Just some context, I am in an MA program at school ranked on the PG rankings but on the lower end and I am funded. I was really hoping to get into decently ranked PhD programs, and now I feel liked I messed that all up. I got a B on the first paper (which I felt was a little unfair) and I turned in the 2nd one and I guess I didn't do good enough to bump it to an A-. My other two grades were As. The class is far from my AOI. I'm pretty sure the school I go to does not inflate grades; I know a lot of students got A-/B+s on papers and even a few B/B-s.
So I guess the questions I have are: How concerned should I be? Will this significantly impact my ability to get into decent PhD programs? My dream is to have a career in philosophy and I worked really hard to have an almost perfect undergrad GPA and I feel like I just ruined it all.
Thanks for any info
