    Decisions for Drew are out! Enjoy everyone!

    Potential news for those applying to Brite, per an internal calendar they’re meeting on the 19th to decide the fate of applicants. Per my contact, letters will then be drafted and mailed out, set to hopefully arrive no later than March 1st. Departments have already finalized their list of preferred candidates and will present them to the full committee on the 19th for a vote. The vote is just a matter of tradition, fyi. In other news, Drew has traditionally announced this week of February but always gives themselves until the 28th. So maybe?

    I was waitlisted for ThD , got the email 2/11. I can't complain though, Duke is a stellar school and originally applied for PhD but was asked to "consider" transferring my app over the ThD.

    Some of the people that were at Intersections while I was (2014) were offered admission while there. I didn't get the vibe, while there, that they were interviewing/screening us but it's certainly possible. I had already been offered admission and a very generous financial aid package before I arrived so I was VERY much at ease while there and thus likely oblivious to a lot of things.

    Assuming you’re asking about UoT: They’ve traditionally sent acceptances out in one big batch. Some waitlisted applicants are notified late Feb to early March so there’s still a chance. UoT is known for not updating the applicant’s portal regarding their status until sometime late in spring, sometimes summer. UoT has also traditionally not notified waitlisted applicants so there’s still hope!

    If they were to announce next week and they haven't contacted you, unfortunately I think it's probably too late. I certainly hope not though and I realize that this is a nightmare. I figured their system would alert you to something missing. Hopefully they'll take it as an error on their end and work something out with you!

    Nothing has come across the Results forum either. Last week of Feb, first week of March is standard for Chicago for MA results.

    I always advise to err on the side of caution and dress formally for anything that constitutes an interview. I don't know how Baylor specifically schedules their interviews but if there's an official interview, I'd certainly dress formally for that. If there's a social event I'd probably stick to business casual for those. Save the showing up in blue jeans and a hoodie for when you're officially in.

    I forget when Emory's interview weekend is but I'm pretty sure it was last weekend. If you weren't invited to the interview weekend, it's safe to presume you were rejected. If you attended the interview weekend then you'll know your fate 1-2 weeks later - they tend to notify really quickly.

    Any of your top schools will have access to Sanskrit resources, so Harvard (perhaps any school part of BTI), Yale, Chicago, Duke, maybe Princeton.

    We had a guy at Vandy that did a quasi-joint MDiv:MD and while doing his general surgery residency was doing a PhD in Religion, both still at Vandy. That said, he’s the kind of guy you see one of in your life. Edit: Yale has/did a joint program with forestry that always looked really cool.

    It's entirely possible that their interview candidates don't use GradCafe, we're an extremely small portion of the applicant pool.
  13. xypathos
    Vandy tends to start notifying top applicants the second week of February but many don’t hear until March.

    Congratulations @JDD!

    Last cycle I got my acceptance to TST late mid February, I think somewhere around the 20th. I was notified about two weeks later though that there would be no funding for American students and was referred to FAFSA to file for federal loans.
  16. xypathos
    Yea, we should start hearing back from some schools in the next 1-2 weeks, though several schools won't notify until March 15 or immediately thereabouts. More to your point, yes - some schools notify rejections first, some last, and some (looking at your UVA!) have a reputation for not letting you know anything.

    In addition to @Averroes MD's points, it's relatively few schools that will kick you back to the M* level. So, even without a Master's, you risk still getting rejected. Now, you could ask the school, in the case of rejection, to consider you for Master's admissions but that's a tricky gamble to take.

    I'm not sure what you two are speaking of, @SmallFishBigPond seems to have edited their post, it's just a white quote box on my end.
  19. xypathos
    It seems off but I can't confirm/deny it. No one has claimed an acceptance on the Results forum and they were still interviewing candidates last week, per an internal calendar. It's possible that they notified a couple of high priority candidates but BC notifies by phone calls, not emails - it's not their standard procedure.

    Faculty

    My contact at Yale has confirmed that they've finalized everyone they care to interview but not everyone has been interviewed yet.
  22. xypathos
    We try but there's only so many distractions to go around!

    Competitive interviews are when there’s six slots but you interview say twelve people. Generally they’re in person and often a mix of single (you and a faculty member and/or you and several faculty) and group events though the group events are often more of a chance to observe social dynamics. Non-competitive is if there’s six slots then you generally interview those six. Sometimes more get interviewed but it’s to build a waitlist.

    I went in 2014. It’s mostly a meet and greet of their top accepted students. It’s a way for the school to now sale themselves to you. They have their top faculty on hand, they bring in big name alumni, wine and dine you at some really nice restaurants. Some of us went out drinking with some of their faculty and they showed us their favorite spots in Manhattan, Harlem, and Brooklyn. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it moved Union to the top of my list but was offered a far better package elsewhere.

    Panic

    xypathos replied to ShewantsthePhD101's topic in Religion

    Haha, if past cycles are anything to rely on - it should be fairly quiet this week and next, and then hopefully, the floodgates open for 1-2 weeks, then silence til mid-March.
