NewPhD Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I have heard from 3 out of the 4 schools I applied to, and am thinking about just making a decision now. I have no idea when I'll hear from the 4th place and may give up on it, so that I can make a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same way, though at least I know 3 of 4 schools I'm waiting on are only just starting to release acceptances, or haven't yet. It's UVA that is really killing me since they presumably notified admits 3ish weeks ago and I've still heard nothing. Every time I tell my partner about a rejection she feels bad for me and I have to insist its OK because at this point, I just want to know where I'm going to end up and every rejection just narrows down the possibilities further.

Historical results data, from the looks of it. Also they seem to have vetted some candidates already since several have noted being bumped down to MTS applications.

seung Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I received official word from UVA of being placed on the waitlist last night. My POI had already told me unofficially a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarthUser Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 For those waiting for Boston University Graduate GSAS, I just received an email from the Director of Graduate Department of Religious Studies asking if I want to transfer my application to the School of Theology. His reasoning is that due to a shake-up of the Religion Department (from what I heard, they're consolidating two of the tracks into one), they are not admitting any students this year. PM me if you want to know more about the difference between the BU School of Theology and Department of Religion, and I can speak from experience having taken classes between the two programs and having picked up on key similarities/differences.

I plan to follow-up with my STM advisor Christopher Evans (who's at the School of Theology and technically also in the Graduate Department of Religion) to confirm that this is the case. But to be honest, I would not be surprised if they're not taking anyone because of this shake-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
