  1. Also wait listed at VA, got the email yesterday...
  2. Agreed, I think Its a largely useless test that doesn't tell the admissions committee any more than your writing sample would. Still, try not to stress about your Q score. Mine was about as bad as yours and I still got in somewhere (with funding!). It depends on where you apply I guess and what else you have going for you. Good luck with the rest of your applications!
  3. Hi, I'm also in political philosophy. I wasn't sure about my chances so I applied to mostly MA's (Brandeis, George Mason, George Washington) and two PhDs (UVA and SUNY Binghamton). I got into Binghamton and am still waiting on UVA. My writing sample was about how Rawls' Law of Peoples could be seen as a cosmopolitan. I chose philosophy over theory partially because of my quantitative GRE scores, I had been advised that the job market for philosophy was slightly better, plus I also heard that it's easier for philosophers to explore political science as opposed to the other way around. Honestly, I don't know which area in philosophy is most exciting and I've been trying to catch up on the recent literature. Still, I certainly find cosmopolitan theories and international justice fascinating.
  4. Hey you guys, long time lurker first time poster, I just wanted to put down my first acceptance at SUNY Binghamton SPEL program. My AOI is political philosophy and I'm really excited to be a part of a program so focused on my interests. For those looking to compare stats by GRE was abysmal V:166; Q:148; W3.0 with a 3.94 GPA. Anyways I'm just really excited and good luck to all the rest of you
