Yes.

Ugh to schools that won't release aid decisions until the first week of March and want a decision within about 7 days. Perhaps they'll budge and give me another week.

Accepted to Union today. No word on funding yet.

I think I'm the only one here applying to Union but spoke with someone yesterday and the rolling admissions process is a bit off. While decisions are made on a rolling basis, applicants aren't actually notified until sometime in March.

But Ludlow's lawyer says otherwise, so clearly it must be otherwise.

I don't remember what date I asked to be notified by. Probably March 15, given Yale notifies then. On that note, my application to Union was complete on 1/13 and I notified that I would have a decision within four weeks, at the latest. That time has come and gone, is it "okay" for me to now call and inquire on the status?

You're going to need something a bit more substantial than a statement from the accused's lawyer that he's innocent. Nice try though.

Are you an MDiv or MTS? I ask because you mention decisions being made yesterday but we have someone saying decisions and notifications (at least one, anyway) were made even earlier.

I'm presuming Vandy decisions did not go out today? Haven't seen anything here (obviously) or in the results DB. Well, maybe this upcoming week.

Isn't Claremont's worse than GTU? I know /jokeflysoverhead

Did somebody go through and delete entries? There's only two. EDIT: Figured it out, the other entries were hidden. Not sure why.

I never took a class dealing with Luther or really ever read any of his writings, but I'm heard repeatedly that the guy strongly encouraged heavy drinking (particularly when faced with despair) and that he was extremely fond of equitable sexual practices. Going so far as to say that if a man was unable to please his wife sexually, she's entitled to take on a lover. Sounds like a good man.

Likewise. I just want to get this part over with, tired of the nervousness over checking email, app webpages, and the mailbox.

Illinois has several degrees of what we've been largely calling sexual assault - criminal sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, criminal sexual abuse, aggravated sexual abuse, etc. So yes, rape in Illinois isn't a legal category in of itself. In the criminal code for Illinois, rape is only mentioned twice and both times it's used in the phrase of "any of the offenses formerly known as rape."

Asp isn't saying she refuses to attend a school with a negative reputation. She's saying she refuses to attend a school that would employ a professor who has a credible reputation/history of sexual assault. There's a difference. Keep in mind that the school's investigation concluded he A NU committee also came to the conclusion that Ludlow should be fired. Now, as I personally learned from Boulder's situation - not all universities actually forbid sexual relationships between professors and students. Perhaps Ludlow's defense will be it was consensual or that nothing happened. Either way, the woman in question was violated (keep in mind - she gets to claim that) and two investigations (presuming the dean and the committee operated independently) found Ludlow at fault.

I love Kirk. Sole reason why I took a seminar on Religious Existentialism, though I fell in love with others over the semester too.

While the article doesn't say he raped the student in question. We do know that the student passed out in his apartment and awoke in his bed. Now, while it would be nice to think that the professor put her in the bed to sleep off the alcohol - his prior actions say he wasn't concerned about her well being.

Probably Spinoza. Nietzsche certainly for the most overrated Several years ago I would've said Hegel but that's b/c as a Freshman I took a 19th century seminar that was heavy on him. As I soon learned, Hegel expects you to know what was done before him. So, it was an uphill battle that semester but I'm comfortable with him now.

Looking at the results posted here: In 2013 Vandy began notifying MDiv applicants the second week of February. However in 2012 they were notified the last week of February. So...here's to hoping that it'll be this week but in reality, it could be another two weeks. Either way, it's March 15 for Yale so it's not like I can make a real decision until they're all in.

I'd imagine 80%. At least such an offer would make me consider it more strongly. I'd have to look at the site again but I think Vandy said their packages average 60%.

Not that I know of. Vandy decisions should be out relatively soon though. I'm worried about Union myself. Well past the decision deadline they told me but too scared to call.

Thanks for catching that, not sure how I messed that up. Makes me feel better about not having to wait until March for two schools.

There's a thread further down for '14. I think some have heard back from Emory, Duke, and maybe PTS. It's going on 4 weeks and nothing from Union yet. Vandy and Yale I won't hear from until March 15.
