Philosophy, Yale University 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 shitshow, 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).

Philosophy, Tufts University 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!

Philosophy, Stanford University 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!

Philosophy, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology (MIT) i'm sure the point of this survey is not to i) make sarcastic unfunny posts about the waitlist that are borderline classist/racist or ii) express whether you are glad at any certain point (hot take but enjoying someone else's misfortune is pretty negative..)

Philosophy, University of North Texas I am on the waitlist for financial package. If anyone received the financial package from UNT and is not planning on attending, I beg you to decline soon. My family and I are trying to make it work financially but we need that package. Trying to take care of my elderly mother in law as well.

Philosophy, DePaul University To the post below: I am not on the waitlist, too. I guess hope might extend April 15th, but of course, decreasing as time goes by. I am informed by the DePaul philosophy department that the philosophy faculty have made their first-round decisions. Those applicants have until April 15 to respond. After that, the faculty will go out to their second-round decisions and so forth until all places are filled. Hope that most people who are accepted to DePaul have better alternatives!

Philosophy, DePaul University To the poster below, unfortunately I believe they only extended 1 or 2 offers and people have already accepted. I am not on the waitlist and have not heard from them, so am assuming most us will simply be rejected. Buuuut we still have 5 more days of hope?
