I can't decide where to go! If anyone has input, I'd love to hear (maybe PM me so as not to take over the board). My focus is Early Christianity and New Testament, and I think my three finalists are Duke, Harvard and Notre Dame.

I got my letter from Duke yesterday.

I haven't heard about funding yet. (*fingers crossed*)

HDS decisions are up. I got in!

Both from emails from the schools--Yale sent one this morning I assume to all applicants. ND the email was just to the accepted MTS students.

I wouldn't give up hope. I got into ND, which accepted 16% this year, and got waitlisted for YDS, which accepted 44%. The applicant pools may not be the same, but I feel like the schools really are looking for different things.

I haven't gotten anything from Duke other than the phone call. They said they would send a mailing in the next 'week or so.' When I asked about financial aid they said that the FAFSA wasn't due until May. I told her I'd already submitted it, but she didn't seem like they were in any rush to announce any scholarship info, which is frustrating, since it will be a big part of my decision. I did post on the results page, so at least one of them is mine. With only a few people having posted here, though, I wouldn't lose hope! They don't seem to have many people in the admissions office, so I'm sure it takes them a while.

Congrats! Also, I just received a phone call from Duke saying that I've been accepted to their MTS.

It was a personal email, definitely not sent to anyone else.

Biblical Studies

I just got an email from the director of the program--I was accepted to the MTS at Notre Dame.
