Thanks for the advice! I applied for systematic theology. -

Has everyone who was waiting to hear from Notre Dame heard from them by now? At this point I have no delusion that I was accepted, however, I still have not received word either way. Granted as I previously mentioned, they did not waive my GRE requirement within my application till the end of February and I am convinced because of this oversight my application was never reviewed and has been forgotten. -

I am so sorry to hear that! Well it if is any consolation I didn't hear anything today, so I am quite positive that means I didn't get in either. I applied for the systematics program. A stupid question, but, did your submission status on the online portal ever change from anything other than submitted? My LLM is in securities/finance. -

I have a JD and an LLM (a specialized post-doc law degree) and practiced corporate law for about 10 years. Upon the advice of several directors of masters programs when I applied last time I went back and am finishing a MA in philosophy right now to use as a bridge program into theology. All the schools I applied to waived the GRE requirement based on the advanced degrees. -

I understand. My first time around a couple years ago was a train wreck to say the least! Well, I become more dejected about ND by the day, but, I was fortunate to get into another program so I have a fallback. -

I completely understand. Their admissions process seems rather a mess. As I hold a couple advanced degrees the GRE was supposed to be waived, but, it was never waived in the system till the end of February. I have no clue if my application even made it to the department of theology. Regardless, it is almost the end of March and still no word. It is beyond frustrating.
