I am sorry, but I have to ask how did you hear back from Uchicago already? The deadline for the divinity school is January 4th. This does not make sense to me, as they are not doing rolling admissions....

yeah, I was pretty surprised by their openness on giving a timeline of March 23-24th. The admissions lady said that they are having a delay in looking at applications (no specific reason) and to expect a decision around that time. Following that, she said and I quote "The admissions team are looking at your application right now in this moment" which I was quite taken back by and produced a bit of anxiety for me.

i called the admissions team at Uchicago for the Masters of Arts program to inquire about admissions, since decisions should have come out by now based on past years. looks like they are running late on decisions and will come out by March 23rd- 24th !

Wanted to start this thread for applicants on 2020. Didn't see one created yet. Best of luck to all!

I wanted some time to absorb the news yesterday on my own before I wrote on the forum. By God's grace, I have been accepted to HDS MTS program in Islamic Studies. A bit odd how I found out. I received HDS notification at 9am yesterday and decided to wait until after work to open it so I didn't have to remain stone cold face while at my desk. I either wanted to openly cry from getting in or not getting in. 2 hours later, I received an email from HDS financial aid offer. At that point, I knew I got in. I have been out of school for a few years and was on the path to law school. I decided to take a detour and study the intersection between law and religion first. I had applied last year to HDS but got a rejection and cried tears of fire. I will never forget that moment. I decided to reapply this year with much more intention. I called HDS to ask how a re-applicant should approach the application for a second time. I retook the GRE (studied for 3 weeks) and scored higher (although my overall score was not very high at all). My GPA is subpar too. I had a very straightforward, concise, and direct SOP. In my SOP, I told HDS precisely what I wanted to explore backed up by a very simple clear narrative of what led me here to this exact moment in time. After fully submitting my app, I traveled from CA to Boston mid-February to tour the school and meet a current student at HDS (hoping they would see my extreme interest in the school). Dreams do come true. Never thought I would be writing this post. I had below average GPA (I was lost in college, didnt know what I wanted to do), below average GRE scores and a decent SOP. I have 6 months of language training in Arabic. I received full tuition and 8k/year stipend. Thanks ya'll for sharing your input on this forum! It helped immensely! ❤️

Last year, HDS came out March 12th. This year, I think its going to be tomorrow March 12th too around mid-day. I think HDS is realizing they are releasing decision wayy too late in the game (usually march 15th) and it impacts student's decisions

Does HDS waitlist MTS students?

Does anyone know if HDS waitlists students?

ahh happy march 1st everyone! 2 more weeks till HDS decision release... the anxiety is cranking up

Yes, I got the email

HDS released decisions last year on March 12th. hope its the same date or earlier this year!! am on the edge of my seat...

This is an invite every applicant gets. I am a re-applicant to HDS (was denied last year) and got this same email last year.

HDS DECISIONS ARE OUT

anyone know when Harvard Divinity School MTS decisions are coming out?
