Tingbaring- are you on the waitlist for the PhD program or the A.M. program?

The pay is supposedly really good in Japan. http://www.jetprogramme.org/ Do you think you'll apply to Chicago again next year?

Yeah, I am! I cannot believe it, to be honest.

Full tuition scholarships to Harvard and Yale... oy... what should I do? Which is the "best" school that will give me most academic promise?

Good to know! I should find out soon. This financial information will really make my decision easier...

What degree did you get at Yale Div? What was the funding like for you?

I saw that someone got into the MDiv program at Chicago, with full tuition scholarship and a stipend. Is this normal for MDiv students? ... should I have applied as an MDiv student?

When I talked to the Dean of Students, she told me that Master's students can only get 50%. I am currently already at about $80k in debt from my undergraduate career. I wonder if its worth it to take out the loans to go to Chicago Div masters, with the hope that I would get into a fully funded PhD religion program in a couple years. It comes down to a... "what else am I gonna do with my life?" Also, if I get an A.M, MTS, or MAR degree, will this mean I can only apply to Religion departments? Would Philosophy departments also accept this, assuming I take many philosophy classes (which is certainly possible at Chicago and Harvard-- not sure how "free" Yale's program is).

Are you currently a student at Chicago Div? If so, are you an A.M. or PhD student? Any thoughts about the school that you'd like to share... ?

Well, first of all, I applied to the Master's programs at each school. Chicago has offered me the standard 50% tuition scholarship. I haven't received the financial award letter from the other two yet.

Hey everyone, I am finishing up my B.A. in philosophy, and I've applied to Chicago, Harvard, and Yale Divinity schools to study philosophy of religion. I was accepted into all three. I'm leaning in the direction of Chicago and Harvard, but I would also like some advice. Which of these schools is most respected? Which one will give me the best experience and education? I will in a couple years be applying to a PhD program either at a religion department somewhere, including most likely the Chicago Div PhD or the Harvard Div ThD-- Yale Div doesn't offer a doctorate. I'd appreciate any advice!
