Hello, philosophers of The GradCafe! New member and (thus far) unsuccessful Ph.D applicant here. A few questions, if any of you have the time:
1. Has anyone heard anything from Yale or Michigan? From what I can gather from the forum posts, the results page can be unreliable.
2. Did anyone apply to joint-programs in Classics and Philosophy/programs in Ancient Philosophy?
2.a. If so, would you mind briefly going over your background in philosophy and/or classics?
2.b. Do you think applicants of those programs are, in some way, evaluated differently from applicants of the general program?
Congratulations to all those who have been accepted to graduate programs. I wish I were in your shoes!
