declined HB at ND and Duke. Hope that helps someone!
Thanks! That was me - very excited to be attending ND in the Fall!
-
I know some of you heard from the Catholic University for theology quite a while ago. Has anyone heard from the interdisciplinary program in early Christian studies?
-
I got the email today telling me that I was on the wait list, but it didn't tell me what place I was. I decided to email the program director, and he told me my position.
Thanks - I also just sent him an e-mail.
-
For the other(s) who was/were wait-listed at Marquette (PhD), was there any indication in your e-mail regarding what place you are on the wait list...?

Hi all,
I will be interviewed in a few weeks, and I am wondering what the most commonly asked questions are in interviews for doctoral programs.
I'm sure a number of you have been through lots of interviews before, and I think it might be helpful to compile questions for those preparing for interviews in the future.
Thanks!

Congrats to those who received interview invites from Notre Dame! Anyone know what discipline they were for? I applied for CJA, so I'm wondering if all the invites went out already.
It seems likely that all of them have gone out. I received an invitation on Saturday (having applied for CJA), and it seems some other people did on Sunday. The e-mail said that they invited approximately twice as many applicants as they can offer spots to. So this is a real interview situation.
-
Yeah. I feel pretty bummed out about it (ND) to be honest.
It is by far my best fit. I've been in touch with a couple of profs who were very encouraging. Competitive numbers. Very good references. Forthcoming publications, and a few book reviews. Conference presentations. I've been working so hard for this.... Maybe you guys are right though....
-
Looks like someone heard from ND.... ?
-
So, did anyone on here receive an interview notification from Vanderbilt?
Do you know about the 'result search'? It looks like a couple of people heard the other day....
-
So, who got the Duke interviews? Anyone here? (Not me....)
-
Nothing from ND yet....
What subdiscipline? (I'm CJA)
-
Any word from Notre Dame? Seems that usually get word out re: interviews around this time.
-
FYI, I emailed Dr. Goodacre at Duke and he said that interview notifications go out early next week. Not sure who is posting on the results board. Anyone want to shed some light on this?
Was it wrong from me to have interpreted this as meaning that I would get an e-mail first thing this morning...?
-
Honestly, I'm not sure when it changed! I had some trouble with the system early on. I am also not 'banking' on the British schools I am applying to, since they are notorious for having scanty funds (at least for international students - which I am, being Canadian). However, if funding were forthcoming I would be much more excited!
-
Has anyone heard anything from Duke Graduate School? Not Divinity.
No word on my end yet.... Best to post this in the other thread (PhD application chit chat).
-
has anyone been checking camsis for cambridge results? any movement?
Still "Under Consideration by Degree Committee," after having had an interview. You?
-
Anybody else apply at Florida State or Catholic University?
Have applied to the Catholic University, though in the centre for early Christian studies, not in theology. No news yet....
-
Columbia interview notifications are out!
Phone call? generic e-mail? letter?
-
Hi All!
First update: I have heard back from BC and have an interview next week. Any ideas on what I should be prepared for (this is my first interview)?
I haven't heard from any other programs; anyone heard from Emory or Duke yet? They seem to usually notify about interviews pretty early in the process.
Haven't heard from Duke yet! (not that I necessarily would....)
-
Is anyone here terribly optimistic...? Isn't graduate school simply an exercise in self-abasement?

Seems like we're a little slow in getting started this year.... So name your sub-discipline and programs applied to - then let us know when you receive rejections (or the rare acceptance).
Sub-discipline: early Christianity
Programs applied to:
Duke - early Christianity
Yale - ancient ChristianityNotre Dame - Christianity and Judaism in antiquity
Columbia - Christianity in Late Antiquity
Marquette - historical theology
CUA - early Christianity interdisciplinary graduate program
Oxford (still working on application)
Cambridge
Best of luck to everyone!
PhD Applications Fall '18 Season
in Religion
Posted · Edited by TheCappadocian
Don't let the current 'rebuilding' of NT at Notre Dame put you off from applying. Both Fitzgerald and Lincicum will take students, and in the next two years two more NT faculty will be added (to account for Moss's departure and D'Angelo's retirement). At the same time, the early Christianity faculty is very strong (top in the country), and plenty of opportunities to study with Classics faculty.
I should add that I am a current CJA PhD student, and, to @Onthenahar, if you are interested in 2nd and 3rd century, CJA is probably a better fit. If what you are interested in is history of doctrine, then HC might be better; but for anything else (social history, history of biblical interpretation, etc.) CJA likely makes more sense.
