Soon inshallah we will know our future.

I likewise received my rejection from UChicago, was surprised that it went out this early as last year was much later. As for Cornell, I do not know anything about this admission process, but I wish you the best of luck.

Indiana nelc sent out some acceptances today

According to the survey, the past few years Berkeley sent out their notifications the second week of February so I've been on edge all week. Inshallah it will all work out. As for UChicago those who were accepted were already notified, the rejections come much later (not sure why they do that...)

Did they email you? Also were you interviewed?

Was that an email or a postal mail

No I'm not sure just going off the the dates they admitted people last year (February 10). In any event best of luck.

Chicago released acceptances this week. Should be hearing from Berkeley next week.

Update. I have heard from colleagues at UChicago that notices went out today for acceptances. That being said they sometimes have a wait-list.

As far as I know, from anecdotes from personal friends and individuals on this forum, that if one was not invited to interview at Emory you did not make the preliminary cut. That being said, you never know what kind of machinations are going on behind closed doors and this whole process is one giant, enigmatic crap shoot.

I noticed someone on the results page posted they were accepted but they do not mention whether it was an official notice.

Also does anyone have experience with the ICIVS interview at Emory? I'm doing over skype as I am not available to travel to Atlanta and just curious as to the range of questions, particularly in terms of specificity about my proposed research project. Thanks

Thank you, appreciate the insight.

I guess I should have clarified that I'm interested in Islamic studies and they only have Jamal Elias however I would also have access presumably to the NELC faculty there as well

Not to repost but still curious as to how well UPenns' religious studies PhD is regarded in the field. Also curious if anyone has received an interview request for their program. Cheers.

I am abroad now with no access to my phone but the results page says official acceptances come out Monday so I guess we will know in a few days. My UT application page likewise says under review

I was told by someone close to the admissions process. As far as I know Verbal is what really matters and, to a certain extent, your AWA scores, but I would be quite surprised if they cared about the quant. Thank you for the well-wishes.

Word thank you. Been trying to find more info on the program as I have an interview next week.

Hey all, Was wondering if anyone could offer some insight on the reputation of UPenn's religious studies program. Is it well regarded? Thanks

I retook GRE this year got 98th percentile writing 97th verbal but it still wasn't enough. I was told that I didn't make the cut and my application was unsuccessful this year as well :/. Forunately I have an interview with Emory this week and one with Upenn religion next week. Inshallah things will come through but who knows, it's a terrible process these applications. Speaking of of which has anyone heard from UMichigan for interviews? Last year they sent out interview requests January 28th but I haven't heard anything yet either from colleagues or on gradcafe.

This is also my second time applying and I received FLAS notifications both times and it is not an indication of making the shortlist. I know this for a fact because last year my GRE scores did not make the 90th percentile cutoff and I was informed that my application was not even looked at as a result. I will let you know when the official notices are released. Low expectations is the name of the game.

From my understanding it went out to all those shortlisted. Low expectations is the name of the game.

Everyone gets the FLAS email. I know some applicants who have received an email request and the email mentions they have made the short list of well qualified applicants and are asked to submit a short 3 minute video. From what I understand GRE scores as an important factor and from my experience there is an unstated 90th percentile cutoff for GRE scores there. I unfortunatey was not one such applicant. Best of luck in your other applications.

Hmm, when I log in to the application website for UToronto it still says Under Review, but thanks for the info, appreciate it.

How were you notified of your rejection? Curious because I had applied as well and have not heard anything back.
