I will definitely keep an eye on it. I am emailing Professor Schneider from UConn as well.

I am so sorry that I have not replied to you two sooner -- I thought I would get a notification in my inbox if anyone responded and didn't get one. I just checked and saw the two responses. My main focus concerns reductive arguments of consciousness and I have recently focused on Chalmers's anti-reductive arguments and how they rely on his epistemology of phenomenology. I wrote my MA thesis for King's College London and am using for my writing sample a critique of his "acquaintance relation" that he uses to underpin his (annoyingly intuition based (At least to me. There are those who rely heavily on intuitions (see Kripke) but I admit a strong skepticism in regards to its use.)) anti-reductive arguments. My interests lie in Phil of Mind, Phil of Science, Late Wittgenstein, and Philosophical methodology. I have been in contact with professors at UConn maxghns (Professor Bar-On and I plan on emailing Prof. Lycan soon to see if we are a good fit. I have not considered Millikan but I definitely will) and am planning on applying to Cincinnati. Indiana State, U of Chicago, Ohio and Iowa also seem like solid choices. be. -- You are right -- I was assuming that they were all top programs, that was my mistake. I see now that there are mid-low tier programs in there as well (again, as you said, no offense to those Universities). I will look into Alberta, Buffalo and Calgary (though finding a dept. that specializes in both Late Wittgenstein and phil of Mind is annoying difficult). Thanks for all the help.

Hello, Getting into a PhD program in philosophy is super tough and I want to apply to plenty of mid-low tier programs as well as a few top ones but I am not sure which programs are mid-low tier in phil of mind. The philosophical gourmet gives all the top universities but is not very helpful for mid-low tier programs. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.
