Thanks for the info! I guess now my question is: Boston College (MA) and Georgia State University, any claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was waitlisted last year and I was really hoping for some good news from them this year. Do you know if they reached out to all of those they accepted? I'm honestly not sure; nothing in the letter gave any indication either way. Sorry I can't be more helpful, and the very best of luck to you!

I don't know if you have worked with David Rondel at Reno, but I am pretty sure he was a student of Barry Allen's at McMaster, who was also a student of Rorty's. Your Rorty roots may run even deeper than you think! Actually, yes! David Rondel is on my thesis committee. I didn't realize Allen was Rory's student. @MVSCZAR yours is way cooler than mine. But being so few removes from The Martin Heidegger also means you can't be trusted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems likely considering there are no other posts, but we are also the only two who seem to have applied to USF on the forum, so who knows!

Pretty sure my sample is complete garbage. Don't lose heart! You can't know for sure until you've heard back from everywhere -- and even then it could be a problem of fit! I'm thinking UNC rejected me, and in convinced it is because two of the professors I said I'd like to work with in my SOP are really good and might be planning on leaving UNC in the next couple of years. You can't plan on stuff like that, the known and unknown unknowns.

Kel Varnsen Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 7 hours ago, dgswaim said: Anyone claiming UMD? Hi, I'm claiming one of the UMD posts. I'm currently debating between UMD and Indiana. UMD is a bit lower ranked overall but they have a stronger program in my area of interest (mind and cognitive science). If anyone has any thoughts on choosing between overall stronger programs and programs with strong specialties, I'd be interested in your input.
