Hey turktheman. Weighing decisions carefully is definitely a good idea... I just wish that that didn't come at the cost of leaving people whose last hope is in waitlists in misery and anxiety... lol. I'm waitlisted at 3 programs: Brown, UVA, and PTS.
-
Are these schools I'm waitlisted at really not going to say anything until April 15th?!
-
I have caught wind of some movement in the PTS waitlist
-
As you said, apps are rolling for the Master's programs at PTS, so decisions are sent out at varying times. But if you applied on Jan. 15, you should have received a decision by now.
-
Thanks Sloproth. I'm also an applicant for the TEC track. This is the most competitive of the tracks right now, I think. UVA is in such high demand for the kind of work the TEC does. The fact that all the Ivy League schools reduced their number of seats this year does not help our cause =[ Wishing you the best, though. Let's keep waiting. If I hear anything, I'll make sure to post it here as soon as I can. Hope you will do the same!
-
My letter from UVA informing me of the weightless calls me a "top candidate." Did anyone else receive this freezing too? I'm just wondering if this is just a generic letter, or if there is cause to hope.
-
Welcome. Haven't heard anything. My POI emailed me last week saying that we must "wait and see." The April 15th deadline is not far off so take heart. What program did you apply for?
-
Union (UTS) has put me through a lot of anxiety, but finally this morning they gave me a final word: Rejection. Oh well. At least now I know.
-
I asked a couple professors I'm close with this same question. They both answered: "It could go either way." One important factor to consider is whether or not you trust your POI at this school. You said you "felt funny about the question." Is this because you felt that they weren't showing all their cards? If you feel that your POI knows for certain that his/her program is one. you are genuinely interested in, and you feel that your POI is genuinely interested in getting you into the program, you should tell him/her. It could be used as leverage to move you off the waitlist quicker. On the other hand, if they are uncertain of the probability of you accepting an offer should you get off the waitlist, it could work to your disadvantage.
-
Is anyone else having trouble with UVA's online application? Also, could these schools just get back to us already?
-
A lot of schools closed today because of the snowstorm that hit the northeast. So, probably won't be hearing much today.
-
This ranking list was already posted:
-
Also, a lot of schools have already had their visits for first round admits. Unless these first round folks are waiting to hear back from their own wait lists, some of them should be making their decision soon. At least, they should… To be considerate to those of us who are stuck in limbo for now
-
Seeing that the activity on this thread is decreasing, it seems both that there is not much news and that most people don't have much news to await. I am hoping/expecting to hear back from UTS this week. Other than that, still have PTS, UVA and Brown to hear back from.

New QS Ranking of Theology, Divinity, and Religious Studies programs
seung replied to trinitymatthew's topic in Religion
Agreed. The logic of the ranking is not stated, and none is apparent in its ordering. Not to mention that the subfields under "Theology, Divinity & Religious Studies" are so diverse, and the specializations of certain schools so idiosyncratic, that ranking of schools under that broad category would be difficult in the first place. -
Just to clarify, what I brought up is not a case of UTS rescinding an offer of acceptance. I am unaware of such things taking place.
-
yikes.
-
What does it mean to be provisionally accepted
-
Thanks Anxious Annex. "A pretty long list..." That is def not encouraging. I was told by a faculty that the list "is not very long," but I think I should go with the admission's office. They admitted 13 applicants. Last time I heard, 3 people had accepted the offers. Wonder if the 4th accepted or not. The waiting continues...
-
Are you sure this isn't just for rejections? It's strange for a school to decide to send out all decisions of the waitlist before the April 15 deadline
-
Seeing as Brown only accepts around 4-6 students to their religious studies program every year, it seems that I don't have much of a chance on the waitlist. Anyone have any info on Brown or any updates on UVA?
-
It looks like I'm out of this round of PhD Applications. I'm still waitlisted at 3 schools, but I probably shouldn't be counting on getting in and start making other plans. I was wondering, does anyone know of any ThM/STM programs that offer funding? I know YDS does, but it seems the deadline has passed (which is strange, given that most of these programs put their deadline right at April 15th).
-
Was told I'm on the waiting list at UTS last week. Already got a rejection letter today. Not sure how that's possible.
-
Got my first rejection from all of the waitlists. Bye bye Union =[
