Acceptance Thread

[Kingoftherats]

Weekends are making me sad 

 

But congrats to those Penn and Oklahoma admits!!

[Electric Anxiety]

Congrats @alaskanbullworm!! I received an email that I'm on the wait list and that alone made me swell up inside haha. Just not being shut out means so much. 

[goss]

Anyone have any information on U. of Rochester? I see there were two acceptances by phone call in the past couple days on the results page, and the PhilosophyAdmissions Wordpress blog said that they were sent out on February 10th. What should I be expecting if I have not heard anything yet? (the online application portal says my application is under review)

Anyone want to claim the New Mexico acceptance?

I second that Q. (Wasn't expecting UPenn acceptances for a good while yet...be great if they're early.)

It's only 2 days early.

This is about the same time Penn notifications went out last year.

Aye.

I have unwarranted (and unprecedented) hope that the department has, unbeknownst to me, submitted my results on the Grad Cafe's database on my behalf and will notify me later in the manner stated. It would certainly be a favorable situation given that I did not hear anything from them and I would much desire to have such an offer.

In at Georgetown! After being totally shut out last year, an offer feels good.

Whoa, can it be true? Did Madison send another acceptance *today*? If anyone has any information about this, please share.

Not sure. I'm one of the earlier acceptances. I did however just get a personalized e-mail from Elliott Sober. He says he'd be happy to work with me, and that Shafer-Landau's work (who is returning to Madison) seems like it would be "right up your alley."

Well-placed gif right here. Well done. 

 

But also that's awesome.

...a vanderbilt notification? (why does it say notified/posted Feb 14?)

I'm relatively new to this website, but I have noticed that too on other days. I think the default time zone for the website must just be somewhere in Europe or something.

I think that the poster was from somewhere in Asia (under "status" the poster listed I for international), rather than gradcafe's default time zone being in Europe.

That would make way more sense. Thanks!

Australia is the most likely choice. Lots of us applying to US grad programs.

Thanks! I "appropriated" it from a popular Twitter account, which, if you've never looked at before, you definitely should!

Can anyone confirm the BC acceptance on 2/7/17 listed in results? Any more info?

[akraticfanatic]

Also wow, who got into Harvard?! Congrats! Mind sharing your stats? 

[Forallex]

Are we up and running again!? Praise the admissions gods.

[goss]

I was accepted into the Northern Illinois MA program! So exciting to be on the board! I will hear about funding next week which would make the offer WAY more appealing of course. Such a huge relief.
