Bit of a random question: are there any grad schools that stand out for doing metaphilosophy (ie. philosophising about the aims and methods of philosophy)? I guess it's a rather unusual area to specialise in...

From the admissions pages I've looked at, it seems that philosophy grad programmes require only an unofficial transcript during the application process. Does anyone know if this is universally the case, or are there places which do require an official transcript during application?

Hey folks, I'm an international student looking to apply to American PhD programmes in philosophy. A friend who has already been through the application process has advised me: 'There are a whole bunch of good University of California campuses in great locations (UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Riverside UC Irvine) I got really excited about applying to them, but later found that they accept very few international students because we can never become state residents, and therefore the University loses out on state funding' That looks like a reason to cross all grad schools in California off my list. Does anyone know more about this issue, or about whether it applies to other states? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find information about the availability of philosophy PhD programmes in Europe that feature a coursework component similar to the American system. It's proving quite difficult to find this information though! Does anyone have any suggestions?
