Rejected tonight by email from the director of the MTS at Notre Dome. It means I am going to my plan B school. Congrats to those who got accepted! Best wishes on your studies.

Was it a personal email written specifically for you, or do you think it could have been sent to several others? I wonder if they do this by concentration.

Can you shed any light on what happens at the MTS admissions meeting that is scheduled on the Notre Dame Dept. of Theology schedule for today? Have decisions already been made to a certain extent, or is this the meeting at which they are made? I would imagine with the meeting being tonight, that hearing back early next week would be the earliest possibility.

I've been accepted to Drew's M.A. in liturgical studies with a scholarship, but I am still waiting on Notre Dame's MTS in liturgical studies. I really have no idea what to expect, so I am trying to keep my expectations low. I have a solid GRE, a masters degree with a high GPA, a paper presented at a national professional conference, and two decent references accompanied by a well-connected reference. I'm also from a tradition, which has historically had very little interest in liturgical studies. I am hoping that gets my application noticed. The wait continues...
