Philosophy Graduate School Admission Results

Email response to email inquiry. Letters forthcoming for the rejections.

What a great feeling. I love life.

Somewhat personalized email. No info for other applicants (how many accepted, if there is a wait-list, if all the acceptances are out, etc).

Let's remember that there's more to life than philosophy. To the poster below, please treat yourself to something pleasurable. See a sunset, take a walk, call up an old friend...anything to keep hope alive.

Funding "very unlikely".

This means that I'm 0/17. I hate this world. Sometimes, cutting myself is the only thing that makes the pain go away. Since this was the last school I had to hear from, there's really no point in going on. Why apply next year? I'll just get rejected again. So tonight, or maybe the next night, I'm going to take my whole bottle of Adderall and wait for the darkness to come.

Without funding.

they offered funding, but no specifics.

I was told by the Office of Graduate Admissions that the first round of rejections have gone out and that if I haven't heard anything that is probably a good thing. However, as someone posted before, they do not plan to send out the next round of notifications until mid-April or early May.

I received an email from NSSR advising me to look at alternative funding options and to fill out a FAFSA. Did all the other applicants get this too?

Happy to get in--but no funding.

Very nice e-mail from Patty Blanchette.
