Hi! I recently submitted my enrollment deposit to HDS and will be at the open house. Im glad you started this thread. I'm really excited because I think HDS will offer a myriad of opportunities for taking diverse courses and building relationships. The only thing that worried me a bit was hoping that I made the right decision to go to HDS vs ChicagoDiv. I think HDS has great professors, but I wish they had a couple more in my field.

Did you demonstrate extreme financial need on the HDS financial app? I was hoping to get 100 but only got 75.
-
So at this point if there was no financial info in the HDS acceptance letter than we didn't get a merit award?

lol Yes i can't sit still. I keep checking my email every 10 minutes

Its definitely possible, they keep saying "Mid March" which technically could be today or even closer to the 20th. Hopefully they let us know soon!

What Is UChicago's reputation in comparison to Ivies such as YDS and HDS? Does a M* degree from there set students up for admission to top tier PhD programs? What are the major differences between YDS and Chicago specifically.
-
Would you say Duke is more theology focused whereas Chicago leans more towards religious studies?
-
I also applied to the MA at Chicago Divinity and they said they would be releasing decisions in the first full week of March. Harvard releases around the same time Yale does, Mid march. Congrats on Duke!

Something really draws me to YDS, at times I wonder if I am competitive enough even for the comprehensive MAR. Prayers up, I hope to hear back soon!
-
Are you familiar with the strength of the new Faith & Ecology program? I assume the foundation of many concentrate courses would be highly ethical in nature.
-
This is extremely helpful thank you! Would you say BU is on par with big names such as Harvard, Yale, and Chicago? Do their graduates often get placed in top tier Phd Programs?
-
I applied to the MAR Comp because i didn't have adequate undergraduate preparation in the field. Ive heard that the MAR Comp is a little less competitive than the MARc. I also hear it is possible to switch from comprehensive to concentrated after a year or so of study?

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

Hi everyone, I recently applied to many of the top tier Divinity and Seminary programs for Fall 2017 for either a M.A. M.A.R or M.T.S. I have already received acceptances to Candler and BU's M.T.S programs. I was curious if anyone can shed some light on which schools have the strongest programs in Theological and Philosophical Ethics and Philosophy of Religion. Which schools would prepare me best for a Phd in Ethics? Is the two year M.T.S truly enough time for adequate doctoral preparation? I believe I am a pretty competitive applicant and I hope and pray more acceptances/funding comes through. Ultimately where I go is going to have a lot to do with funding and financial aid, but I really want to be in a place where I can thrive in the best program that will prepare me for doctoral work. (I am not going to lie and say prestige isn't also a factor).
