Classic philosophers not being able to tech. In any case, that's probably why they haven't called anyone yet for the general PhD program. Best of luck to you all!!!! It's stuff like this that makes me love GradCafe. Thanks!

thehegeldialectic Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Anyone on here claiming the Villanova interview? They're my top choice and seeing that just filled me with dread.

They're my top choice and seeing that just filled me with dread. I'm claiming it. Like the other person said before, hesitatingly. It's a little bittersweet. I was looking through your blog, and I absolutely see that you deserve it too. I think it was personalized, so there's a chance that they're still sending out emails. Please don't be filled with dread.

Please don't be filled with dread. Aw, thanks! I'm glad you liked it. My thesis advisor and mentor went to Villanova, so it's been what I've wanted to do since I was a Sophomore. Walter Brogan's work on Heidegger and Aristotle was also a big influence on my honors thesis. I'm really hopeful. When'd you get the email? Edited February 19, 2016 by iunoionnis

bechkafish Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 You guys, today is BROWN DAY! I mean, maybe. Who the hell knows. I've thought every day since last Wednesday was going to be Brown Day.
AnotherKantFan Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Today is Brown day, Stanford day, and Yale day. Expecting three acceptances*!! I won't survive another weekend of waiting. *Just kidding. bechkafish, Siegfried42, AgentScully and 1 other 4
gughok Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) If Yale doesn't send out its acceptances today I will be forced to conclude that the entire graduate admissions system is conspiring to maximize the cruel suspense I'm being made to suffer; they've never, in our extensive recorded history of approximately five data points, released any later than the equivalent of today. To set a record now would be mental assault on us applicants. Still one hundred percent in the dark. Edited February 19, 2016 by gughok thing.in.itself, AnotherKantFan, LLeuven and 1 other 4
AgentScully Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Hey @gughok your stats and school list are both pretty stellar. I'm curious what your top choice is?
