale. So that probably means they've sent out (at least one round of) acceptances, too. Edited February 20, 2015 by dullandwitlessboy Ritwik and Infinite Zest 2
sidevans Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 This is turning into quite an eventful day, after all! Can anyone confirm Harvard or NYU?

Yes, can we all just ignore the obvious troll. Harvard, NYU, and Yale acceptances up, but not sure if legit. GWFHegelFTW 1
Infinite Zest Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I'm doubting NYU's authenticity. dullandwitlessboy 1

The two posts came within a couple minutes, are identical, and come much earlier than NYU's previous release dates. We'll wait and see, but I'm skeptical as well.

ianfaircloud Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Big news is on its way late tonight. Stay tuned....

Help a philosopher out and spill the beans OK, I'm now privileged to say: NYU is calling people. David Chalmers called my good friend this afternoon to extend an offer of admission. My guess, based on the timing of my friend's notification (later in the day), is that NYU is not done calling people. Copied from my update on philosophyadmissions.wordpress: "A good friend of mine called me tonight to say that he was admitted to NYU in the later part of the day on Friday. The call came straight from David Chalmers. Based on the timing, I think NYU will continue to extend offers over the weekend. It’s also possible that all offers were extended today. If Chalmers calls you, it will likely be a New York City area code (as it was for my friend). Chalmers did not leave a voice message on his first attempt. (Ian Faircloud)" I can give you more information about my friend. My friend's AOIs are metaphysics and epistemology. He's quite good and has been invited to present his writing sample at a few respectable conferences. His academic pedigree is impressive. He's also a very good person with an interesting personal background. He's not from an especially privileged background but sort of worked his way to the top. Anyway, I'm thrilled for him. He deserves it. Edited February 21, 2015 by ianfaircloud a_for_aporia 1

a_for_aporia Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) I didn't apply to NYU. So I thought I'd switch things up: I just called David Chalmers. And I tried to up vote posts here, but unfortunately I have reached my daily quota of up votes. What a measly quota it is...
