If you’re planning on majoring in philosophy, psychology, or even anything remotely related…mention John Dewey. That HAS to score points with the adcom (j/k). For those not already in the know, John Dewey is one of the biggest names in a field of philosophy called pragmatism. He more or less developed this field after earlier pioneering work was done by William James (Harvard) and Charles Peirce.
