Just spoke to the admissions offices at Notre Dame and Duke Divinity, and they said they are hoping to release MTS decisions by Friday.
I am not bothering to wait for Duke Div. I do not think their program is the right fit for me regardless. I am off to New Haven. Yale, here I come!

Rory chose Yale over Harvard in Gilmore Girls, so it has that going for it.
HAHA Nice

Rejected by HDS. All well
-
Got in to the MARc in Bible as well with full tuition scholarship.
Jealous! Seriously, well done.
-
Congrats! Is it for the MAR or MARc?
MARc in Bible.
-
Just got the email. Nice offer of $14,500. Hopefully some more are gonna come in.
-
I got into Yale! No idea about funding.
-
I hope you're right! But why would YDS' date of release matter for HDS? Do they coordinate these kinds of things?
No, just a hunch. My logic is if people are applying to HDS, they are applying to YDS as well and given the "brand" I figured they would want students to compare sooner rather then later. But just a hunch. Plus from previous years from what I am told, they have been released at close dates.

I fear we may be waiting out the HDS decisions longer than we think. According to Harvard's website, their spring break is scheduled for 3/14-3/22. If that's the case, then I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear from them til 3/23 or later since offices will be closed.
I doubt they would make us wait that long. Especially since YDS is releasing their results today at 12:30pm EST. My guess is probably today or tomorrow. Perhaps no later than Wednesday.

E-mailed the office this morning, here's the response:
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, as office policy, we are unable to specify the exact date in March that we will release decisions. That said, I completely understand your concern as you weigh your other options and anxiously await news from HDS. It is with this type of concern in mind that most graduate schools of religion have agreed upon April 15 as the universal response deadline, for the express reason that students like yourself will not be forced to make tough decisions without having heard back from all schools. While other schools might pressure you to respond sooner, most cannot officially require you to commit before this deadline. I would encourage you to remind any such schools about this universal policy, as we will not be releasing our decisions any earlier than mid-March.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions
I think it's safe to say we will have at least the weekend to ponder what our future holds, or at least ponder whether or not it will include Harvard.
Enjoy the weekend!

Thanks for doing that. Hopefully we know by the 15th. Would be great if YDS and HDS released around the same time.
-
Does the "middle of the month" technically mean Monday?
Probably at this rate. With YDS releasing on Sunday, I would not be shocked if it is Monday for HDS.
-
You just accurately described the last two days (ahem.. a week) of my life! I also called HDS and was told that decisions would be sent out "in the middle of the month", whatever that means
I think I need to find something else to do...I also called them at the beginning of the week and they said the same thing, "in the middle of the month, so please be patient."
Sigh* Back to writing.
-
Perhaps it's a good time to practice mindfulness as we wait for HDS results....instead of anxiously refreshing the application page, this thread, and the results search page
Narrrrr.
-
Yeah, Friday the 13th might not be a good time to release admissions results.
LOL!
-
A lot of schools are on spring break right now, so we might not hear anything further until Monday.
Yeah, as it gets beyond midday, I have my doubts.
-
I hope it's tomorrow! I don't know if my heart can handle waiting til next week...
I hope so!
-
90% tuition scholarship at PTS and opportunity for work study. Makes accepting their offer all the more tempting. Still need to hear back from Notre Dame and Duke, though.
Well done!

Christian origins and the New Testament. Heading more towards the early second century with the legacy of Paul and the rise of Marcionism.
-
I received the same email. Does anyone know how Yale handles funding announcements? Will we find out that day or later?
I believe it is all in the same announcement.

UPDATE FROM YDS
Dear ****,
Several people have emailed or called, wondering when YDS will release our admissions decisions.
We understand your anxiety; some of us remember what it was like to wait to hear if we got into YDS, too, and we know how tense it can be.
That’s why we want to reassure you that our decisions will be released on Sunday, March 15th. On Sunday we will send an email informing you that your application status has been updated, with a link to your applicant status page.
Lots of spam filters catch this email, however. It is important you log into your application on Sunday, March 15th after 12:30 pm EST to see your application update & link to your decision letter.
Sincerely,
The YDS Admissions Team -
KU offered me a 60% scholarship. In there letter they noted the department has had to make some serious budget cuts this year. No GTA positions are on offer as well. Kind of disappointing.
-
Just found out I got into Emory-Candler with a 75% scholarship!
-
I too am also anxiously awaiting news from Yale. I applied to the MARc in Bible.
Me as well, good luck!
