Hi, I applied to Historical and Systematic Theology focusing on Theology and lit. My friend was given am offer for Ethics strand yesterday but she's already at Oxford for Masters and another girl already at Oxford was sent an offer yesterday. 
Maybe it's because we're external that it is taking longer. I'm a UK citizen but at the University of Cambridge rn. 

Anyone heard from Oxford for DPhil in Theology? I haven't heard anything yet but I know some offers were sent yesterday afternoon

Still waiting to hear back from CUA after the preview events. But good news on another front this evening: I received an admissions offer from the Toronto School of Theology! I'm not prepared to think about the funding there yet though. 

Received interview request from UChicago today for ethics area. 

@sayf Hey there! I'm the Brown (& UNC) admit. My subfield is ancient med, so I'm not sure if they release all acceptances at the same time, but I did receive a formal letter notification. Hope everyone is doing well!

Has anyone ever reached out to their prof of contact about admission decisions timeline? Wondering what is appropriate to say when you want to check in on your application status. I’m in a weird place because I was encouraged to reapply to ND by an ND prof who is my point of contact and interviewed me last year. But this year I would have expected to hear about an interview at this point although I haven’t heard anyone else that applied to CJA say they were invited for an interview. Anyway… advice on an appropriate way to check in?

Thought those who applied to Princeton Seminary (note: not Princeton University) might be interested to know that PTS is aiming to send decisions out by 2/25.  If that helps any

Anyone heard from Princeton or Stanford? Did an interview with my Princeton POI in mid-Jan but have not heard anything since then. Stanford has been silent since submission...

Saw a brown acceptance! Are results out? Haven't heard anything yet. 

The interview weekend is in three weeks! 

@theofanthank you for the insight!
I think my only hope is that I took advantage from an offer from the former administrative director to setup a visit back in December. I met with three professors and felt like the meetings went well – even received a very encouraging email from one of them in the MT area that gave me a lot of hope. At this point, I'm hanging on to the hope that since they already "interviewed" me, that they don't see reason to have to bring me back. 
Maybe that's wishful thinking. Maybe it's a shot hahaha.
I'll also second the inquiry into when that interview weekend is – do you happen to know?
In any event, I appreciate the info!

When is the interview weekend?

Hey, the MT interview invitations went out last week. The interviews are in person and there is an interview weekend. But it could be possible you are on a waiting list. I'm not exactly sure how they manage that, but no news could still be good news. 

Are ND interviews in person this year? I applied to CJA and haven’t heard anything yet. Although, last year I applied to the same concentration and got my invite to interview on Jan 30. 

Seems like things are starting to pick up. I saw the ND History of Christianity interview result today, which I'm just going to use to understand that not all the theology interviews have come out from ND yet. 
It's not quite a result, but I did get an invite to a digital event for (would have been at) CUA next week which looks like its for all the remaining applicants and includes time for area specific meetings. So its not not a thing.

Hi everyone! I posted the Princeton Theological Seminary interview on Jan 17. I received an email from the chair of the department for an interview with the faculty. 

Hey, everyone. I am claiming both the Stanford and Yale Religious Studies interviews on the results page. I completed Stanford's at the end of December and I received an email from Yale today for an interview next week. My subfield is American Religions/ American Religious History
 

@xypathos@MKPolicy Yeah it really is a cruel trick.  But as a current PTS student, I'm sure PTS doesn't do interviews, otherwise I would've heard about it from current PTS PhD students.  Still: I'm super anxious ??? lol

at least till the end of the month for plenty of programs I imagine. there are probably some places that never have any results until February. Though I think if you haven't hear from a place by March, its probably off the list.

@MKPolicy I'm mostly going off what I've seen looking at old results. I'm reasonably confident that if you haven't heard from ND by the end of January, they probably aren't inviting you for a visit in February. But that was the pre covid pattern noted both in the results posted here and talking to folks familiar with the program. I'm resisting the urge to reach out to anyone there at the moment. 

Looks like a Notre Dame interview was posted in Systematics. I'm guessing that means other departments will have interview invites out over the course of the week, if they haven't gone out already? 

Hey, a post of interview in the results. Princeton university religon. No ideas what subfield.
Two Emory religion interviews at the end of 2021 Dec. No ideas what subfield.
Search ‘religion.’ Not ‘religious studies.’
I guess Princeton likely has interviews in American religious history…

@Gutlichthank you for a heartneing reply and insight into the distinctions. I appreciate it, greatly! 

I'm late to the party but I've been following your thread.
I got an invitation for interview/conversation from my POI at Duke yesterday. PhD in early Christianity track. @emeraldsapphire  I saw that you are also at Yale? The word about me getting the interview probably spread yesterday and you are probably referring me haha. We probably know each other from school. 

@bigsh yep that's me on the results page. And @MKPolicy, yeah it's two totally different processes. I haven't heard anything official from the PhD (other than informally from my POI). Unless you're in Early Christianity (and maybe Hebrew Bible/NT), I don't think that the PhD is doing interviews. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong there).
