  1. Thanks for the heads up on the subject test, just had a look on the GRE website and the dates in October and November are seemingly already fully booked which is beyond frustrating as it's a requirement to one of the schools that (though a very long shot at getting in) fits perfectly! Maybe a cheeky trip to the States is in order to take it... (I wish!) The general test seems fine and dandy in terms of free spots for the time frame I wanted to take the test, so I guess that's a plus...
  2. Thanks, am looking forward to starting in a month and a bit, but also wanting to get as much application prep done before I start so juggling the two doesn't get too much at the start of the new academic year! I'm still working on the list of universities, again as opposed to the UK there are so many to research that it's all a little overwhelming! I'm interested in the relationship between philosophy and literature, with a main interest in the literary interaction of religious thought and materialism in 18th century England and it's also proving a challenge to find a good match for my interests at the moment! NYU is the dream, but I'm not holding out too much hope of getting in, still going to give it my best shot though. My brain is still a bit bewildered by the whole of the GRE, I guess it's probably because coming from the UK system I've never really encountered anything like it since I was about 12 so every time I start to think about it my brain goes into mini-meltdown mode. I think I just need to sit down and get on with it and stop panicking to be honest, though it's easier said than done!
  3. Hey, I'm also in the same boat, have just finished my undergrad at St Andrews, and am starting an MA at KCL in September and hoping to do the PhD in the US. It's definitely a daunting prospect, I'm currently battling with trying to write a first draft of the SoP and am feeling more than a bit overwhelmed by the whole application process! There's so much to do compared to the UK system and I just have no idea what to do to get it 'right', so any advice from past UK applicants would definitely be a great help! Hi to you two fellow UK applicants as well! So glad I found this place to make me feel slightly less alone in the daunting journey ahead haha. What research areas are you guys interested in?
