Awesome, thanks so much!

I've had the same question. I just assumed it was 4 essays of any length. The admissions staff is incredibly helpful, though. Let me know if you contact them.

I've submitted my Mdiv Duke app, and will also be applying to Vanderbilt, Yale, Princeton, and SMU. Duke said on the campus visit it would be about 6 weeks (which will feel like years). Anyone heard if they're quicker?

Howdy all, I am beginning my search for the right M.Div program for me. I will be seeking ordination in the Cumberland Presbyterian church, with the possibility of getting my Ph.D eventually. I'm looking for a school that will offer me top class academics and great preparation for the ministry. My short list is: Vanderbilt, Duke, Candler, Perkins, Yale, Princeton and Harvard. I just got back from my visit at Vandy and loved it. Are there any schools I should add to my list? Which school(s) fit what I'm looking for? Thanks!
