[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not the best liberal arts college in the country: Amherst College. I'm not even sure CMC has a philosophy program-definitely not at the level of Amherst-where students get into top grad schools every year[/quote] Best laugh of the day. Thanks, PP.[/quote] In the world of philosophy, Amherst’s name is worth gold. I don’t think grad schools even know what “Pamona” or Claremont men’s college are. Great maybe if you want to teach at cal poly or something.[/quote] Are you kidding? A tenure track job at cal poly would be a great outcome for virtually any philosophy phd. The job prospects are abysmal.[/quote] Indeed. Would not take advice from someone who thinks that getting a job at Cal Poly would be a bad outcome, they clearly are completely out of touch with the field. Undergrad programs at Pitt and Rutgers will also be top-notch, although the in-field prestige won't translate as much if the long-term plans are for law school or consulting, etc (but for law school a good GPA and LSAT are most important anyway). JHU has relatively few majors but the faculty has made significant hires in recent years. But if he wants a SLAC, Hopkins might not be a fit. [/quote]
