Good Discussion on Applying to Philosophy Programs

There is a worthwhile discussion going on at Leiter Reports:
http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2008/11/applying-twice.html

It began on the theme of "applying to the same school twice" (i.e.,
getting rejected one year from a school and applying again), but there
are a number of useful comments on the role/value of MA programs,
assembling one's application components, etc.
