After looking back at my application, I realized I uploaded the rough drafts of my writing samples rather than the nice edited version. It was amateur hour during my application submission, apparently.

Best of luck! If you ever change your mind, I think those universities would be happy to welcome you back based on your acceptances. Hope to buy you a pint at SBL in the future (the lectures are free, I believe).

Was informed of my rejection from Oxford today. Not too worried, it wasn't a great fit any way and I have another offer I'll be accepting. You win some, you lose some. Congrats to everyone!

Congratulations! Did you contact your POI or the graduate admissions folks? I'll probably send an email tonight.

Did you end up emailing Oxford? I have another offer to which I have to respond by April 10. I'll probably take it if I don't hear back from them soon.

Does anyone know when Vandy's NT PhD program will open back up? I've seen a few postings regarding faculty issues a while ago, but nothing else. I would be interested in it next year if I didn't get in to a program this year, though I am not sure if it will ever open back up.

Still waiting! Several have gotten responses in the results page, though I wonder if our particular sub-fields are still meeting...

Best of luck to both of you! I'm actually applying to the Mst+DPhil scheme, but at least one scholarship (e.g., FOSTER) covers either DPhil or Mst+DPhil. That's really what I'm hoping for, though I doubt I'll hear back in the next few days either way. I've heard (through another UK uni) that funding won't be announced until April due to a certain deadline tied to the UK government (I assume Clarendon, etc funding decisions). Anyone else have any thoughts on that?

Anyone want to claim the Oxford DPhil posted in the results?

Anyone heard back from Oxford -- either Mst or MPhil?

Best of luck Remington!

Congrats! Unfortunately, my good friend was the first in line and has accepted the PTS NT spot.

For those still wondering, the Princeton NT PhD has been filled.

Good to know! I think BC or BU might be worth pursuing and they may be a better fit. I've never taken a class there, but I've heard good things. If you do end up pursuing HDS, you would benefit from any Gordon-Conwell class, particularly Advanced Greek with Dr. Ciampa, who works as a Bible translator with Nida. I think you'd enjoy GCTS, but it's probably more of the same that SEBTS provided you, though perhaps not as conservative. As I said before, I'm not sure HDS is a great fit for you, but GCTS would certainly allow you have a bit of familiarity in the midst of a different world. The commute's a pain though.

I know I'm late, but I thought I'd chime in as well. I am not sure HDS is a good fit for you unless you are interested in pursuing a PhD at Harvard, not a ThD at HDS, and only if you are interested in textual criticism or related studies (e.g., various communities' reception of manuscripts). It sounds like you are more interested in linguistics in general (e.g., discourse analysis). I don't think HDS has an especially great program if that's what you want to do.
