    Grading is different in the UK to the US but I got the equivalent of a high B, not enough to get funding for the PhD I wanted to write on thought experiments! (Required an A and I was 4% short.)

    The main complaint was that I spent too much time doing an exegesis of what other philosophers thought and not enough time developing my own ideas. To be fair I think that makes for better content for sharing here since what professional philosophers think about this issue is probably more interesting than what this wannabe philosopher thought.
