reixis Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I just accepted Otago's offer. I will be moving to New Zealand next semester! I received a pretty good scholarship offer ($25,000, non taxable) annually, plus tutor opportunities that amount to approximately $6,000 each year. It's a research only degree (similar to the UK) and the offer is for three years and a half. I know the department is not ranked, but I have heard a lot of good things about them and I will have the opportunity to work with a leading figure in my area of interest who happens to teach in NZ (though not at Otago). Anyway, after carefully balancing my professional interests and my personal interests, I decided I would give it a shot. I will withdrawn my name from the places I'm waitlisted. I hope this helps someone. Also, best of luck for everyone and thank you for making this place such a friendly environment. If anyone is ever coming to NZ and needs a place to stay, feel free to shoot me a message. Atropos, jeremy_13, overoverover and 11 others 14

NZ sounds great, and has some great people (Zach Weber is a fantastic logician at Otago who is incredibly nice). reixis 1
reixis Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I just received an e-mail from the DGS at Penn telling me that I was next on the list for an offer. I told him that I accepted an offer elsewhere. Hopefully this will turn out to be an offer for someone else! notThatEddieVedder and overoverover 2
TheNaturalist Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 I've declined offers from Indiana Bloomington and UMass Amherst, and will be attending Northwestern University in the fall. a_for_aporia, isostheneia, Philperson595 and 6 others 9
isostheneia Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I've just declined my offer from UCSD. I don't think this helps anyone, since I don't think they use a waitlist. I'll either be going to Pittsburgh (if I get off their waitlist), or Georgetown. Very stressful times, but it'll be settled in roughly 24 hours. Edit_Undo, Phil2015, mano and 1 other 4
Nastasya_Filippovna Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 best of luck to you isothenia- I know that Pitt is certainly a dream school and your tension must be at peak! Everyone on these threads has been so supportive of each other and it will be so nice to see the tension and anxiety finally over for us all! isostheneia 1

Willaem Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks! Metaphysics, Mind, Language and Logic are the main areas probably.
cogsguy Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 I'm on the waitlist for CUNY and Arizona. If I get off the waitlist for CUNY, there is a good chance I will take it. If not, I've declined all acceptances except Simon Fraser University (MA) and will go there.
