  1. I see what you're getting at now. Not sure of the stats (though we can imagine both how atrociously low they are), but I know that students from my college were accept to the new school with a full ride within the past few years. Full funded is possible, though not probable. The student to faculty ratio is disconcerting, and it's something to keep in mind, if I even won admission. With that said, it's not my first choice, but a better fit than the maph program, which is not a choice.The new school's course selection better serve my interests than a seminar in 1970s utopian science fiction, for example (course offered after glancing at their site).
  2. my impression is that the maph program doesn't offer funding, whereas the new school's programs seldom offer funding.
  3. hey all, been lurking the forum awhile. figured i'd weigh in. coming from prestigious (and fun) east coast SLAC GPA: ~3.7 by the end of this academic year. GRE: Taking it next month; practice exams have yielded: 168v/149q (lol) My recommendations will be strong, hopefully my writing sample will be up to par. Paper topic is an analysis of an aspect of Heidegger's time in being and time and comment on recent criticism. AOI: Kierkegaard, Heidegger, existentialism, phenomenology, Kant, history of philosophy, ethics, ancients I'll be applying to the new school (ma, phd), baylor, boston, georgetown, st andrews (m.litt/m.phil), yale divinity school, georgia state (ma), possibly university of warwick (ma) (would I rly want to go there?), and u chicago (do I rly want to pay $75 for a generic rejection letter? OR if lucky win acceptance to an unfunded, one year "masters of humanities" program?) trying to be vaguely realistic; but if completely shut out, fail again, fail better, as beckett writes
