2016 Acceptance Thread

[panpsychist]

Well, someone might as well start it, and that person might as well be me, since there is already an offer made from Ohio State, apparently. 

[jacbarcan]

That's so exciting! I'm guessing the offer is legitimate since my prediction is only 5 days off. 

If people want to start bragging about their acceptances here or in a private message, then I can start confirming offers and posting them up on the blog.

Congratulations to those accepted.

I, too, would like to congratulate our anonymous admit(s).

Congrats Panpsychist!

 

Has anyone heard from Oxford? 

[dgswaim]

Someone posted an FSU acceptance. Anyone claiming? I'd be interested in anymore details.

[jacbarcan]

@7-11 Coffee I was wondering about your rejections to MIT, Stanford, and Caltech. Are those for Philosophy PhD programs?

I'm interested in hearing about FSU also. The data isn't so great, but it seems pretty early for them. 

[MentalEngineer]

FSU was mine. According to the grad school website, yesterday was the deadline for the department to submit fellowship nominations, so I'd think anyone with a shot at a fellowship should have heard from them.

[jacbarcan]

Congratulations. That's awesome.

Oxford may yet be a few weeks, seeing as their deadline was Jan. 8th, and they said to allow 8-10 weeks to hear back. But ya know, maybe that's just for rejections, and acceptances hear sooner?

[dgswaim]

FSU: I am single and looking.

[MentalEngineer]

There may yet be hope; I don't know that acceptances without fellowship nominations have gone out yet.

Admitted at *The* Ohio State University. Elated. Go Buckeyes.

Awesome! Still hate Urban Meyer, though.

I would be freaking the f*** out if I were that Michigan interview. Are interviews common?

Interviews are not common. Note that the Michigan posts are for Classics/Ancient, not Philosophy proper.

Ah okay, didn't notice that when I saw the post earlier.

I suspect whoever did get the interview might be reading this and shaking their fist indignantly at their screen.

Some acceptances for Northwestern went out today too!

Could you tell me a little more? Do you know if there were phone calls or emails?

[StFrancisXavier]

Email I believe.  One of my friends from my MA told me today that she got an offer.  I'm afraid I don't have more details than that. 

[philosophe]

Wait listed for Northwestern! This gives cred to acceptances being sent out yesterday/today.

Mine was an email from Baron Reed. Notably, my app portal has not posted a decision yet.

[abisch]

I've been accepted into Texas Tech's MA program. I'm so excited. Even if every other school shuts me out, I now have this fantastic offer that I couldn't be happier about. 

[MVSCZAR]

Just got accepted to the PhD program at Stony Brook via email. 

[dgswaim]

Someone posted a Interview for Notre Dame HPS. It was not me. Time keeps ticking away and away, and still no email for an interview. Pretty disappointing. This is my dream program.
