Near Eastern Studies/NELC Fall 2018

Whelp. UCLA sent out another NELC email. That might be the ol' nail in the coffin for me on that one, folks. Damn. -

It looks like notifications for Yale had gone out. Even though it was a longshot, I'm wishing I had applied to Penn and Yale instead of Chicago and Harvard. It's too late at this point to shift things up though. I need this Brown interview to go REALLY well if I want to do Assyriology. :/ -

Same here. I know I should just be patient, but I'm getting so disheartened. -
Preferred Bible Software? Accordace or Logos or Bible Works?
KA.DINGER.RA posted a topic in Religion
Hello to my fellow biblicists out there. I am looking to reward myself for entering PhD studies this upcoming fall by purchasing some bible software for myself over the summer. I was curious what your thoughts are on the big three programs out there and, if you've used two or all three of them, what you would recommend. -
It's a shame that the University of Georgia doesn't get more of a spotlight considering they have Baruch Halpern and R. E. Friedman on faculty and accepting students. (I am most certainly biased) but I would have to include Notre Dame for Hebrew Bible over several of the programs that you listed (particularly UT-Austin since both John Heuhnergard and Jo Ann Hackett are retired/retiring and Emory with Carol Newsom).

Congrats man. those are both amazing departments. Let me know what you decide. I'm hoping to catch a waitlist invite off the back of whatever you choose not to do. If you don't mind me asking, were you shortlisted at Johns Hopkins?

I know i'm being impatient, but I'm going to need to hear from UCLA sometime soon. -
There is an unclaimed Harvard acceptance and an unclaimed UCLA acceptance (for NELC). I'd really love to hear from the specialization for each.

I'm really curious as to what concentration contacted them. I know sometimes they only contact certain concentrations as a time so I'm REALLY hoping it wasn't for the ANE subsection. -
That's almost borderline criminal. Grad students have no money and so many people spend so much money in application fees. It even costs money to send GRE scores. I honestly would have been tempted to issue a charge-back on my card.

It looks like someone was accepted to UCLA. Congrats! I was really taken by the program and the professors I met with. Hopefully there might still be an acceptance incoming for me. :/ -
It depends on a lot of factors. To where have you been accepted? Can you defer acceptance?

I think the majority of notifications for Master's programs come even after PhD notifications, unfortunately. :/ -
A couple of my fellow Notre Dame people will indeed be there. They are awesome people, as I'm sure you will come to know!

It's not for a couple of weeks. I was just mentioning it in advance because I know people might check this infrequently.

If any other ND PhD Hebrew Bible interviewees would be amendable to snagging a beer outside of official planned activities, shoot me a PM and I will set something up for us ( *sigh* I guess if you NT folk want to come, you can).

Thanks! I'm not really taking it too hard. I just had a good feeling about it so I was surprised to be rejected so early in the game. UW is definitely an excellent program. Their newer HB faculty are amazing.

I, like many others before me, was able to contribute my application fee to someone at Chicago’s stipend. Shoutout to to those who got in. It’s an amazing program. -
I know I can’t get super bummed out about getting rejected by Chicago or take it too personally. It’s a really good school. But I’m super bummed out about the rejection I just got.

I haven't heard about anyone else in here applying there, but it seems that Classics and ANE studies letters have gone out for U Wisconsin-Madison. -

Well damn. That’s likely a no for me as well then. Letters have gone out for Chicago and Hopkins. -
Near Eastern Studies/NELC Fall 2018
KA.DINGER.RA replied to felakuti's topic in Interdisciplinary Studies
I checked the results page and two people submitted "accepted" results for NELC at Chicago. Go and search "NELC" and you'll see them. -
It looks like some letter have gone out for Chicago for NELC. I'm not sure if it's just the NELC program or the NELC + HB. Heads up to those who applied and congrats if you got in.
