A little late to the party it seems, but here it goes. Undergraduate: I'll be graduating in the Spring with a double major in Philosophy and Psychology from a well-known state school. My overall GPA is a 3.5, though in Philosophy I maintain a 3.9. No Bs in any philosophy courses to date (hoping to keep it that way, though intermediate logic is trying!) I'll be completing an Honors Thesis this semester. My advisors are two tenured professors, one of whom is very well-known in my field of interest. These two professors, along with one other, are my letter writers. I've also been President, and am currently Co-President, of my university's undergraduate philosophy association (though I'm not sure how relevant that fact is). I've held these positions over the last two years. Other: I wasn't satisfied with my GRE the first time around, so I'll be retaking that. I'll be submitting papers for publishing in the coming weeks. Interests: My main interests are in philosophy of language and mind, particularly with singular thought. In my thesis I am analyzing the differences and similarities between Jeshion's Cognitivism and Recanati's mental file theory. Secondary interests are in the philosophy of consciousness/personal identity and perception, specifically whether a theory can allow for "branching kills" while remaining palatable and the veridicality of data representations of color in the color perception, respectively.
