  1. Probingtheology- Your GRE scores are not bad at all (although they won't help your application to the top schools), and the rest of your application seems strong. You might want to keep this in mind before you retake your GRE. There are risks involved in retaking the GRE. If you get the same score, it will make that part of your application stand out even more (and there is always the possibility of scoring lower, which looks even worse). Going from a 670 to a 730 is actually a big leap on the Verbal section. I don't want to come off abrasive, but it may be in your best interest to play it safe and submit your moderately good GRE scores, since the rest of your application looks great. But then again, how did you do on your Powerprep tests? These are the most accurate indication of how you should perform on the actual test. But unless you can score 730V on the powerprep, it might not be worth the gamble.
  2. You can ignore the last post. A referee reviews papers submitted to a conference. They do the blind review. Of course, when I review papers, I always carry a whistle just in case.
  3. Studyordie- You asked: After reading more of last year's conversation I am realizing just how good your idea of a second master's in philosophy is. Are there any philosophy MA's w/ a good continental emphasis that are known to give full-tuition scholarships if they want somebody? (I know that's rarer at the MA level than at the Ph.D. level). Most Terminal MA's offer funding. Some of the top programs are listed at http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/maprog.asp (however, Leiter's rankings of philosophy have some huge problems. Most "Continental" programs don't even get evaluated... but I can go on all day, so I'll save that for another post). If you want a program to prepare you for Continental Philosophy, Georgia State would be the no-brainer. They have a good reputation with people doing work in the History of Philosophy/Continental Philosophy, and the last I heard, they offer funded students $15,000. I am at Northern Illinois University, and we have Theodore Kisiel (he's a giant in the Heidegger-world). However, he retired last year, so he only teaches on and off. You may also want to apply to Toronto. They have a funded, 1-year MA program (they turned me down last year). If you have money that you don't know how to spend, you might want to look at University College, Dublin.
