I can't say much at this point without quickly giving away my identity, but I'm happy to say more at a later time. I do come from a top university with a top philosophy department, and some of my letters were from eminent philosophers. I had either taken a graduate seminar or done independent work with each of my recommenders. My writing sample is in my AOI, and my stats are in the signature below. If you have any specific questions, I'll let you know whether I'm comfortable answering them.
