Offer, for what I know, 2013 fall IST has about 165 applicants.

when so many people are clamoring to study with len lawlor (admittedly, he's got nice hair), you know american philosophy is in a bad way. congrats to those who are gonna live in state college for the next decade!

Actually had another offer and emailed dept chair on 2/23/13 for update. Within an hour he replied w/ a very polite email of rejection. I think I got the snail-mail letter of rejection finally on about 3/1/13.

To the guy whow asked: I am from Peking Univ. China.Poor GT, gpa rank 1/48, 11 papers(6 first author; 9 sci, 2 ei). I got interviewed by two professors many times from Feb. and they all wanted to give me offer, and they discussed and decided to co-advise me. with ta, 17000/year, and summer position, 4900. totally nearly 22000/year. the professors decide everything, the committee has no power, so please connect the prof. directly.

Email notifying me of rejection. Did however offer to transfer my application for free to the M.A. program at Penn State Harrisburg. Hmm, they obviously didn't look too closely at my application because I'M IN THAT MASTERS PROGRAM!

Email from POI, notifying the person who got the offer accepted it :(
