Unless you have some enormous amount, I wouldn't.

I pretty much left those sections blank for everything except for Warwick, where I'm applying for a Fulbright.

Leaving it blank too. It gave me pause though. Also how annoying is MIT's "subjects taken" section?

[Table]

Took me approx. 5 years to fill out. "Applicants to the Philosophy Program are required to list only relevant texts and authors in this section" What does that even mean? 

[MattDest]

I left the finances part blank too. MIT was a doozy. 

[Deliberate]

"Applicants to the Philosophy Program are required to list only relevant texts and authors in this section" -- yes, this section is completely unclear to me.  What are you all taking this to mean and how are you filling it out?

[Table]

For my "subjects," I listed my phil and phil-relevant courses. Included the main books we used for all of the courses listed, because who knows. 

Maybe they want you to list all of your courses and only include texts for the philosophy & phil-relevant ones? It's a mystery to me. 

[Philhopeful]

I just put philosophy courses too. I barely put down anything for textbooks because so few of my courses even centered on books though.
