Philosophy Graduate School Admission Results

Hi everyone, since we only have eleven days until the acceptance deadline we should all help each other out and turn down any offers we won't accept and ask to be removed from any waitlists that we won't accept. I've turned down an offer, but I'm currently on six waitlists that I would accept prior to my current offers (I'm deciding between the two that I'm holding onto but will turn one of them down very soon). I am very stressed but if we all turn down the offers we don't want then we could start a chain reaction which could hopefully get a lot of people off of waitlists prior to the fifteenth. I, along with a lot of other people I'm guessing, really don't want to accept an offer on the fourteenth and hear back from a school that I'd prefer to go to on the fifteenth. Anyways, sorry for my rant, I'm sure you all understand. Regarding Utah, I was told that I was on the 'reserve list', or the hidden waitlist. So my odds don't look great there.

Email from director of grad admissions. Nice email, they let me know I was number 10 or so on the waitlist, so probably not a great shot of acceptance—we'll see though, fingers crossed!

I asked about my waitlist status and was told there were at least 12 or more people higher than me on the waitlist. For a good program like UA's, I'll take that as a polite rejection. I really was fooled by the initial letter that said "there is a good chance" -- good luck to the rest of you though!

Got an email from the grad director. Although stated multiple times on their website that almost all of their students receive assistantships, the email revealed that they will be giving out 0 assistantships. Their website directly contradicts their offer in every way.

Accepted off of waitlist

IGNORE STATUS. Has anyone heard back from UH ?

Ignore status. Who has received rejection notices from UConn? I want to assume that I am on their internal hidden waitlist. I have solicited the DGS about my status with no response. Super frustrating, but whatever.
