  1. Hi all! I'm heading into my final year of undergrad, and, consequently, I'm beginning to plan for grad school. I'm wondering if you all could help me discern where I have a chance of getting in with decent financial aid. Apologies in advance for the long post - I just want to make sure that I have all my credentials out there. I am currently maintaining a 4.0 GPA and will be graduating with honors from a small, Christian, accredited liberal arts university, where I am studying Theology and English Literature. During the school year, I am actively involved in my university's Honors Congress and work as both a writing advisor for my university's writing center and a student tutor for the Theology department. I worked last summer as an editorial intern for an award-winning Christian publication and also have experience as a summer camp counselor. I studied abroad in the UK last year, and I am conducting original academic research in both of my major fields this summer through my home university. This upcoming year, I will be the Vice President of my university's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta (the National English Honors Society), of which I am a member. I have not yet taken the GRE, but took a practice test completely blind, for which I received the following scores: 161 (Verbal), 155 (Quantitative), 4 (Analytical Writing). Standardized testing has never been my strong suit, especially standardized writing. But, that being said, I am currently enrolled in a course to help me boost my scores and am hoping to reach 164 (Verbal), 160 (Quantitative), and 6 (Analytical Writing). In the future, I hope to pursue a PhD and join the academic community through teaching and writing. Here are the schools and programs that I am most interested in applying to, in order of preference: Boston University (MDiv) University of Chicago (MA) Harvard Divinity School (MTS) Princeton Theological Seminary (MATS) Duke Divinity School (MTS) Union Theological Seminary (MA) New York University (MA) Loyola University Chicago (MDiv) Do you think I have a chance of getting into any of these places? If so, do you think I will receive a decent amount of financial aid? Are there any other places that you think would be worth taking a look at? Thank you so much for all of your help!
