Acceptances will be MAILED OUT by the end of the week. Sigh -- snail mail again? Wait you called brown and they're mailing them?

AnotherKantFan Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks so much! I'm sure they meant emailed out. Also, I'm in Europe so I'm sure they won't just send me a traditional letter.

anthrostudentcyn Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Also this may be one that no one else is interested in, but Toronto History and Philosophy of Science? I'm interested to know if they're even taking international students this year.
jacbarcan Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Dont know if this has been said yet, but I would appreciate a general Toronto call since I'm not too sure about it.
Nat_Foot Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 Happy to contact Toronto, Oregon, and New Mexico tomorrow. offyerhst and TheJabberwock 2

brekekexkoax Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'm wondering the same thing about McGill regarding international students...
anthrostudentcyn Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 @Nat_Foot Would you be able to contact Toronto History and Philosophy of Science in addition to general philosophy?
blacklake Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 In case anyone is wondering about DePaul: first wave of interviews are going on this week, but they will most likely do another wave after this one (with people who haven't been contacted at all yet). My prof also told me that someone at a school I applied to actually called them to ask about me. I had no idea they do that! Also, regarding Chicago Social Thought, someone posted this on the results board: "wrote an email to admissions those waiting for PhD Social Sciences. Here's their response: "All applications are currently in final review;Official notification of decisions are made after the review of all applications and usually begins the last week of February or first week of March. All official decisions are sent by email" THE WAIT IS TORTURE!! :("

philstudent1991 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Has anyone called Penn to confirm that all offers and WL are out?
Nat_Foot Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 New Mexico: Secretary was very uninformative: "It might be a couple of months." I asked, "within the next month?" And she said, "Yeah... it might be longer than that." That seems very implausible to me, so we might want to contact the DGS. I noticed one acceptance listed for Feb 10. Oregon: I emailed the DGS about whether all acceptances & WL have gone out. Will get back to you soon. Social Thought: You'll get an email within the next couple of weeks. offyerhst 1

I also now realize my life is like Kafka's Trial.. I'm here waiting for the results of my plea, from a jury that I can't ever see, with laws that I'm not allowed to know..

Nat_Foot Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 U Toronto (Philosophy): General admissions have not been released yet, and they will not be released until the end of February. I asked if any had been released, and she said a few, possibly, if there were special circumstances but none for general admissions yet. Also asked about international: they always have a quota of how many visa students they accept (and there's a limited number of those they can accept, of course). So you can assume there will be a few international students accepted. Sorry, but I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to contact the Toronto History & Phil of Science program or any other schools. I'm a bit busier today than expected.. If there are any other requests, let me know and I'll get to them tomorrow. Alternatively, if someone wants to fill in for me for the rest of the day and post the results, that'd be welcome too.

HI Nat, I'd love it if you could ask McGill the same question about whether they're accepting international students. they didn't accept any last year... thank you!

Thanks, Nat! To use my local parlance, you're a legend, mate!
philstudent1991 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 I'd be curious to know if Penn is done, and when UConn is expecting to start (since they are so much later than last year).
jjb919 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Hey @Nat_Foot, I'd be interested to know what Georgetown's timeline is. I know the prediction is for them to release this week (probably Friday), but it would be nice to get some measure of confidence on that, however vague. Thanks for all your hard work!
Nat_Foot Posted February 17, 2016 Author Posted February 17, 2016 On the table for tomorrow are: Toronto History & Phil of Science McGill - international students; admissions decisions Penn U Conn Georgetown majorshake, philstudent1991 and machineghost 3

Naruto Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Did any other WUSTL applicants not hear back from them yet? I'll shoot them an email if I don't get anything by the end of the day.
