GPA 3.70

Seeing all posted acceptances have a 3.9-4.0 GPA leads me to think most of y'all are not even double majors who took courses that genuinely pushed you to your limits and challenged you to think in new ways outside of philosophy and as a philosopher. Philosophy is difficult. Getting A's in undergraduate courses philosophy and humanities courses is not. It staggers me how hardly anyone with less than a 3.85 posts an acceptance, if that even happens at all. If there are less 3.9's applying in philosophy, then adcoms have to put more effort in assessing our applications. Would be interesting to see how many of those rejected have that high of a GPA, because I'm aware that it can still happen. Just trying to keep those who are probably way too proud about their extremely high GPA as a philosophy major in check.

Okay, are we not gonna talk about the AUDACITY of that rejection letter lol? Most are conciliatory and acknowledge a bit of the fickleness and randomness of the process, but that letter was: "We had a lot of applications and had to choose the best. And you definitely were not among the best"

Two rejections in one day. Ouch. I think coming from an unknown institution with non-analytic letter writers has hurt me more than my overall GPA. I thought I was a good fit. Prestige bias strikes again, or I'm just unlucky. 0a/0w/4r/10p
