  1. Got in at UCLA! I had received 7 rejections and then heard that UCLA had already had an admitted students day, so I was already looking at outside jobs. Completely surprising but really exciting! Thanks for all the support this application season! Best of luck to all of you going forward!
  2. Got an unofficial waitlist notification from UCLA this week. They said they should know if they’ll have a spot for me on Monday. I had made my peace with my lack of acceptances, so now I’m excited again, but if it comes back as another no, that won’t be fun. But still. I have more reason to be optimistic now than I have in over a month, so that’s good!
  3. I emailed them about a week ago and they said they were still finalizing and that they’d send out results by the end of March. So I’ll just assume that’s a no. And then if something changes, it’ll be a pleasant surprise.
  4. Oh that’s a bummer for me then haha. Congratulations to you though!
  5. Nobody mind me. I’m just sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting to hear from UCLA.
  6. I have a friend who interviewed there a couple weeks ago. That’s all I know though.
  7. My whole week consists of checking my email, trying to focus on something else for five minutes, checking the time to realize it’s only been two minutes, and then checking my email again.
  8. Hebrew Bible! maybe we’ll both get good news and be colleagues! A friend of mine was accepted last year and she knew by this point. But when I texted her she said she didn’t think they’d sent anything out to anyone yet. So who knows? But I’m definitely getting antsy. Especially with rejections from other places coming in.
  9. Thanks! Yeah it’s tough to just not know anything. What sub field did you apply to.
  10. Anybody here applied to the NELC program at UCLA? I have no idea when to expect anything.
  11. Congrats on getting in somewhere! Especially after 4 years! And especially this cycle! That’s a big deal! Where’d you get in? Or are you keeping that close to the vest?
  12. How many rejections do you have to get before you can add it as a special skill on your CV? Asking for a friend.
  13. I worked in a church for ten years before starting this degree, and I would be plenty happy to go back to church work if academia doesn’t work out. My wife and I made a deal when I started my second masters degree that if I got into a PhD, we’d go there, but if not, we’d move somewhere and stay for several years. She doesn’t want to move again this summer and then move yet again next summer. Which is totally fair. Especially since we have two kids also. So this is kinda my shot. Turned out to be the worst possible year to be taking my shot but, such is life. I’ve been really happy with this particular degree, so even if this is as far as it goes, I’m really glad I did it.
  14. Thanks! That’s exactly what I applied to as well, so for now I’ll take it as bad news for me. But congratulations to you! That’s exciting!
  15. What’s your area of specialization at BC? I haven’t heard anything from BC yet and I dunno if that’s bad news or not haha
