<p>what kinds of tests did you typically have? Were they mainly multiple choice/true false on really specific things from the text or were they more essay questions? And if they were essay questions, were they like “explain philosopher x’s argument” or more open ended? </p>
<p>Also, the average philosophy GPA at UCB is around a 3.2 I think. I don’t know if that’s just philosophy majors, or all philosophy classes (which would include all of the lower division ones everyone takes for breadth requirements), but it’s pretty low compared to the other disciplines. I also don’t know if that means that everyone’s a slacker or stupid or if it’s just really tough. Something to keep in mind though.</p>
