I'm so sorry, @batyah, but I am so glad that you got into Drew and it was your first choice! I understand the disappointment, though.

Got the call this morning from BUSTH and was accepted to the PhD program (History & Hermeneutics)! And my friend in theology & ethics got in, as well! An offer is to come later via email and details to come via post. I cried happy tears and I'm still in disbelief!

I have a friend who is doing theology & ethics and she said they told her that she would hear today. No clue if all departments will announce today. I am hoping they will. The wait is killing me.

Same. Unnerving.

PhD in Church History. I had the same email back about the timing when I reached out to ask the timeline. Their lack of portal has me bugging out.

Anyone heard anything from Garrett?

Congrats @batyah and @duckie0817!

As in, those who applied would learn their status this Friday (2/21). Historically, it’s always fallen on the same weekend as last weekend.

I heard from a friend who interviewed with BUSTH (Phd) that they would hear on Friday about their status. So, it appears that BUSTH is a week delayed than they have been historically, but there will be some answers this week.

I am honestly doubtful, as I haven't had any interview requests and one of those two (BUSTH) has been doing interviews already. The other (Garrett) is a shot in the dark. No clue on their process and they don't have a status tracker on their application portal.

Just got my rejection letter from Vanderbilt. 0 for 3 with 2 left to go.

Did they give you a timeframe about hearing back?

Has anyone heard from BUSTH if they applied there? Good or bad?

Sharing this obsessiveness with you today, friend. The silence is deafening.

Awoke to my rejection letter from SMU this morning. Maybe the rest will come today and I’ll have closure and can work on my next plan.

Hi, total newb here. This was my first time applying this round for PhDs in Religion. Applied to Duke ThD, Vandy PhD, BU PhD, SMU PhD, and GETS PhD in Christian History (or its equivalent). I got in years ago when I did an app for a PhD in Urban History, but I had to withdraw from the offer because of a health issue. Today was the first day I heard a peep, and it was a rejection letter from Duke DDS in the ThD program. The waiting is miserable.
