  1. Sorry for the late reply. I hadn't checked the forum for a while. This information is really helpful. Now I know I have to put more effort into studying Verbal.
  2. Thank you, this helps a lot! My grad GPA is 4.23 on the scale of 4.3, so I think the problem is on my GRE or writing sample (or both). And I am kind of surprised that you think my AW is not a big deal comparing to my Verbal. Can you explain a little bit more why you think it is less important? Because it may affect the way I prepare for GRE. To be honest, I have spent a lot of time practicing AW, but I still only got 3. If AW is not so important, I will spend my time studying Verbal. As to the writing sample, I really appreciate your willingness to help read my sample. But I am not familiar with how this forum runs, should I PM you, or attach my sample in the post?
  3. @maxhgnsThanks for telling me about the second PhD thing. The reason why I was not sure whether I was "allowed" to study a second MA is that I saw a blog mentioning that universities in the USA may not allow their applicants to have an MA in the same field. I agree that paying for an MA is not the best option since it is expensive. So if I choose to apply to MA, I will look for the funded MA. But, even I get admitted, I still have to devote at least 2 years. So, I think what I will do is applying for PhD programs and also some MA programs as a backup.
  4. @neechaaThanks for sharing your experience. I think one of my present goals would be polishing my sample, and probably I will retake GRE since your score is significantly higher than mine.
  5. I have been studying an MA program in philosophy outside the USA. Last year, I applied to several PhD programs (some are listed on the Gourmet's report, some are not), I made to the waitlist of Oklahoma but got rejected in the end. I feel like having an MA in American may enhance the possibility of getting into a PhD program, but I am not sure if I am allowed to do so, or if it is uncommon in the field of philosophy? By the way, here is my background: I have one publication (in Chinese), my GRE score is V161/Q158/AW3, and my AOI is in epistemology (primary). Any advice and suggestion would be greatly appreciated ^^
