  1. Thanks, that's a good point about the letter writers. I'll mention my concerns to them and see what they say.
  2. Did anyone complete grad work at their undergrad institution before applying to PhD programs? I'm in what I feel like has become a weird position, where I am likely going to graduate from my undergrad with only a little more than a semester's worth of classes short of the MA course requirements in philosophy from that institution, that is, 24 or so credits, depending on what I do this spring. (Long story short, I have been registered as a non degree seeking grad student since my second year through a different department's accelerated bachelor's/master's program, but stopped taking grad classes in that department after my sophomore year when I realized I could be doing all philosophy instead.) I realize that I won't be able to transfer more than 12 of these credits to most programs, some even less, but I didn't take the classes for that purpose -- I just enjoy the work, and wanted to be able to demonstrate an ability to do graduate-level coursework. I'm just wondering now whether it will look bad that I didn't finish the MA, even though that wasn't my goal in the first place. I was wondering if any of you have been in this situation, or applied with a MA from your undergrad institution, or anything else similar. For what it's worth, I'm in the US, coming from a continental-leaning department, applying to mostly continental schools with secondary interests/some faculty who work in the analytic tradition.
