  1. Received an acceptance email from Kent State. No word on funding, though I intend to give them a call on Monday to inquire further.
  2. Another Emory reject. They can bugger off too, would have been a poor fit also. I gather they moved away from traditional in depth and historical Continental studies and are focusing much more on Biopolitical, Feminist, and Social Justice issue, which is fine by me, but by no means my area of interest. The only thing I am upset about is the $75 fee.
  3. Something like $1600-$1800 on 11 schools.
  4. Agreed. 168 Verbal, 149 Quantitative, 5.0 AW. I goofed on the AW, particularly on the first essay. I am pretty sure that the first essay scored a 4, and the second a 6, hence resulting in a 5. Regarding the way in which departments look at the GREs, I think it depends, as you’ve said, in your interest. If your interest lies in Analytic Philosophy, then you’re Quant scores may matter a little more. If you’re continental, then obviously the verbal is the one that matters more. However, I’ve also read that some departments don’t really care about the GRE and rather just use it for funding purposes. UCR, as I gather, cares merely for totals rather than particularly V or Q. I can’t really comment on the Analytic side, but I know for Continentals, based on everything I’ve been told by professors, the Math section is not important.
  5. Concerning University of Chicago, can anyone confirm whether they are indeed doing interviews this cycle? If so, does anyone know if they have sent out interview requests to everyone they intended to send one out to?
  6. Waiting on PhD wise- Emory, Memphis, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Chicago, University of New Mexico, Oregon, and UC Riverside; Masters wise- Kent, Miami Ohio, and Eastern Michigan. Have not received any word from Chicago yet, neither about the alleged interview nor anything about the acceptance/rejection.
  7. I am applying to pluralistic programs such that I can further my understanding of continental traditions, namely phenomenology and post-structuralism, and then apply that to contemporary issues in political philosophy. My writing sample was on Nozick's Lockean Proviso. I offered my interpretation of the proviso, used Will Kymlicka's writings to critique it, and offered my own writings to support the said critique. Have not heard anything back yet. Fingers crossed.
