I am an international applicant from China, and I am working on pursuing master degree in US first, then i will apply for PhD I suppose. I have to say that I am now worrying and terrified for I don't know what program I might have more opportunities to get into... Also, I am now engaged in taking TOEFL and GRE tests, have not start to write the writing sample yet.
I wonder could anyone recommend some programs that provide master degree (I may not have to consider the funding)? Really appreciate that. And I heard that some best-known universities would provide MA but they are indeed cash cows, is that true? But why?
My current interest are meta-ethics and applied ethics (bioethics), and probably religious philosophy (Buddhism).
