  1. Is it bad to admit in an SOP that you aren't entirely sure what you want to concentrate on but to make it clear that the program offers what you are interested in. (I am interested in Hinduism, Buddhism and Psychology). My point is one of my programs offers many courses in each but I still need to decide which I want to focus on. Is it a bad idea to say this in the SOP?
  2. I want to study Medieval Japanese Buddhism while in grad school. Curious to see if anyone else is considering or already are studying Buddhism?
  3. Is it true that if you do not go to a top tier institution for a MA and PhD that it is impossible to obtain tenure? I have heard this idea from a few people. Thoughts?
  4. Doubleshot, I have applied to a dozen teaching positions that didn't require me to have a license over the past couple of years with no luck. I even applied to be an ISS teacher and couldn't get hired for that. I've just been reading articles and books to keep up to date in the topics I'm interested in. I've been working some really crappy jobs but they pay well and have been saving for grad school tuition. Trying not to go into crushing debt. I applied to UChicago, Vanderbilt, Georgia State and UNC Charlotte.
  5. I am applying to graduate school for an MA in religious studies. I am worried about my chances. I had a 3.8 GPA undergrad but then screwed myself and got a D in a class. It tanked my GPA to 3.13. I was devastated but it was my fault. I was immature. I address this in my SOP and take the blame. That was in 2011. Fast forward almost three years later and I feel that I have grown up and am ready to go back to school. I have three LOR from my professors where I graduated. They knew me as a great student. I got a 4 on the AW portion of the GRE. Not as good as it could have been while I was writing during my undergrad but not to shabby either IMO. Am I doomed?
