I am finishing my last semester of undergrad and prepping for grad school applications. I am very type A personality and like to plan ahead whenever possible, but I have no clue what to expect and whether I'll be accepted into my top programs or any program at all. I would love some advice if anyone has any to give. My BA is from a relatively small state school with a tiny philosophy program, which makes me nervous that my application won't carry much weight. I have a 4.0 philosophy GPA and 3.95 overall. I'm interested in 19th and 20th century continental philosophy, philosophy of religion, ethics, and feminist and social philosophy. My GRE scores are mediocre (160 verbal, 152 quantitative, 5.0 writing). Distinguishing my application from others is the fact that I got accepted to a highly exclusive summer program for women in philosophy which I'll be attending later this month. I'm applying to the following schools: Emory, Vanderbilt, U of Kentucky, U of South Carolina, and South Florida. Has anyone been accepted to any of these, and if so, is my application relatively strong? What can I work on? Also any other program suggestions are welcome. I prefer schools in the southeast US.
