I just saw that there was an invitation for an interview for a person with an O status for the Duke Divinity ThD program. Anyone know if Duke has sent out interview invitations to all their preferred candidates already or if they're still deliberating? And what kind of student would "Other" mean in the results board?
It seems a little bit early, at least compared to past years, to have already gotten an interview invite. That makes me think (hope) that all of the invites have not been sent. At least that's my highly deductive and unassailable logic.
Idk what "O" would be...

Have you heard anything back yet, Geist? If memory serves, you are LS also.
In the spirit of Barth, Nein!

Of course the person who posted that they received an interview DID NOT specify the program to which they were applying or their GPA/GRE. Why even bother to post at that point?
1Unless we are looking at different results, the interview that was posted today specifies WRWC.

Possibly. But that's only internal applicants. I have no idea how many outside applicants are applying. Word on the street is that they're meeting this afternoon to discuss applicants.
I was under the impression that (at ND) professors from each track of study meet and make their picks independently of the other tracks. Is this the case, or do all of the professors, regardless of track, get together to discuss?

Nothing for ND. I don't even think I've heard about the professors meeting to discuss potential applicants yet. Interview weekend is usually late February so I assume the meeting to figure out who they're inviting will be soon. Acceptances usually go out a couple of days after the interview weekend.
I figured as much. I've heard that, historically, invitations go out on Super Bowl weekend.

Any movement on ND or Duke (esp. ThD)?

@rejectedndejected I, too, am applying to liturgical studies at Notre Dame. I had a phone meeting with one of the top professor in liturgical studies there a couple of months ago, and he told me that all LS students must know Greek, Latin, French, & German by the end of it. The LS track, he said, is heavily historical even if you want to end up focusing on liturgical theology or ritual studies at the end of the day. However, he made it sound like it's not unheard of for successful applicants only to have one of the aforementioned languages (or just partial competency in two or three of them...which is my case). Students who are lacking faculty in languages can arrive on campus early to do summer language course(s).
Beyond languages, he told me that LS gets about 24 applicants each year. They select four for campus visits and then offer two applicants admission.
