Somebody posted on the results page that a lot of people have said "no" to Harvard and added that it could be because the Committee for the Study of Religion is in a faculty transition phase.What exactly does that mean?I am debating whether to go to Harvard or Emory and it is not an easy decision at all.Can someone clarify things.Thanks.
I have a good problem(if i may say so).I have been accepted to the Religion PhD programs at Harvard and Emory and I am in a dilemma as to where to go.For most people Harvard seems like the obvious choice but I visited Emory and I really like my prospective adviser as well as the other faculty and graduate students.I do not think I will have that same level of comradery at Harvard.My prospective advisers at both schools re friends so there is the prospect having the other person serve as e outside member of my disertation committee.Any advice?
I am the one who posted on the results page about being accepted to the Religion PhD program at Rice.The Secrretary responded to my email and said my acceptance letter was put in the mail today.So I guess we can all expect the letters by the end of the week(at least people who have been accepted).All the best to everyone.
Just to let everyone know, I just got an email this morning that I have been accepted to the Religion PhD program at Harvard(not the ThD).Official letters with financial aid stuff will be coming next week.
