Philosophy Graduate School Admission Results

Received an offer with no funding. I was told by the department and current PhD students that there is hope to get GAs from other departments (probably with tuition waivers, at least shown on their websites). However, as international students, we must submit financial proof before registration to get a visa. Tough!

Email from Umrao Sethi 3/12, official offer on portal 3/14. Funding offer 10k, can't afford to go, declined.

$11k stipend, probably going to decline 3a/2w/3r/4p

According to official statistics, the probability of receiving an offer from duke philosophy department for males is one-eighth that for females.

[Ignore Status] For those who hold offers, now is about the time you should start formally declining the outstanding offers you know you're not going to accept. Let's not wait until the last minute to make decisions. Help people move off the waitlist before April 15! You only really need to hold onto a couple of offers at your top choices. I would also urge people to accept offers ASAP given the trend of schools rescinding funding guarantees on outstanding offers. It's been a brutal admissions cycle, try your best to help out your fellow applicants who may only have a single waitlist they're praying to get off of.

Got a very nice email from Timothy S O'Keefe, with 11k$ scholarship available. Have better choices, will decline soon.

My top choice, really hoping to make it. If anyone has multiple offers and TAMU isn't the top choice please consider making room! Good luck everyone.

Email from Tim O'Keefe. Am very happy with offer, 11k TAship + tuition remission (I think it's their standard). Says everything is depending on funding threats (as is with everywhere), but school is doing fine at the moment and he doesn't think it will happen. 1a/1w/3r/0p -- am waitlisted at Brandeis, if you find yourself in an inverse situation... maybe we can work something out. jk haha... unless?

03a/02w/0r/2p

3a/2w/0r/2p accepted with GA

Ignore status — I’m on the waitlist for this program and would really like to go. Wondering if anyone who has been accepted/waitlisted will be declining their offer

accepted with fellowship 3a/0w/1r/0p (MAs only) and that’s a wrap!

Accepted with a Legal and Political Philosophy Fellowship! Stipend of $17,000.

Will decline soon.

Received the official letter through the portal, along with the financial aid letter. The scholarship amount is extremely low. Got better offers and will decline soon.

Ignore status here, but has anyone else heard from the Philosophy and Literature program? The director Daniel Smith encouraged me to apply but seemed iffy on the possibility of funding, and now he stopped getting back to me altogether, so not very hopeful at this point.
