Yes, that C and that B+ will definitely hurt you.

There are lots and lots of past threads about this. I'd recommend you go look at those. Has been covered many times.

I like those odds.

Accepted off the waitlist at Wisconsin! Definitely accepting the offer

I've been accepted into Texas A&M's MA program in philosophy. Will gladly be accepting!

Accepted to Fordham off the wait list!

Hi all,
We had some funding come available after the April 15 deadline; if anyone's interested for consideration, please email me.  Congrats to those of you who have made plans for next year!
Best, Fritz

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Seems like your performance in philosophy courses has been pretty solid, and committees will be sensitive to the fact that math major courses are likely to depress your overall GPA. As long as your GRE is fairly strong, there's no reason your GPA would necessarily take you out of consideration at the first cut, which means your writing sample and LORs will likely get a look. So, focus on strong letters and a tight writing sample. 

This just isn't true. (Or supertrue.)

I'd suggest that UCLA edges out Berkeley in language, especially given that its linguistics department is absolutely top-tier. Of course, I may be biased since I'm going there.
Would you be able to take classes at USC? That's also in LA. And if there are faculty at UCLA or USC who you may be interested in, maybe you could have them as external advisors? That would definitely be a leg up.

I've been accepted off the wait list at Loyola Chicago.  

Shhhh, some of us have already infiltrated the hive mind.

Yes, I've accepted UCLA's offer (Rutgers rejected me off the waitlist)

I've just declined Harvard in what has been the most difficult decision of my life. I hope one of you fabulous folk gets a nice Friday surprise.

The Facebook group for applicants turned out to be very supportive, friendly, and entertaining, so we've decided to keep it going, but changed the name to Philosophy Graduate Entrants 2016. The idea is that as we go through the no doubt challenging years of our PhDs we'll have a group of friends at different departments going through the same things, and it's great to have a friendly network of students at just about every department you can think of. Feel free to join! https://www.facebook.com/groups/503589463155698/

In at BU off the waitlist. Time to sleep for a million years and maybe not have nightmares for once.

UCLA!

Just accepted an offer from Michigan Ann-Arbor. Declined Cornell wait list and UC-Boulder (fellowship). Really happy (and still a little shocked) to be in at Michigan, but declining Boulder was kind of crushing: everyone there has been so kind and helpful and it seemed like a great program, too.
