502845824 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 just got a very nice call from Mark Murphy at Georgetown. I've been accepted there, but I will almost certainly turn this offer down, so please don't despair if you're on the waitlist. Good luck to all other Georgetown applicants, and everyone else, too. I feel like today is going to be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'm just desperately hoping I won't be shut out. I guess it all rides on my sample. My top choice is Rutgers; I may be biased because both my major advisors studied there.

Dialectica Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 @gughok: Anytime I see your name pop up as recently posting in the acceptance thread, I can't help but think it's you celebrating an acceptance. It's going to happen. gughok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frege-bombs Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Admitted at Rice. The email from the DGS described me as "a perfect fit." I suspect this is because Charles Siewert is there, who is one of my intellectual heroes. I feel very grateful at this moment. dgswaim and machineghost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisamadura Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Robert Brandom gave a lecture in my department today on Pragmatism and German Idealism. I'm not at all fluent in those areas (despite having read a considerable amount of Kant and Hegel and a tiny bit of Rorty and James) but it was an amazing experience to see him speak. For anyone going to Pitt, you're in good hands. (p.s. I realized i'm only three degrees of separation from Richard Rory. Rorty was Brandom's disseration advisor at Princeton, Brandom was Chris William's dissertation advisor at Pitt, and Williams is my professor/mentor/favorite person ever. erosopher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like it would have been a really cool lecture! 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! Edited February 20, 2016 by erosopher typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
