Thank you for the advice! I am probably more inclined to history of philosophy and close exegesis, but I will keep this in mind during my visit at Pitt this week.

Sounds great! I'll be arriving Monday night, and I'll be really interested to hear about your thoughts and interests! Great! See: above.

I'm visiting Pittsburgh this coming week and Chicago two weeks later (25-30). I'm not visiting Oxford (too expensive and they didn't offer to pay for it).

Hey, just wondering if anyone can help provide me some info on programs. I'm in at Arizona, Penn (though I told them to take me off the list), Pittsburgh, UChicago, and Oxford (BPhil), waitlisted at Berkeley and Toronto. My main interests are political/legal philosophy, Kant, German idealism, and history of philosophy, and to a lesser extent classical philosophy (though I have no facility with Greek and Latin). I'm still waiting to hear back from Stanford and NYU (presumed rejection at NYU). I'd really appreciate if anyone can offer me advice on the above programs. I'm hearing mixed things from professors (one is really strongly advising me to pick Chicago but doesn't know about Oxford yet, another is somewhat less strongly pushing Chicago, and another is really strongly pushing Pittsburgh), but personally I'm vacillating mostly between Chicago and Oxford at this stage, though still considering Pittsburgh and to a lesser extent Arizona (though I may withdraw my app from Arizona soon). Any advice?
