2017-18 PGR U.S. Top 50 Results

Moving to the front from December 7th with an update and corrections due to a transcription error.

Professor Brogaard and I are in the process of cleaning and calculating the results of the PGR survey, the final results of which will be appear at a redesigned PGR site hosted, as before, by Wiley-Blackwell. Since application season is at hand in the U.S., however, we thought it would be useful to share some initial results here: the top 50 programs overall in the U.S. The overall mean is listed while the median, mode, and confidence intervals will be provided on the new PGR site. Additional glimpses of the results will be shared here while Wiley-Blackwell produces the full results. Finally, thank you to the 300 philosophers who participated in this year’s survey.
