thanks for the response. i have a found a site (petersons.com, i think) that gives a statistical breakdown of graduate schools in a number of categories, including acceptance rates (i don't know how accurate or up-to-date the reporting is). the main reason i ask (and maybe Magog, you have some thoughts on this) is that I am Candian and it concerns me that this will affect my chances at American programs, especially with respect to funding. I came across a post on leiter's blog that suggests that Canadians are at a disadvantage in this regard.

I was wondering if anybody might have some idea of which Ph.D. programs in the US (one's friendly to Continental philosophy) might be a little easier to get admitted to into then the commonly listed SPEP Schools (Villanova, Vanderbilt, UB, DePaul, Oregon, Duquesne etc.)? I would especially like to know if there are any smaller schools not listed in either the PGR or the SPEP that would be likely to accept students in Continental Philosophy?
