Hi all, wanting some information about UT's philosophy PhD. I applied for the direct entry, and getting nervous since last year's acceptances look like they were mostly sent out early Feb.
I'm looking to do the history of philosophy in South Asia, specifically Hindu-Muslim philosophical exchange/debate/appropriation. I personally think I have about as good of an application as I could have managed to produce over the past four years (which is not to say perfect, but I've worked my ass off), but obviously this does not guarantee anything. I am an American, and was wondering if anyone knows whether that will have an effect on my application. A trusted professor here told me that he thinks they basically are going to take one American, but I'd like to here from others before I give him any credence.
Also, general discussion thread!
