Hi. I am applying to PhD programs this application season. I graduated with my BA in May. Here are what I deem to be the relevant facts about my application (I will make no claims about the quality of my writing sample or letters of recommendation.) I am glad to share this in the hopes that others will be encouraged to share as well. This process is a stress-inducing one, and reducing some of the mystery of the rest of the pool is, I think, a way to moderately reduce that stress.
