Email from chair of graduate admissions this morning.

GPA grad

Generic email. Expected, not a good fit.

Very cordial e-mail. Over the moon. Good luck to all.

Disappointed, as this was probably my top pick. GPA grad.

Received a rejection email 0a/1r/0wl/8nr

Generic email. First rejection. Been accepted places I prefer so doesn't feel too bad. Was a good fit though, so maybe goes to show there's an element of randomness in all this.

Generic email. Not even upset, as I have learned they've moved away from traditional continental studies and moved into Biopower, Feminist Philosophy, and Social Justice and Activism fields. Better off without those t**ts

Also received fellowship nomination

"I regret to say that the committee has decided not to extend you an offer of admission to our doctoral program." but "the committee did agree that you'd be an excellent candidate for our MA in philosophy" and "If you are interested, I'd be pleased to make an offer of admission to our MA immediately, and would be in touch with further details of our offer in due course."

Had an interview as a "finalist" last week via skype, they mostly wanted to know what other schools I applied to and were surprised by my selectivity. I wonder if that impacted the decision or what even the purpose of the interview was.
