| UC RIVERSIDE | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 15 Apr 2021 | 15 Apr 2021 | Congrats to those accepted! If you are considering rejecting or accepting your offer at UCR for another program, I would be very grateful if you do it earlier today rather than later. I'd love to be at this school (as I'm sure you might be feeling the same way!) and would be so thankful to get closure. Cheers! | |
| University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | A | 14 Apr 2021 | Told I was "near the very top of the waitlist" and 2 more students needed to decline before they moved to the waitlist. I turned down the (potential) spot |
| Georgia State University | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | A | 14 Apr 2021 | Accepted off waitlist, declined offer |

A | 14 Apr 2021 | Accepted off the waitlist. I have accepted their offer and taken my name off other schools' waitlists. Good luck to everyone else. :) |
| UC Santa Barbara | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | 14 Apr 2021 | Rejected off the waitlist; was previously told I was "near the top of their waitlist." Looks like they won't need to go to their waitlist this year. | |
| University Of Miami | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.90 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/0/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
A | 14 Apr 2021 | I will be accepting their offer. I am on another waitlist at a school slightly higher ranked, but I prefer Miami. Good luck to you. |
| University Of Miami | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | A | 14 Apr 2021 | To the person below, are you going to accept the offer from Miami? Do you think there is a chance you will decline it because you have (potentially) some better offers to come. In other words, are you on other waitlists that you rank higher than Miami? |
| Simon Fraser University | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 17 Feb 2021 | I | 14 Apr 2021 | To anyone who plans to accept another offer: I would be really really grateful if you’d decline this one or withdraw from the WL soon. I know that making such a decision requires a lot of careful deliberation, so I understand why some of you might be hesitant to do it just yet. However, I’ve been told that the waitlist for SFU has been moving relatively slow this year — which causes a lot of anxiety for those of us still in limbo (especially the ones for whom this place is the only option). I wish all of you the best of luck! |

A | 14 Apr 2021 | Accepted off waitlist. First offer. Thrilled beyond belief. This was real torture. Good luck to everyone waiting to hear. This process was torture. |
| Several | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | 14 Apr 2021 | Why are waitlists not moving? Will we all only hear back on April 15th at 11:58pm? This process is so cruel. And you know why? It's because people are not letting go of multiple offers, and prefer to make everyone else suffer. Well, I'm glad you guys have done so well, but I also hope you suffer sometime later in your life too. | |
| University Of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Interview via Postal Service on 14 Apr 2021 | A | 14 Apr 2021 | HAS ANYONE BEEN REJECTED FROM UCLA? |
| Stanford University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 14 Apr 2021 | 14 Apr 2021 | sending much love to everyone in limbo rn! hang in there, it's nearly over! | |
| Tulane University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 Undergrad GPA: n/a GRE General (V/Q/W): 166/160/6.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
A | 14 Apr 2021 | Undergraduate major GPA: 3.7, Graduate GPA: 4.0 (MA, Philosophy) Accepted off the waitlist. I'm still waiting on one more possibility. |
| Texas Tech University | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | I | 14 Apr 2021 | Though Prof. Nathan told me by email that I had only 'very slim chance' to be admitted, official waitlist was given. If you have worries to decide whether to go there, please do me a kind to decline it, for I really need this offer to get formal training in analytic philosophy. You must have a better place to go! |
| Several Universities | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 14 Apr 2021 | I | 14 Apr 2021 | To the Yale commenter below: Much appreciated! Thank you for comment. I am waitlisted for 3 schools -- please keep it moving people! |
| City University Of New York (CUNY) | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 | I | 13 Apr 2021 | IGNORE WAITLIST: Does anyone know when one should expect results for the MA at CUNY> The deadline is tomorrow which seems super late |
| Yale University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 13 Apr 2021 | 13 Apr 2021 | Important news for those still waiting to hear on waitlists: in these instances, no news is often good news. 99% of the time, programs will notify you in some way if they do not think they will be able to accept you. If you have not yet been rejected off of the waitlist, there is a chance you may be admitted, probably on the 15th (this applies especially if you have been waitlisted at a ~PGR-25 program and up). The 15th is ALWAYS a sh**show, maybe more so this year due to the pandemic. ALSO NOTE: if you have not contacted the DGS at the program where you have been waitlisted, now is a very good time to do so (be polite, but ask about your chances and when you can expect to hear back). | |
| Tulane University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 | A | 13 Apr 2021 | Accepted off the wait-list |
| Harvard University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 | 13 Apr 2021 | Ah yes, I am also a baby. But luckily the doctor smacked enough understanding on my ass that I don't ask like an asshole. | |
| Tufts University | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 5 Mar 2021 | A | 13 Apr 2021 | Hi all! I was waitlisted last month. At this point, Tufts is my last chance to get into a program this cycle. If you have been offered a place but do not plan on accepting your Tufts offer, please notify them sooner rather than later. Thank you! |
| Stanford University | Philosophy, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 | A | 13 Apr 2021 | hi all -- this is a long shot, but if anyone else is thinking about declining stanford, I would really really appreciate it! stanford is my dream program that fits perfectly with my interests. none of the other programs I've been admitted/waitlisted at have faculty working in my interests at the intersection of epistemology, mind, language, and history of philosophy over the past hundred years, but stanford has many professors I want to work with in these areas. if I don't get into stanford this year, I'm going to have to reapply next cycle. I was also born and raised in the bay area, and going to stanford would mean that I can stay near my family and close friends, which is especially important to me during the pandemic. my mom lives alone, is in her 60's, and doesn't have any family nearby, so I want to stay close to her as long as I can. if you decline, I can't express how much I'd appreciate it! |
| University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 | I | 13 Apr 2021 | An email to notify checking the portal. Out of waitlist, intially high but not 'very high' in the later cycle. |
| University Of Wisconsin-Milwaukee | Philosophy, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 13 Apr 2021 | U | 13 Apr 2021 | Received an email saying "very high on the waitlist". Just received an email notifying status change. Portal status changed to "rejected". |
