Southern Baptist roots, current affiliation is nominal.

Got my notice on the 1st, accepted, no funding. MDiv. I don't know whether or not they don't like my critique of or they just don't have funding, but either way, no big deal. Niebuhr

THAT guy

Is Candler your first choice?

Anyone frustrated by Union Theological Seminary's application? It's the only one I'm applying to that's all paper and no electronic submission. I see that they get back to you in about 3 weeks usually.

Oooo, Oxford. Congrats.
For me, it's just nice to get rid of the nightmares about not getting accepted anywhere.
I should also mention that one of my colleagues here at the University of Tennessee was also accepted to Candler.

I was also just accepted for an MDiv at Candler School of Theology (Emory). Evidently they posted over the weekend, but I find it odd that their deadline of Feb. 1st hasn't even passed and they're admitting me. Hopefully this means they'll fund me well.

I have a feeling it will be exploding mid February - mid March.

Schools (generally) give interviews to the applicants they are seriously considering. So, don't think of it as a first cut. Sure it's the first cut that the applicant sees, but in reality it might be the 4th or 5th cut. At least that's what I'm going to let myself believe. Although, the above is correct about not receiving the invitation to an interview as signaling that you will likely not be admitted to that program.

Yeah, I expect a result around 02/8/11 still.

I wonder how that will effect the prompt decisions that Candler normally makes... I was counting on them to give me news about a month in advance of everyone else.

A reminder to YDS applicants. Those who earn the Marquand scholarship WILL get phone calls for admission a few days ahead of everyone. However, that does not mean that if you don't receive a phone call, you've been denied. On the contrary, many who do not receive a phone call receive tuition remission. The phone calls are only for 5k stipends.

Also, Leadership Candler acceptance carries with it a full tuition remission, however in attending the 1 or 2 day wine and dine session, they make decisions on stipends.

Best of luck to all!

Usually 3-5 days before
