Are you applying for an MA/MTS or a PhD?

I applied to 6 schools in Canada and the US. By the time I paid all the fees and took the GRE I was out about 800 dollars. It was my first time looking at grad school and i found that the application process helped me refine what I want to do.

I live just south of Kensington, on Augusta. I found my place on the UofT housing website in August two years ago. So you can find places right up to the month before you want to move in...

I dunno about in the States, but in Canada, the loan repayment rules change frequently. It seems risky to have your plans 10 years in the future dependent on a current rule.

I accepted Harvard's MTS offer today.

So assuming foks decide to go, is anyone really interesting in living together? http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/fee/1662084463.html

So how are you going to decide?

Serious congrats are in order.

I'm still waffling between Harvard and UofT. I'm going to Boston on Sunday to visit!

I'm sorry to have added to the waiting turmoil! A friend of mine in the MA program said that the process is different then it was last year, for whatever it's worth.

haha, yes, I got an extension.

I can't attend the April 6th event, but I am going to try and get down there the week of the 30th. If I do accept, I would love to live with some folks, since I will be trying to live as frugally as possible.

That's really weird. I actually applied to a couple other American schools that I still haven't heard from. Now, I didn't really think I'd get in down there because of my awful GRE scores so I was amazed about Harvard, and I'm still feeling kinda rushed.

I called them today to ask about that deadline. It seems rather short considering the fact that I only received my official letter yesterday. I have no idea what I'm going to do, but I suppose I might have to decide soon.

It seems to depend on the school here? Laurier has a minimum guaranteed amount of funding for all MA students, while UofT, as you probably know, makes no promises about anything. I'm not quite sure I could live off of Laurier's offer-- so maybe you are lucky

So do you have any thoughts on the MTS/MA divide? I am well aware of the seminary/religion department divide at UofT. I assume that it holds true elsewhere.

I was also accepted to Wilfred Laurier's Religion and Culture program. Not the most well-known school, but they focus on contemporary issues and ethnographic approaches, which is what I want to do. My proposed work is about evangelical, Christian inner-city missions and religious diversity. What do you do johndiligent? Congrats on all the choices, btw.

Hello, I am curious whether there are any other Canadians thinking of attending American divinity schools. I have been accepted to two excellent Canadian schools for an MA in religion, however, last week I got accepted to the MTS program at Harvard Div. I never even contemplated what i would do if I were faced with this decision because I didn't think I'd get in. Do you folks have any thoughts?

Holy cow, I got into Harvard's MTS.

Do ya'll think the Harvard decisions will be out soon?

I got an email from the admin today saying that my package (for the MA program) is in the mail. You should hear soon!

Well, I don't know for sure if everyone got that email or if they have made all their decisions. I hope for good news.

I went to the open house at UofT and there were a number of PhD students there. Did you receive the same "short list" email as the MA students? Have you contacted the grad admin?

Let me know if you're going-- we might be classmates!

I got accepted to the MA at Toronto too! I suspect that's where I'll end up.
