So.
ACCEPTED TO CMU OMG YAY!!!

Now I have to decide if it’s worth shelling a ton of $ to come here, or if it’s better to go to state school with a full scholarship. This is not the question, though. I’d like to learn about the H&SS and specifically, the philosophy department.

I’ve read the site and all, but I really have no idea on how to gauge its strength in comparison to other schools. What/where can you go in terms of job opportunities, career paths, and graduate school?

So… how are they? Any advice/links about other threads that have discussed this would be extremely helpful and I’m sure other people accepted to H&SS would appreciate it. Thanks!
