Hi Livgreen, I am an ethics applicant. We overlapped at Emory, Yale, and BC. My other applications were to Notre Dame, Princeton, and UVA. One UK application, to Edinburgh. I too have heard nothing from Emory so I assume that's out. But I continue eagerly to wait for some kind of word from Notre Dame!

I spoke with professors at Princeton and at UVA about this (granted, in theology, not biblical studies) and their take was not black and white. Generally, if you want to teach in the US, its a good idea to get a US PhD, but its not a shot in the foot to go to the UK. Depending on who you study with and the quality of your dissertation (in the UK that is) you could do quite well in the US job market (their words). I think also if you go abroad and want to re-engage the US academy, its important to stay up with it while your in the UK (i.e. doing you best to attend conferences, presenting papers, etc.).

do check with them but I had the same problem with them (and I think with the same material--undergrad trans.) and it turned out simply to be them being behind not that they had not received it.

Hi everyone, first time poster here. I have applied to a handful of PhD programs in Moral Theology/Theological Ethics, etc. Of my top 3 (UVA, Princeton, Notre Dame) only ND has an interview weekend. Two questions: anyone know when Notre Dame will notify the invites? anyone know how Notre Dame handles that finalist weekend? (that is, what goes into it and such). many thanks!
