LennyBound Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi everyone. I also did applications again this year, and so figured I should re-introduce myself. So... hello! Also if anyone gets accepted at Indiana University (either for the straight Philosophy department or for the HPS department), I strongly encourage that you to contact me. Good luck everyone!

Duns Eith Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Hey LennyBound, I applied there, but, of course, no word yet. Are you enrolled at Bloomington?

majorshake Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 After learning that Indiana University's most cherished tradition is drinking gin with fresca out of a bucket with a turkey baster, I realised I want to go to Indiana University.

Witsclaw Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi all! I just finished undergrad at a top 10 PGR-ranked school. I took the year off between undergrad and grad school to really settle on a path going forward (I was considering law school, as many philosophers do). I'm currently working full time, reading up on feminist metaphysics, and worrying about admissions results! AOI: metaphysics, philosophy of language, social philosophy. I applied to 12 PhD programs: Harvard, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Rutgers, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UNC Chapel Hill, U Michigan (Ann Arbor), UT Austin, Yale. Best of luck to you all!

Ibycus Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Hey everyone! I went to St. John's College in Annapolis and am applying to PhDs this year ranked about 10-40 (UT Austin, Arizona, UNC, UVA, UCSD, Berkeley, Colorado, and Chicago). My primary interest is normative and applied ethics, with a secondary in philosophy of mind. Just coming on here to commiserate and learn about when we'll hear back! Good luck everybody!

Dysexlia Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone! I recently finished an undergrad degree in philosophy with a minor in neuroscience (would have done a double major but my school didn't offer it). Coming from a small, public, liberal arts school in NC. I've been spending the past year-or-so applying to schools and working full time in Information Systems. I've only applied to 7 programs (both MA's and PhD's) and now, after reading some of the other posts in here, I am worrying that maybe I should have applied to more. Here are the places I've applied: University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser, Brock University, Harvard, NYU, King's College London, and Brandeis. I've already heard from KCL (on 2/3 via email and then their website) and have been accepted with an "unconditional offer," yay! No funding though, so, I am still holding out for that. Good luck to everyone! Edit: I forgot to mention that my AOI's are philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of mind, neurophenomenology, philosophy of science, and Buddhist philosophy.

Welcome to TGC! What made you decide to apply to KCL? I feel like a lot of American applicants wouldn't have even thought of that as a possible option.

I've got a few friends across the pond and I've heard good things about their department especially in the area's of Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science. I checked out the faculty and there are a few people doing work that I am quite interested in!

Yeah I mean I've been in touch with someone there (not for a few weeks, mind you) and what they told me was that in order to be considered for the University Fellowship that they announced a few months ago, everything had to be in BEFORE January 1st. This leads me to believe that they may have already started reviewing applications but, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dysexlia Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 By the way, @ApplyingToGradSchools I just noticed that UBC extended their deadline to yesterday, so that would be why they will not be reviewing applications until the 15th. I wonder why they decided to extend! 753982 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
