I appreciate all of those who decided to read and provide feedback to this post Firstly, my academic stats are a 3.91 philosophy(8 As, 2 A+s, 1 B)/3.84 overall GPA from an unranked(by PGR) undergrad and a 340 GRE. I wouldn't say more than two of the faculty members from my undergrad could write LORs that would be competitive with letters from faculty at elite philosophy universities. I have been working on a writing sample for roughly a month now off a paper I wrote last semester, and intend on revising it all the way to the deadline if necessary. For the sake of my stats for what they are, at an unranked philosophy department, let's assume my writing sample is good for evaluating my odds based off the things I can no longer improve. My AOI is political philosophy and ethics. If it's worth mentioning, I'm also applying to law schools this cycle with a 178 LSAT and high likelihood of acceptance to various t14 schools. I intend on applying contemporaneously to the philosophy programs at the law schools I'm interested in, and was wondering if this provides any grounds for advantage/disadvantage. I saw on Columbia's grad school site that it's possible to submit LSAT scores supplementary to the application if one thinks it's relevant, and I was wondering if you thought for philosophy that my LSAT could give me somewhat of an edge. I assume doing so would just come off as pretentious and unnecessary, but if I declare an interest in topics related to the law and politics, is it possible that my LSAT score could indicate a seriousness about pursuing my interests? Do PhD/JD applicants generally have a decreased chance of admission given their interests and time are less available to faculty? Thanks for reading and providing feedback if you were so inclined to do so.
