I sadly didn't apply to Berkeley LMS. I have applied to Carnegie though since I have experience with doing Game Theory and currently studying Category Theory. I come from a very small school. Literally, I have three Philosophy professors at my University. College math can get hard after Linear Algebra for most Math majors because now you are proving everything you are doing. I know I got a couple of B's here in there in my advanced courses and I didn't start to take academia seriously until my last two years. I am proud of you doing Logic. Keep doing you!

Hey all! I guess I'll introduce myself. 1. I have a 3.63 GPA with (3.77 in B.S. Mathematics). I am going to graduate with a B.S. Mathematics and a Philosophy minor. I have enough credits to be a bachelor in Philosophy. I wrote my Philosophy thesis on J.G. Fichte and my Math thesis on Dirichlet's Problem. 2. My areas of Interest are: German Idealism (J.G. Fichte), 19th Century Philosophy, Existentialism, Berkeley's infinitesimals, Philosophy of Math, Category Theory, Complex Analysis, and PDE. Recently, I have been reading Heidegger. Wittgenstein isn't very appealing yet to me. I really like extrapolating the mathematical frameworks of philosophers and putting them to the test mathematically. 3. I am applying to 6 schools in Philosophy and this is my first ever application cycle. So yes, I am a bit nervous. I know my AOIs may be out of the mainstream, but I think this makes me stand out as an applicant. Good luck to all!
