Admissions Question

<p>Hello Everyone,</p>

<p>I was just wondering, since I really don't know, how do you make it specific in the admissions process as to what exactly you want to "major" or specialize in (as in why Princeton specifically). I had a great experience with a Princeton rep. at a college fair in my school, and I am really interested in applying with a focus on Philosophy. If anyone knows something specifically about Philosophy that would be amazing, but if you don't - just in general too. Any response is much appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>we have Peter Singer - he's pretty famous. Also Cornel West...but he's not really philosophy,...but he sort of is I think?</p>

<p>And dont worry about knowing right now what you want to major in. Wherever you go, you'll have plenty of time to figure it out.</p>

<p>You specify your major by picking it from a list on the application. Obviously, you can talk about how much you love your selected major in your essays as well.</p>

<p>As for Princeton's philosophy department: its graduate program is ranked third in the country, behind Rutgers and NYU. (No, the graduate program isn't the undergraduate program, but no one ranks undergraduate programs.)</p>

<p>Yeah, I read about Pete Singer and thats a big draw for me</p>

<p>Thanks for responding though, since I wasn't completely sure of how to make what i was applying for clear (other than essays)</p>
