First of all, I present myself: I’m Nicolás, a Chilean student looking forward to continue my studies of Philosophy in the USA.
In terms of authors my AOI are Kant and German Classical Philosophy, and in terms s of research topic my AOI are the critique of the metaphysic and the structure of reason as a System.
I’ve checked the Leiter’s report on specialty rankings for 2016-17 for Kant and 19th Century Philosophy. According to that information, these Universities have a proper department for my AOI:
Chicago, Brown, Columbia, New York, University of California (Riverside), Johns Hopkins University, Indiana University (Bloomington), University of California (San Diego), Stanford University [There are not ordered]
But I find that there are two problems with this piece of information: First, it seems that it is a bit outdated (It was posted in 9.21.16), so I will have to wait for the new report to come. Second, the ranking seems to be a bit abstract to me, because it doesn’t give a detailed explanation about the reasons and motives that guided its structure.
So, given that, I would like to ask you for guidance. According to your opinion, in which departments do you think I would fit adequately? Should I look in other areas too such as Religion, German Studies, etc.?
Thank you in advance for your time.
