    Well said. If I don't get a job after 15+ years of school then oh well? It's worth the risk, I think.

    From my experience this is extremely common, at least in the humanities. You might check with some other professors, but I would seriously doubt that one professor is correct. Almost everyone, if not everyone, I know has a masters from another place (from their PhD institution).

    You might consider a postbacc program somewhere to give potential schools an indication of your new drive. Another option is finishing another BA at a different school? I don't have any first hand experience with the main campus, but I have taken a class at their Boston campus, and honestly, was extremely disappointed. But I have heard their main campus has a lot more "academic" folks, while the Boston campus is mainly geared toward ministry. Could have just been a fluke, though? - BC student.

    I'm also applying for the AM. I would love to hear about previous funding packages, too. good luck!

    You might take a look at WUSTL for Islamic studies (I think it's in their Near Eastern/Judaic Studies dept.) Also, what MA is there at Columbia? I didn't think they had one outside of Classics. *edit* nevermind, I guess they do?

    Does Sodexo supply every university?? Seems like they are all over the US.

    My school also has pretty fantastic food. Usually I get soup, both because it is damn awesome and it's fairly 'cheap' considering (3.50). We do have a chocolate bar, although I have never tried it.

    Not sure how this relates to graduate school.
  9. sacklunch
    I think it's appropriate. I'm in the humanities, though. I mentioned specific professors last round of applications, and this round (phd) I'm planning on mentioning both.

    Those are a pretty diverse group of interests . I would consider doing a post-bac, if possible, and looking into specific school minimum GPA requirements.

    Good to hear, Sparky. One of my roommates (who also went to SLU UG) got into their MA program with no funding. It was odd since she got into HDS, BC, ect, all with full funding offers. Perhaps things change year to year? I was also offered a very generous funding package from GTU. Not only do they seem to give good funding, but their tuition is much cheaper than the other schools listed.

    Your grades and GRE scores are fine, even good. If it helps, I know several people who applied to SLU with 3.8+ GPA's and did not receive really any funding. From what I understand it is fairly common for master students to receive no aid (I have a lot of friends who went to SLU UG). best

    Drop the course. One W on your transcript will not matter.

    Sparky is right. Because they are the only (as far as I know) school that funds all of its graduate students they seem to get a lot of applications. Not to mention their fantastic faculty.
  15. sacklunch
    I'm confused. That is a great score. Stop freaking out.

    I would consider applying to Candler, too. They are arguably better for certain interests than a lot of the "ivy schools". A good friend of mine has her MDiv from there (now doing another masters at BC) and has nothing but great things to say about their faculty.
  17. sacklunch
    Haha! BCE eh?!? All joking aside, you should consider applying to HDS. From my time spent there (BTI + friends) their faculty honestly doesn't seem any more liberal than BC's STM/Theology dept. The best thing you can do is speak with current students, which you are doing now! Also, if you can, visiting is a great idea. I think BC's prospective student day is in a couple weeks. good luck.

    I'll take a look at it if you'd like. -2nd year BC MTS

    SOP for MA

    sacklunch replied to alem's topic in Religion

    You might try searching around a bit on this section, but also on the SOP section.
  20. sacklunch
    As far as I know many (most) divinity schools/theology programs will give you a year to defer, unless you got some sort of special scholarship/award. I remember reading on several websites this was possible (Yale, HDS, BC, ect).
  21. sacklunch
    At least in the humanities a degree from Toronto (or even UBC) is highly regarded. I see no reason to not earn a degree there if their program suits your interests.
  22. sacklunch
    Just wait it out. You would likely be having similar feelings at Columbia. Wait at least a full semester, if not a year, and then decide if you want to drop out. I'm assuming you have rent, bills, ect. Likely you would have to spend big money to get out of these commitments, so you have a lot more reasons to say and see what happens. In the end, you will do just fine. Cheer up, mate.
  23. sacklunch
    Great question! I also recently discovered this program and was wanting more info.
  24. sacklunch
    ND is going to be the hardest out of those options, and as far as I know the only one that fully funds all its students. I suspect places like PTS, like BC, are fairly homogeneous as far as its students. There are exceptions here at BC, of course, but the majority of the students are Catholic. It doesn't seem to be a problem for those that are not though. I have taken about half my classes from BTI schools (a ton of BC dept. of theology) and have been fairly happy with the results (the reason I came here honestly). good luck.

    Cool, thanks .
