<p>Hey guys. So I'm in a conundrum, somewhat. I am an AA student studying at Binghamton University. I am a sophomore who plans to graduate a year early (credit wise, I am a junior). I have a 3.6 GPA in philosophy. I am a division 1 athlete, I run track and field here. Not to boast or gloat, but I was traditionally going to attend Swarthmore College but personal finances would now allow. In addition to relative academic success, I have written awarded papers in political phislophy, some of which have been published. Anyways my questions concern the practicality (if any) of my application to a graduate philosophy program in hopes of professional academic philosophy? Is there a reasonable cost effective market for such a risk? I am also considering applying to law school. With my GPA (and my practice LSAT scores in the 167-170 range) what do you think are my chances at a top law school? Also note that if I go to law school I have a serious interest in public interest/social justice as well legal academia (which I have heard is a immensely competitive and narrow market).</p>
