  1. mainly policy ethics and philosophy of law. i'll be sure to let you know when i find out what happens!
  2. i'm at dalhousie. the last two years my GPA was only around a 3.6... i don't think my writing sample was AMAZING...and i was iffy about how my letters of recommendation would be. i heard recently that they MAY be making more offers, so I guess I will have to wait and see if more people decline! I hope so!
  3. i'm still waiting to hear back from ryerson MA phil...really want to go...i'm from toronto but just finishing up school out east. do you mind if i ask what your GPA was when applying? i have a 3.58... not sure what my chances are!!!
  4. don't worry. when i submitted everything it took about 3 weeks until it said i had nothing outstanding...what program did you apply to?
  5. thanks that does make me feel better....haha i was thinking about calling the department and asking if i could re-send the proper writing sample.....do you think they would allow this? i dont know what to do...so stressful
  6. my professor said in his recommendation letter he has to write that i have a history of not completing courses. he said it is necessary and that because of it they will take the recommendation more seriously. he said he would not dwell on it and focus on discussing my excellent work, essays, and presentations. he told me to dicuss reasons for some incompletes on my transcripts. now im scared...my gpa is a 3.5 but ive had to retake some courses. my mother was ill and i was away from school alot and had to drop some courses or i failed them... i plan to address this in my statement. does anyone have any advice? is this going to seriously jeopordize my chances? my SOP is good and so is my writing sample...
  7. Hi everyone, I am applying to masters in philosophy programs in the next few days and to be perfectly honest, this was a recent decision. i am a philosophy major with about a 3.6 GPA... I am a bit concerned however because my first year and a random semester in my third year are very bad.....i mean.....i pretty much slacked off and got Ds and Fs... so my first question is... how bad will this effect my odds of being accepted? i retook them...hence why my GPA does not reflect those poor marks. secondly, who knows how good my letters of reference will be. my profs know me but they dont think im brilliant or anything. i could have done so much better but i obviously didnt because i didnt even think i would end up applying for an MA.... im not going to get into the good schools for MA phil...(ie. western, u of t, ubc---i am aware). I really want to move back home to toronto (right now im across the country finishing my BA)...so pretty much the only school i can apply to is ryerson.... DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE RYERSON MA for phil??? i want to know my odds of getting in... I know they only accept about 13 people a year but i have no idea what the admissions data is, etc. im also thinking about applying to guelph and brock.... can anyone help me figure out where i should apply.... the only school i really want to go to is ryerson....i would apply to york but i am unsure of my chances of getting into the program. also, if anyone has any advice on statement of purpose....advice welcomed. any advice will be helpful!! thanks!!!
