I accepted the offer from BC. It is a better fit in the long run anyway. Where are you headed?

Finally got the rejection from Notre Dame via website notification. No email.

Thanks for the info!

Any word on the Theology track?

I did not receive a call. Maybe means I got waitlisted? I don't think I interviewed well. Honestly I probably didn't put as much into it as I could have. I'm in at BC with full funding. But congratulations! One of my professors at LMU is an alumni of Marquette. He says they treated him very well!

I have not heard anything from UChicago yet (the only one from your list that I applied to)

In my Skype interview for a PhD program I forgot the technical lingo for "the Trinity revealed in history" (i.e. the "economic" Trinity) for a good 30 seconds. They had to give it to me... I want to specialize in trinitarian theology...

Wishing you the best!!

Though I know now that I won't have to opt for my Plan B (*still holding my breath because I fear this euphoric bubble I've been in for the past two weeks might pop and I will find out my acceptance was a mistake*) I was also looking into teaching at a private high school. Since this is my third foray into PhD application season and I have had to take multiple "plan B's" (BA in Philosophy rather than Theology...MA in English rather than Philosophy...MA in Theological Studies...ministry...teaching...) I was prepared for the inevitable mental/emotional/spiritual renegotiation. But, for those of you facing it as a reality maybe for the first time...maybe not...just know that, at least in my experience, detours happen and I have always been better for the experience gathered while on them. And at the risk of leaving a cliche in this hallowed space, "way leads onto way" and I have never regretted taking Plan B.

@drivingthoughts Same to you!

@drivingthoughts I had an interview with Marquette today as well. I did not expect a 10 person panel. I interviewed at BC as well and it was much less intense.

@_PATRISTICS_ Hi! I'm new to the forum, but I thought I'd contribute to the conversation since I've been following the feed for the past month or so. I was accepted into the Systematics program at BC.
