Re-Donne

Looks like another UVA rejection was posted.

I'm on the waitlist for the modern religious thought AOI. I sent an email to the graduate admissions person a week and a half ago and didn't get a response. Trying to interpret the silence as the possibility that I have a real chance of getting in but they can't say for sure rather than just ignoring my email.

I was notified of acceptance off the NT waitlist at Baylor today!

Are you in the discernment process? Because the answer really depends on your bishop (/CoM) and how flexible they're willing to be on the requirements--though I would guess they'd want the full Anglican year, particular in regards to things like field education, CPE, and liturgics. (Think of it less as needing to show academic proficiency in the Anglican tradition and more of them being interested in ensuring you've been fully exposed to Anglican polity/their expectations for priestly formation.)

I did reach out but I wonder how much effect that has on my chances of being admitted. Obviously I hope it has a lot but I imagine a lot of waitlisted people ask professors (at a steady pace lest they come across as annoying) or hint that they are still interested with silly questions they don't really need to ask in the first place. 
Do all waitlists have a ranking system? I wonder if it's too forward to ask where I am on that ranking....

I did reach out to my POIs at the two institutions where I'm waitlisted. In each case I received kind responses. But I'm almost positive that it in no way helped me get higher up the waitlist totem pole. The list is already "set" by the adcom. 
I also think one has to be really careful to avoid coming across as annoying/desperate. I had already communicated with one of the POI prior to applying, and I learned (from a friend) that the other POI is happy to answer questions. So, I knew that they wouldn't be put off by a short email. In those cases, it may be possible to craft a friendly email thanking the POI for reviewing your application, mentioning that you look forward to the results, and that's about it. I suppose that at least puts your name "out there." And nah, I wouldn't ask what position you occupy on the waitlist. He/she may end up telling you. But it seems too straightforward to ask.... imho. 

I just found out that I was accepted to Georgetown's Theological and Religious Studies program! This is my third attempt at Georgetown and my seventh (yes, you read that correctly) application cycle. Never give up!

There’s an ethics waitlist on the results page. Most likely, all acceptances have been contacted. 

I know of OT and NT acceptances that have gone out at Emory. I've been waitlisted there for my subfield but haven't yet received an email. I found out by contacting my POI (usually not advisable). If you still haven't heard from Emory, you're probably either rejected or on a short waitlist.
