U Chicago decisions are out. Rejected this morning.

I received a form rejection letter from them last Friday.

Looking back through previous years, it looks like they usually release around the end of next week, which coincides with the end of their winter quarter. So my guess is next Friday!

Waitlisted at Toronto and U.Va. Still no word from Harvard or Chicago.

Just had an interview with the Divinity school at U Chicago. Don't think it went very well. If you interview with them, be prepared to talk about more than just your specific research project, but also big picture about how your intellectual interests hang together, the philosophical/conceptual questions that drive your work, and scholarly interlocutors with whom you might engage based on methodology in addition to topic. Perhaps that's common knowledge to most folks here (I hope it is!), but it was my first interview of the season and I definitely felt like I got tunnel vision and caught a little flat footed. On another note, decisions from UVa are coming very soon; possibly later this week, next week at the latest.

Only MA admissions, but just received an acceptance offer from UVA a few minutes ago! Have to believe at least some PhD admissions are out too, right? No funding, but I knew that going in. Best of luck to everyone here!
