thehegeldialectic Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Did the person wait listed for Loyola-Chicago receive this: " We wanted to update you on your application to the Philosophy PhD program for the 2016 Fall Semester. The committee is still in the process of reviewing applications and making decisions." etc. Or did they receive something specifically stating they were on the wait list?

jacbarcan Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Not that I was the one who received the wait list, but I can't imagine that they would post a wait list with just that email. Hopefully they respond though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsjustsemantics Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Claiming a waitlist from FSU (PhD) (e-mail last night around 9:30pm EST). No mention of how big it is, but from the looks of previous years it was 6 (not true, I must have looked up the wrong program).

Thanks, Hi, I can claim this. I first got a personal email from the grad program director telling me I'm on the wait list for admission and funding (I did not inquire about rank), then an automated email telling me to log in to the application system to view the decision letter (the letter basically said the same thing as the director email). I only applied to three schools: Loyola Chicago - Philosophy (wait list), Northwestern - Philosophy: European Philosophy (rejected via email/website), and University of Chicago - Committee on Social Thought (haven't heard anything). Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
