lisamadura Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 For anyone in need of a pick-me-up, here ya go. I have decided to forgo the Ph.D. My new 5-year plan involves finding this man and dating him #priorities Hadeel 1
Nat_Foot Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Chalmers is not even the DGS or the Director of Graduate Admissions. http://philosophy.fas.nyu.edu/page/contactus
philstudent1991 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 He still could have been their POI....but yes, I'm starting to think they are fake as well.
currentphilgrad Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'll jump on board with wanting some evidence for Toronto and NYU. I'm 99% sure that NYU is fake, but I'm not so sure about Toronto. My only reason to be suspicious of the Toronto post is that there was only one today. Perhaps someone got a special fellowship? Anyone around to claim it?

There is was….I read: Dear xxxxx xxxxxx, Congratulations! You have been admitted to the Ph.D. Program in English at xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx. That you have been selected from among the 243 applications we received this year indicates our high opinion of your qualifications and our confidence that you will thrive in our program. We extend our warmest invitation to join our entering class for the Fall 2016 semester. I screamed so loud!!!!! Unfortunately, my honey was sleeping and jumped out of bed yelling. "What happened? What is it?" He was ready to rumble! I told him that I was accepted as I cried and shook and bounced on the bed. He was sleepily very happy for me, even more happy it wasn't an intruder I was screaming about. And get this Grad family, full funding. I was offered full funding. This is one of the most exciting days of my life. My musician husband thinks we should buy him a bass to celebrate. He says it will help keep him "supportive". I pretended like that was a problem, but he doesn't know that he's getting that bass just because he had been so supportive! So….the round of calls that I have been waiting for years to make ensued. I called my mom who screamed with joy, my brother, who told me, "You've worked hard, you've earned this!" My closest friend, my sister, my aunt who is hard of hearing, so that took longer than anticipated, to my daughter, who told me she knew it was in the bag! I sit here now, smiling, on cloud twelve! I have read so many stories of acceptances and wondered when it would be my turn. Today it is. For all those who have been rejected, don't give up. Never give up. One day, you will write your story here and I look forward to reading it. You know, this is precisely how I thought an English Ph.D.'s acceptance post would read. You guys are so much more interesting than the analytic philosophers. Hadeel, Siegfried42 and Eager 3

Yes, it is really odd...I think that's because the international applicants may receive the rejection letter earlier than others, and the decision should be made by the end of this week, as shown in DePaul's department calendar (http://las.depaul.edu/academics/philosophy/about/Documents/Calendar.pdf). Good luck with your application!

Dialectica Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) So am I correct in thinking there are more Indiana acceptances to be released??? Edited February 17, 2016 by Dialectica

Relevant excerpts of my WL letter: " The committee has now met and ranked the applicants who made the first cut in our admissions process. Due to budgetary restrictions outside our control, we aim to have only five new graduate students join us in the fall"... "we have made initial offers to several people and are now waiting to hear back from them"... "The majority of our applicants have already been rejected and have been notified of that." I would assume they're done if they're sending out WLs but nothing seems to commit them to being finished. Have you yet to hear?

GPAisgrad? Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) What does "GPA is grad" mean? Like, "my GPA is of graduate level caliber" or what? Yes, I made an account to ask this question. Edited February 17, 2016 by GPAisgrad?

Yes, I made an account to ask this question. I would assume it means that person did a masters degree and the Grad GPA is their GPA during their masters program. GPAisgrad? 1
