arageniues Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I'm second on the waitlist for funding at my top school, but might not know if I'll receive the funding until after the 15th. So, I'm not sure whether to accept the offer from my second choice. Does anyone know how to go about handling this?

If not, I would tell them. They should understand that you need to make a decision and do their best to give you as much information as they can as quickly as they can. If they don't, that ought to be valuable information in making your choice. Duns Eith and arageniues 2
SamStone Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 WOW! just offered a spot at Riverside... I hadn't previously been notified that I was waitlisted! Ibycus, Duns Eith, Naruto and 1 other 4

They've been good with giving frequent updates, but I assume they have to wait until those with funded offers accept/decline (or until the deadline passes)? That's why I'm a bit confused as to what to do
RumHaven Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Just got the offer from USC! I will be declining the Oxford BPhil offer. isostheneia, Ibycus and Naruto 3

Electric Anxiety Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Just got accepted off the waitlist at the University of Oklahoma yesterday! It seems like most people are done, but I'm just getting started haha. University of Utah is still working through their lists for instance. But the Oklahoma offer is funded with the normal benefits so I'm beyond excited! isostheneia, Nichi, woolfian and 1 other 4
woolfian Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 I visited Oklahoma, and really liked it! The people there are incredibly nice. I also grew up in that area, so feel free to PM me if you have questions about lifestyle and cost of living!

Electric Anxiety Posted April 18, 2017 Posted April 18, 2017 @Nichi Thank you!! @woolfianThese words really relieve some anxiety, so thank you for sharing your thought so. I will most definitely pm you in a few days as I have tons of questions. It would mean the world to me to have someone to give me advice. Thank you for offering to help! @Duns EithThank you, and thank the person you know for me haha! I am 99.8% sure I am taking the offer, and very soon.
ThisMightEndBadly Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 Anyone else heading to Amsterdam in September?
Duns Eith Posted May 18, 2017 Author Posted May 18, 2017 I have seen the results page and I have two friends who each got offers in the last week or so. This seems crazy late to me.
Nichi Posted May 24, 2017 Posted May 24, 2017 Not for a Philosophy PhD program, but I've seen someone accepted by a school as late as a month before the start date.

Not for philosophy either, but my daughter got admitted to a political science program 2 days before classes started.
