  1. Hey all, Hope this is the right place to post this. I am currently early-mid twenties and graduated with a Bachelors' degree in Fine Arts. I work primarily in AutoCAD. Due to working for two gap years during undergraduate, I graduated last May, 2021, after a year and a half of zoom courses. I discovered during this time that my true passion is philosophy, and have spent a significant amount of time, as of late, dedicated to studying the philosophy of the pre-critical rationalists (Baumgarten, Wolff, Meier, etc), and studying philosophy in general (probably 2 years now). I am mostly interested in Aesthetics, philosophy of Science, philosophy of History, and political philosophy. Despite having a well-known professor, my school was a C-level school; I didn't get too many connections there and don't really know anyone from there I could turn to advice for the Fine Arts, much less philosophy, which is my true passion. So that's why I come here. I am aiming towards a joint JD-MPhil degree (partly for law money), and, of course, making somewhat of a lateral shift from another field. On one hand, the path to having a good application to a Law program is much more clear and rigid (Intern as a paralegal, good writing, study LSAT and get a good score), but the philosophy component is FAR less clear. In this case, I have to apply to both programs seperately. What actions could I take to prove to a potential admissions department that I have what it takes to be a graduate philosophy student without having anything clearly marked in my Curriculum Vitae or Resume? I have writings on Eriugena and Neoplatonism, Kant, Aztec philosophy, etc. I am also a student of the Arabic and German languages. I don't have anything on paper that indicates a background in philosophy or the humanities in general (other than humanities courses in undergraduate which bordered between philosophy and art criticism). Are there any programs that are akin to what an art residency would be, but for philosophy? What are the best things I could do to beef up my chances of being accepted into such a program?
