    I'd heard from several people that JBL can be over a year. I have requested to do multiple book reviews with them and even hearing back about that has been 8-16 MONTHS. Absolutely ridiculous.

    Hello all, I recently submitted an article for consideration for a fairly prominent journal in Hebrew Bible. As it would be my first non-book-review publication, I'm excited to hear back about an acceptance, rejection, or R&R. I was wondering if anyone could anecdotally speak to the typical turnaround times for journals to which they have submitted. I've heard CBQ has a goal time of about three months. I haven't heard anything outside of that, though.

    That's super tough. While I would like to think Professor B would be a much better recommender, my own anecdotal experience with that sort of thing has been that Professor A would be better. I'm sure it's been different for others, though. I would try to meet with Professor A a few times before they write the letter and maybe give them another paper to read (it depends on the professor as to whether or not they'll read it).

    That's probably pretty helpful considering the area that Emory is in. Decatur is expensive as hell.

    Sounds like a good list! You should throw Notre Dame on there as well!

    If you haven't heard from ND yet for the MTS, there is still hope. For some reason like 4-5 of the 15 applicants haven't even responded to their offers and, unless they do so by tonight, the offers will go to waitlisters. It's not definite, but there is a small amount of hope. **On a sidenote: If you're ever offered a spot in a program (M* or PhD), even if you don't intend to go to that program, DO NOT IGNORE PROFESSORS WHEN THEY EMAIL YOU. It's a really great way to make yourself look terrible to people who are actually working in the field you're hoping to enter.

    That might be the case. And I understand sitting on a couple. But if you have 3+, you should start narrowing things down.

    From what I can gather, there are a few (extremely inconsiderate) people sitting on a ton of acceptances. I know someone who was sitting on 5+ TT acceptances and didn't accept one until last week. A lot of schools don't have the time necessary to work through the administration to make offers at this point.
  9. KA.DINGER.RA
    I know they've already notified the first wave of people. However, there is usually some movement in the acceptances as people go elsewhere. There might still be a chance you get in off the waitlist. It wouldn't be a terrible idea to message someone and ask. To what area did you apply?

    I have no idea if it is still the case, but while I was at the University of Georgia the head of the linguistics department was a fairly well known scholar focusing on Sanskrit and other Devanagari languages. There are also a couple of professors in the religion department focusing on SE Asian religion. It's not a tier-1 program, but the Religion MA set me up very well moving forward from there.

    As far as I know for the MTS, the departments decide independently of one another. I've heard of people knowing WAY before others. ND also likes to extended MTS offers to a lot of people they interview for PhD stuff. I'd be patient for another week and hopefully some news will pop up.
  12. KA.DINGER.RA
    Ahh ok. I have no idea how LT does stuff, but I can ask people on that side if they have any info tomorrow.
  13. KA.DINGER.RA
    They have already notified a lot of people for the MTS. They've already told at least one biblical studies person (HB). Are you HB or NT?

    My advice likely wasn't helpful on its own. I was moreso agreeing with HTM18. In my experience, UK PhD's are recognized in the US, but much less so than US or top-tier Canadian (i.e. UToronto) degrees. Baylor (Baptist affiliation aside, academically speaking) is a top tier school.
  15. KA.DINGER.RA
    I would take Baylor over Oxford in a heartbeat.
  16. KA.DINGER.RA
    From my experience, ND really doesn't weigh GRE scores too heavily. The "required" number for even the PhD is pretty low. They obviously want decent scores, but it's not going to get your application thrown out if you aren't 160+ in both.
  17. KA.DINGER.RA
    The competition for the MTS (at least in BS) is pretty steep. There are a lot of applications each year. However, the competition is Systematics/MT is probably much greater because Notre Dame is, from what I understand, the top choice for everyone who does ST or MT.

    Did anyone else applying to HB at UCLA hear back today?
  19. KA.DINGER.RA
    Got my UCLA rejection at 5 AM. This application cycle has been quite a bummer.
  20. KA.DINGER.RA
    Have Notre Dame MTS decisions gone out yet?
  21. KA.DINGER.RA
    PhD notifications for ND should be out!
  22. KA.DINGER.RA
    FYI: A couple of ND acceptances have gone out. They likely won't all come out today or tomorrow, so be patient.
  23. KA.DINGER.RA
    I'm mostly just waiting to hear back from everywhere. If it gets to a late point, I'll just pull the trigger.
  24. KA.DINGER.RA
    According to the results section, it looks like someone was admitted for NELC at Harvard.

    Good luck to Notre Dame interviewees this weekend. Y'all are going to crush it.
