I got into Harvard MTS and Yale MAR. Harvard gave me full tuition but I have yet to hear of Yale's financial aid. These were the only two schools I applied to, so it's not much of a choice, but still, this will require some thinking... I'm leaning toward Harvard, but I like Yale's study-abroad program and I hear the Yale girls are more attractive. Because I know they'll be all over us divinity school students.

Thank you. This was very helpful. I guess now it's just a matter of wait & see!

Anyone here know anything about applying to these divinity schools? I'm applying to the Masters of Arts in Religion (MAR) program at Yale and the Masters of Theological Studies (MTS) program at Harvard. I am an '08 ugrad -- so I have little work experience. 3.41 ugrad GPA @ Stanford (English, math majors with an interesting transcript -- I either failed my classes or aced them) 1570 GRE (800M/770V, 4.5 Writing) -- Praise Jesus (except for the writing score part) Good prof recs and hopefully good essays (as it is my dream to attend divinity school) "Ethnic" -- I have also lived in many different countries Only $10,000 in the bank -- will need lots of need-based financial aid I graduated from a good ugrad college and have pretty good GRE scores, but my ugrad GPA and transcript are quite iffy. Anyone know about average ugrad GPAs for Harvard and Yale divinity schools? I'd expect them to be a bit lower than the business & law schools, surely? But my biggest concern is the financial aid. I will require a lot of it. The Harvard MTS website says that aid will be offered on the basis on need AND merit -- which could mean anything. Anyone know anything specific about Harvard Divinity's tendency to offer aid to MTS students? Same question applies for the MAR program at Yale, I suppose. If I don't get the money I can't go. :-( I would also be grateful if anyone can shed light on admit %s for these divinity schools. I know my GRE scores are stellar but I haven't got a clue about anything else. Thanks in advance.
