FILOS Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Another longtime lurker. I'll claim the Pitt waitlist. behindclosedoors 1
jjb919 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Just got a waitlist notification from Fordham! Generic email to check the website. The letter in the portal included "I am writing to inform you that although the department is unable to offer you admission to the PhD in Philosophy at this time, you are a finalist on a select wait list for admission." I was sure I was rejected, this is so exciting!

I was on the phone and reading my email and I had to tell the person to hold because I couldn't immediately figure out if I was waitlisted or rejected.

Mostly, the fact that NYC is the greatest place ever.

Others were notified that they were near the top; I, sadly wasn't. Though, apparently, the waitlist is smaller than years past.

(p.s. sorry about the weird double quoting thing, I'm not sure how it happened or how to undo it) Expand
