Anyone accepted to SMU and got a better offer? #waitlisted #helpabrother

That's good news. a better chance for those of us on the waitlist!

5 spots, one for each subfield?

Is he planning to accept the offer or is he waiting for another one elsewhere?

Has anyone here been accepted or waitlisted at Southern Methodist University's Graduate Program in Religious Studies?

The waitlists for OT and CH went out two weeks before the one for theology did, so it could be that they're taking longer to get back to you.

You should do some spelunking to find out how big the waitlists are. I can't pay you, so .... oh well.

Sent you a PM.

I applied to the Theological Studies subfield and got waitlisted today. So, to all who are being interviewed in theology this weekend, if Baylor isn't your top choice, please decline if they give you an offer! I'd love to be there.

That's encouraging. I have a similar background, and similar exam scores as you. I thought that meant I had meager chances. I think I have great LORs and a solid SOP - so, your story encourages me in that my educational pedigree won't necessarily do me in from the start. I'm not applying to Duke or any of the top-tier programs (mostly just second-tier).

RD_Paul, where did you do your master's degree?

Baylor's waitlist went out. Did anyone receive rejections, particularly in the theology subfield?
