RationalEgoistSG Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 I've recently been informed that I've been accepted into the Objectivist Academic Center's Undergraduate Program! Anyone else going to be taking first year classes for it in the fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshRyan Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I am presently in the first year of the OAC (as is David). We'll be a year ahead of you, but we'll still probably have some contact with you through the program (such as the ARI campus list). I think you'll enjoy the classes.

Atlas51184 Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 I'll be a first year student also. Why did it take them so long to inform us? Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalEgoistSG Posted August 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 theDude, have you heard anything from the OAC since hearing about your accpetance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas51184 Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I was just thinking about that. And the answer is no. If I don't get an email on Monday I'm going to email them and ask what's up. They said that they would tell us the entire deal by the end of July, which has passed, so... They have been behind schedule with every part of the whole process, so this doesn't come as a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshRyan Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 I've noticed that the folks at the OAC are often behind schedule. Don't let that surprise or worry you, they will get around to it eventually (and hopefully on time to still be useful). Most of them also work in other capacities at ARI or have other jobs, so they are busy busy people...although it would be nice if they could consistently get things out when they say they're going to.

RationalEgoistSG Posted August 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 I received word, a long time ago, that I was accepted into the OAC, at which time, they requested that I reply to this acceptance. I did so, and since then, I have not received any word as to whether this reply was received, the schedule of the OAC classes, whether or not I will receive a phone scholarship, etc. Is there some sort of major delay here for everyone else? Or has something gone wrong for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshRyan Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 I received an immediate reply when I replied to my notification of acceptance last year. However, the actual registration of classes and other things did get sent out later than they had said they would. This year I still have not received any information on registering for the second-year courses. The OAC doesn't seem to be one of ARI's top priorities at this point. I am guessing that they're just running behind because they're busy with other projects. Yes, it can be inconvenient, but I wouldn't worry about it too much--they'll get around to it eventually.

RationalEgoistSG Posted August 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I recently received the schedule for the first year OAC classes and I have a scheduling conflict with the Introduction to Philosophy class. For those of you who have taken classes before, is it harmful to the education to listen to the classes on tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinorityOfOne Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 It's not as good as listening in live, but it's not bad. I had to do it for a while, may have to again this semester... (still waiting for the schedule.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Today I was accepted into the undergraduate program at the Objectivist Academic Center. I was wondering if anyone here is currently or going to be or was a student in either the undergraduate or graduate program and if so, did you enjoy it?
