No informal phone call here, but my status update was a Fordham acceptance as well. I was waitlisted at Fordham last year and they kept me on the WL til mid-August (assuming I'd have gotten in if international students couldn't get to class because of COVID restrictions? Why else keep someone on a WL until 2 weeks before classes start?)
-
Anyone else here still on the Fordham waiting list? I know someone was accepted and others were rejected... my application (systematic theo) is still somewhere in limbo...
-
Love the metaphor but could you be a bit more precise about what that means to you? If BC is just letting ppl off the waitlist now, do you think other schools still haven't taken ppl off their lists?
-
Responding to your original question- I've read rumors that April 15th has some significance for some schools. That's the day a few of the big schools kill off their waitlists I think? So if BC wants you to make your decision by then, its probably so they can kill off the rest of the list behind you shortly thereafter...

Which school?

Anyone out there on the Fordham waitlist hear anything yet?

100% French. You have enough German to impress already. There's plenty of political/poststructural-adjacent stuff that you need french for. If you can already handle some small chunks of Marx and Schmitt in German, you're well ahead of the curve. You pretty much need both German and French to do work in political theology these days. Latin/Greek/Italian all help too. Spanish can be important for liberation theologies. Get some breadth, you'll be doing a lot more things in much smaller chunks. If you commit to going beyond a German minor's worth of learning with German- you better be planning to get published doing some translation heavy lifting. Otherwise, you're wasting your time/energy.

Are you waitlisted or still waiting on any info?

Lots of people waitlisted by Fordham this year. Seems a little odd?

@batyah Drew just updated their admissions portal, but I don't think emails have gone out yet...

Master's Admissions 2018 (MA, MTS, ThM or Mdiv)

Did anyone who applied to PTS get sent an email or did everyone get a snail mail notification. My application monitoring says that my decision was mailed but I didn't get an email. Not hopeful. -
... Isn't this a long time between decisions and notifications?

Someone just posted Harvard took no NT or OT candidates this year. Do we know anything about systematics yet????
-
Well. I'm just about struck out.
-
Gotcha, I'm already starting the research for next year. I got a feeling I struck out across the board. Trying to stay positive so I don't tank a midterm this weekend...
-
Curious what you'd view as the list for Systematic?
-
Man, I'm really obsessed with the Harvard rejection potential. Let's get this over with already...
-
I'm second guessing everything right now. The big one is that I didn't apply very widely and now I think I'm gonna strike out completely and have to either switch from my MA track to Mdiv (yuck) or do a last minute ThM application. Or just sit for a year and try to get published- though that could be risky too.
-
I realize this is an ask- but could you log into your app and see if they’ve updated your status? Thanks!
-
Wait- did you get a Harvard rejection email? Your signature lists it as a rejection?

So I finally signed up for an account because lurking was crushing my soul.* Does anyone with experience or connections know if it is weird that we've seen no systematic theology interviews yet at Yale or PTS? *Wait, I'm a non-reductive physicalist. Hmmm.
