Hey there guys. I'm an MA student in philosophy, my overall GPA is 4. I'm planning to apply to a PhD program in philosophy. My BSc degree is in computer engineering. The problem is my undergrad GPA is a disaster, it's 2. When I say it's a disaster, I mean it! Do you think this will affect the process of applying to a philosophy program? I've been told to truthfully explain everything in my statement of purpose. There's nothing complicated about it, it's just that I never liked what was being offered to me as an engineer, my motivation was at a low level back then! I wasn't depressed, I wasn't ill, and I had no problems of that sort. I just enjoyed reading philosophy and listening to philosophy lectures rather than wasting my time with tedious programming homeworks. How do you think I should explain this in my SOP? Is it even necessary to do so? Thanks in advance,
