<p>Right, sorry. </p>
<p>Let’s see…my major is going to be Philosophy, and I’m planning on minoring (or double majoring, if it’s available) in Judaic Studies. My GPA at my community college is a 3.7, but in high school is was a 2.3. My main criteria for schools are the ranking of its philosophy department, its need-based financial aid, and a school that’s not too big or too focused on its MA and PhD students. I don’t really know which types of schools I should be aiming for—but I keep applying to schools that are out of my league (I applied to Brown for last fall, though I knew I’d be rejected). </p>
<p>I’m not a member of anything. I have a philosophy blog that I’m fairly serious about, and I’ve had a few jobs and volunteered at a few places. I think I can come up with a good essay, though.</p>
<p>I just learned that Amherst has both financial aid for transfers AND an application fee waiver, but I don’t know if it’s too much of a reach.</p>
