Pretty sure first round decisions for UVA have been finalized by now. UVA is in extra high demand for religious studies right now--especially their TEC program--so the competition is going to be rough =[ I hope to at least get waitlisted.
Guess I have been rejected... bugger me...

Someone got into Stanford... Granted, into the modern religious thought, ethics & philosophy program. But I am guessing it means the Stanford results should be released soon. *stress*

If memory serves correct, and the results page seems to suggest, Vandy notifies the last week of February.
EDIT: I believe Vanderbilt is only accepting one Historical Studies student this round and it'll be someone in Reformation, so that means it'll go to Paul Lim for "deciding" who gets it. I don't know if that's specifically the tract you applied for but given your sig, I assumed so. Sometimes they'll take a second student in the field if funding permits but that's sporadic.
I applied to Historical Studies but I focus on American Religious History.

Does anyone know when Vandy sends out anything...?

No idea.

Woke up this AM to an e-mail from Northwestern telling me to check the portal. I already knew it was a rejection since I didn't get an interview. I'm more pissed that it came on a weekend. Is nothing sacred?
Sorry to hear that.

I know I am going insane because I keep checking my inbox, seeing if Stanford has gotten back to me, only to remind myself that they are 3 hours behind me and hoping it means I will hear later in the day....

I went to HDS, so I may be biased--OK, I certainly am--but, I can't more strongly recommend HDS to you. It will open many doors for you. Funding is usually at least 50%, if not more. Given the choice between 50% at HDS and 75% at BU, I'd pick HDS in a heartbeat.
Also, I didn't feel like a small fish in a big pond at Harvard. Rather, one is a pampered big fish... Really, it opens up a lot of doors.
I second that motion.

I'm just wondering if Harvard is worth the potential debt (whatever amount) and also if it's going to be a small fish big pond environment where at BU I would think I would be a bigger fish in a smaller pond...
HDS funding is typically very generous. What until you get both offers but remember you take classes at HDS from BU and BU from HDS.

This is the funniest and purest thing I have read in a long time. I laugh because it is true, I cry because it is me.

In terms of the long view, Harvard is Harvard...

You mean Religion in the Ancient Mediterranean?
Yes.

Fordham University has been calling around this morning about the NT results.

In my experience, you want to balance both sadly. Get into a good and prestigious program/school and make sure they give you decent funding... Sadly, it seems to be the state of the market and the field.

They likely met in January to work the application pile into a short list. It would make sense, timing-wise, that they would finalize their picks the 13th. NELC also has a publicly accessible calendar with a department meeting listed for the day after, on the 14th. I doubt anyone will hear anything next week. The week after would make sense.
We might get rejections next week if we don't make the cut perhaps?

I applied to the History of Religion specifically for African Religions at UVA, and have heard nothing. I have also heard nothing from Rice. :/
I got word from Rice yesterday, but that was for "Religion in America." No news from UVA for me as well.

UVA, Rice University, Harvard. Harvard is the only one I've heard back from, they couldn't let me in the PhD program but gave me a week to apply for the Master's program, which I'm currently doing.
Did you apply to the History of Religion in America at UVA and have you heard from them? Did you get into Rice?

I would value that.
