In particular, I barely have seen doctoral students who only hold one M.Div in NT or Hebrew Bible study. This is because they cannot absorb enough language trainings through one degree program... I saw some students have three or four M*degrees such as M.Div, MA in Near Eastern Study, MTS or Th.M... and have a strong capacity in Greek, Ancient and Modern Hebrew,  Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, etc. If you want to pursue Ph.D in privileged schools (Full tuition+Stipends at least for 5 years), one masters degree might not be enough to get in..   

The majority of doctoral students I know in NT or HB/OT have one masters degree

I posted earlier and said DDS normally contacts this week. I haven't seen any indication that folks received interviews so they may be behind on their process. Maybe next week we'll all hear more.

If you mean Duke Th.D interview invites, I know one person who received one, so I assume they have gone out by now.

Does anyone want to claim the waitlist post for Duke's PhD? Does anyone know of anyone who received an offer of admission at Duke's GPR yet? 

I know one person who received a Duke GPR offer.
