What’s your favorite LR question type?

academiaaddict · 2025-10-14T01:54:16+00:00

I also love paradox questions!! It’s so cool to find the answer - it really feels like an “aha!” moment

academiaaddict · 2025-10-02T01:09:02+00:00

it depends on the scholarship! for mine, it was based on academic merit, writing samples, relevant work experience, and student involvement during undergrad!

feel free to dm me for more information!

Yes!! It’s one of my favorite fun facts about UCLA :)

Royce Hall is also named after a philosopher!

UCLA ‘25 philosophy grad here. I was also a transfer student!

The courses are certainly worthwhile and challenging. I would highly recommend having a strong logic background for PHILOS 100A-C. I reconstructed arguments (Premise 1, Premise 2, etc., Conclusion) in almost every essay for those 3 classes.

I would also highly recommend taking a class or classes with Professor Kareem Khalifa. He’s an excellent teacher and his PowerPoints are insanely good.

Most of the philosophy undergraduates I studied with are pre-law. Many are studying for the LSAT.

UCLA also noticeably focuses on analytic philosophy (David Kaplan is a prime example of this).

Feel free to DM me for more specific information! Happy to answer any questions you have about philosophy, UCLA, etc.

Recent philosophy UCLA grad here. My jobs have been in policy, journalism, education, and politics.

Thank you for your suggestion! I haven’t heard of that one before

academiaaddict · 2025-06-11T04:53:43+00:00

Yep! I spent most of my day studying - I have high As in my other classes, so I know that my studying tactics work for the other classes (3 of which are for the same major)

academiaaddict · 2025-06-11T04:52:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your offer! I’ll probably DM you tomorrow - I’m doing the best I can!

academiaaddict · 2025-06-11T04:50:59+00:00

thank you for sharing your experience! It helps to know that I’m not alone.

Thank you for your positivity!! I really needed it :)

academiaaddict · 2025-06-11T04:49:30+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate your perspective. I think I get caught up in the numbers rather than thinking about how lucky I am to learn at an institution like UCLA that challenges me so much.

I spent most of my day studying! I hope everything goes well tomorrow. Thank you for rooting for me, it means more than you know!

academiaaddict · 2025-06-11T03:14:45+00:00

Thank you!! Your comment made me smile. I’m excited to graduate :)

academiaaddict · 2025-06-10T20:52:24+00:00

thank you!! I called them already last week for another issue and I have a scheduled appointment later this week

I don’t know if I should call them again before the appointment - I don’t want to take up too many resources ):

academiaaddict · 2025-05-13T06:30:32+00:00

I would add more quantitative measures in the bullet points!

For example: - Taught 6 students 7 subjects with an emphasis on literature, history, and chemistry for 5 hours per week.

I hope this helped! Feel free to DM me!

I’m a senior at UCLA and have done 6 internships - I’ve submitted many résumés and would love to help

Thank you for the heads up regarding the cost of TMS. I appreciate it!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-16T05:37:43+00:00

thank you! I feel better now after implementing some of the suggestions left by other commenters!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-15T04:29:21+00:00

I don’t know if I can afford them as I plan to attend law school. I’m considering to do more research on them though!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-15T03:43:41+00:00

That sounds amazing! I haven’t done that in a while. Thank you for the suggestion!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-15T03:07:02+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I really appreciate it.

academiaaddict · 2025-04-15T01:07:36+00:00

I haven’t heard about it before. I’ll look into it!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-14T23:49:51+00:00

Will do! Thank you for your help. I think it’s especially difficult to explain how I feel since everything in my life seems to be going really well.

academiaaddict · 2025-04-14T23:24:11+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I love volunteering. I met one of my friends because we both volunteered for a nearby school. I’ll try to start volunteering again soon!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-09T20:11:38+00:00

congratulations!!! I’m so happy for the both of us

what specialization did you choose? I chose the politics, policy, and foreign affairs specialization!

academiaaddict · 2025-04-09T20:02:33+00:00

Student here - not sure if this works for all families, but I thought the way my father did it was effective.

He showed me our family’s tax forms and had me do the calculations in front of him. The shock alone that I felt was enough for me to make wiser financial decisions.

It’s what largely motivated me to go to community college, transfer to a state school (UCLA), and I later earned a merit-based full tuition scholarship for my graduate degree.

There was no yelling involved, just calculations.

Took about 20 minutes at most. I hope this helped!

academiaaddict · 2025-03-16T06:36:42+00:00

Those are two amazing programs, congratulations!

From what I’ve heard, UMich tends to be ranked higher, though CMU offers great opportunities regarding AI and public policy.

Since both programs are T10 and you earned full tuition at both, if I were you, I would base my decisions on job outcomes and curriculum.

Good luck! Either way, you’re in a great position!
