Hi~ Anyone knows funding information about U of Houston and UWM? Do them provide full funding?
-
It bothers me too
-
Hi all, Do we need submit the undergraduate transcript when we apply for Ph.D programs from our MA program?
-
Why don't you go to Oxford? Tufts is better than Oxford?

It's so kind of you.Thanks a lot! I'm hesitating to apply for a TA. I'm a international student and my spoken English is not as good as native speakers. Maybe I will have trouble with listening and communicating with professors during classes at begining. Is it a better choice to do a TA in the second semester? I aim at applying for good PhD programs. If get a TA will help me a lot, I will try my best to do so. Sorry to bother you to ask other thing. I hear that the program has many graduate students. How many will be showing in a class? I want to prepare myself better before attending. btw. What's your WS about? Would you mind tell me that doing what areas will get most help from sfsu? I saw you were accepted in Toronto. A top program! Congratulations too!

Thank you! metaphysics, Aristotle, early modern, philosophy of religion...I think. Are you in a Ph.D program now?
-
Hi friend, I just recieved an email from sfsu. It says "Department of philosophy at San Francisco State University has recommended your admission for fall 2018. Your application has been returned with our endorsement to the Division of Graduate Studies, which will send official notification to you." Do you know how long will I have to wait until recieve the official notification?

Wow, I heard its reputation! The top1 university in China, especially its humanities. You must be very smart. My firends says its analytic tradition is weak, but it seems just a misunderstanding.
-
I have a friend in China, and I never heard something good about philosophy education in China from him... Which school did you get your BA and MA from? Your offer is really really amazing...
-
Hi, I note the deadline of SFSU is July 15, if so when do they send offer? A rolling basis?
-
"a silent rejaction"? Will they reject a student without informing the student?
-
If you are serious about philosophy and want to start a professional career with it, I would recommend a MA program which can put you into a top PhD program. I think a high-quality discipline training and the good reputation from a PhD program is very crucial for a successful career.

Tufts is a bit unpractical for me, but it's nice to know more about it. Thanks!
-
Many thanks NIU is one of my dream school, it's better to hear that it lies in a small town and has faculty working in these areas.

It's very helpful! Thank you! I concern about interests out of a consideration for my future writing sample. I think if I could write a sample in a field I'm interested in, that might be much better for me to give some valuable points, and a professor who specializes in this field will help me a lot. After all, it would be very helpless if I can't find a suitable professor to advise me to write my sample paper. A question about SFSU. It's placement record seems not very clear, as someone says “The schools that students had been accepted into were aggregated into a list, so it was impossible to tell how many students were enrolled in PhD programs, and where they were enrolled. " Are there some other ways to see it's record is good?
-
Thanks! Yeah, it's difficult I guess so. Metaphysics, Aristotle and Kant are more important intersts, philosophy of religion is less so, among them, metaphysics maybe the most. Ideally, I merely want to find a program support one of them, not all. Do you mean Dekalb is samll and sparsely populated? Or it has some other defects? I know little about this city...But personally speaking, I perfer to live in a small town compared to big cities, only if it's actually quiet and convenient for basic needs of life.

Thanks for your confirmation. I didn't know much about specialities of Brandeis, the information from you and episteme7 helps a lot!
-
Thank you! I've heard of the reputation of Brandeis. Yet it's hight tuition scares me. My family only could support me $20000-30000(including the cost of living) at most per year, I even don't know whether it is enough even if I could get financial aid from Brandeis.

Hi, I'm an international student who is majoring in philosophy as an undergraduate. I intend to apply a MA program this fall. Based on the information from Philosophical Gourmet, I have got a general idea about several programs. But I know very little about which program fits my interest and at the same time can prepare me for high-quality Ph.D. programs. Here are my questions: 1.My academic interest mainly in metaphysics, philosophy of religion, history of philosophy (Plato, Aristotle, Kant, especially). Which MA program is best at these fields or one of them? 2.I notes that SFU, SFSU and Cal state LA do not require GRE, that is attracting because I will have much more time to learn philosophy, but I'm not sure whether the three programs are appropriate places to develop my interest and prepare me for a competitive Ph.D. program. Hoping some well-informed guys could give me some advices. Thank you all so much!
