Yup. Last Friday of the month. Late afternoon (offices close at 4:30, so before then).

So an app for a school that traditionally doesn't release for another two weeks, has always said "Your application is complete and under review."
Well this morning it no longer says that. BUT! There's nothing in its place.
I just want to 

Congrats!

Congrats!

I have been thinking about that too. I wonder how people get good, up-to-date LOR's with a year "off".
Edit: shoot--I'm in the wrong section again...

*Yawn* Back again, are we? Coffees anyone, coffees?

Since I'm on my Lord of the Rings streak, for those who are getting mad rejections Samwise Gamgee had words of wisdom for everyone:
 

TFW you're on your way to getting categorically rejected from PhD programs.

24,000 are from me alone. 

Yesterday it seems that NO ONE heard from any schools, but I have a feeling about today. Today is the day. We're going to start hearing from a bunch of schools. I'm not sure which, but the emails are being written as we speak. 
Also I have my Iowa interview today! It's gonna be a big day!
I'm gonna light a candle and pour out a little wine to John Harvard, John Princeton, John Iowa, John UT-Austin, and any other Johns you fine people might be waiting for.
 

For some masochistic reason, I found Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate an appropriate response to this:

Do you mean Princeton Theological Seminary or Princeton Department of Religion?
I don't know about Princeton Theological Seminary, but for Princeton Department of Religion I was told that the professors submitted their finalists to the graduate school early last week and am expecting we should hear back from them sometime this week or next week. Here's to all of us keeping our fingers crossed...

Totally second Norman Wirzba at Duke and Willis Jennings at UVA; probably the two most important Christian ethicists working on environmental issues. Excited to hear about Yale's program in this regard as well.
Princeton Seminary is trying out some of this stuff with its Farminary Project (http://farminary.ptsem.edu), and Stacy Johnson regularly teaches a class on Environmental ethics. Most of the reflection on the environment at PTS (outside of the farminary) seems to be in the Hebrew Bible and Practical Theology departments rather than theology/ethics.
Other ideas given your interests:
Wesley Wildman at BU should be able to help with the philosophy. Lisa Cahill works with ecology with some of her stuff on globalization; she's at Boston College so you could work with her through BTI if you were at BU or HDS.
If you want to jump the pond, Michael Northcott at Edinburgh is a big name in environmental ethics.
Elizabeth Johnson at Fordham does a lot with ecology.
Claremont School of Theology seems to have a lot to offer at least on the philosophical aspects given the influence of John Cobb and Process thought

Yes, I would love to study ethics and the implications within eco theology. Basically I would like to apply theological and philosophical ethical concepts of Christianity towards understanding our ecological responsibilities within a paradigm of mass environmental degradation. I also want to consider exploring comparative ethics/theology between Christianity and Buddhism (Or maybe even Indigenous Religious Practices which are highly ecological in nature) in order to gain a holistic perspective that can be enhanced by interfaith research. 
I know many professors in academia have expertise in philosophical and ethical concepts which is extremely attractive to me considering I am incredibly interested in both fields. I really want to use this masters programs to discern the very core of my interests which can be very confusing and broad at times. 
Thanks for the help

It really depends on what you specifically want to study within ethics. Do you have a sense of which topics?

Funny. I read the email at 5. Email was sent last night. Is that sufficiently precise?

Well, Yale rejections going out. Much as it sucks, I appreciate the prompt notification.
