For those accepted at Toronto School of Theology, are you planning to attend?

Hi Esei_John. No, I didn't get any notice yet. I was checking the results page, and I couldn't find many international applicants accepted/interviewed in the list this year (and in international are included Canadians and Europeans). Not a good sign for us.

Any international student interviewed, waitlisted, or approved so far?

Hi, Afe. I understand that you're nervous. The whole process is unnerving, especially for international students (I am an international student myself, from a Third World country in Latin America). I would advise you to contact a professor at Notre Dame or any other university that you're interested in and ask them directly about how compelling your profile is. Make sure to include how many hours/semesters of languages' studies you have. I've had a good experience with Dr. John Fitzgerald in answering my questions about their program. Most of all, don't give up! I'll be praying for you.

Thank you, Enki for your reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. My interest is NT. I have taken many courses in Greek, but only 2 (maybe 3) in Hebrew. That's my main concern now, Hebrew. May I ask you one more question? What do you think schools look for in a writing sample?

Hi. I'm applying this year for PhDs in Biblical Studies and I'm curious about the general profile of those who were accepted in previous years (I hope they still visit this forum ). GRE scores, how many hours of ancient languages, modern languages, etc. Please give your advice to those who are on this side of the academic life.
