Any thoughts/comments regarding their program or admissions?

You might want to try to get some more detailed placement information. They seem to be one of the schools that (unfortunately) just lists some schools, but they don't tell us about:

- How recent grads have fared

- How long it takes people to get a job

- What percentage of people get an academic job

I don't have any firsthand knowledge of the program though, sorry. You might want to try the philosophy thread in livejournal's who_got_in, which seems to get more traffic.
