Accepted to the MA program at UVA. Was wrestling between this or the PhD program at Marquette but finally decided that I'll be heading to UVA to work with the faculty that I'm more inclined to study with and re-apply once I complete this new degree. Love you guys !

i havent heard anything either, feeling a certain way rn lmaoo

I got the same email, had me fooled for a second lmao

I heard the same thing after my interview too

Time to buy a patch of land in wyoming and start a cult ???

GOT REJECTED FROM BC HELL YEA LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm waiting on BC too (ethics), I've received interviews for BU and Marquette but aside from that its been complete guessing and waiting which sucks

I've been wondering the exact same thing; especially now that fordham has released some decisions, I wonder how my track (theological ethics) ties in with the other tracks and the subsequent decisions made; so frustrating

Which subfield did you apply to?

I was waitlisted at Marquette after an interview so I feel like the "good fit" thing definitely takes precedence, especially this year maybe. Worst case scenario I get to tell my future grandchildren that I had a phd interview with a top theologian while sitting in a storage closet on Zoom haha

My close family friend is an assistant professor in philosophy and, toward the beginning of 2020, told me that graduate application processes are sadistic in so many ways and now I finally understand what she meant haha

One thing I am still thinking about is this year's relation between interviews offered and number of acceptances agreed upon. Do you guys think that there were less interview invitations given out in general or that the interview invites stayed relatively the same while the acceptances decreased. I hope the former is the case because I want to feel as if my interview invitations were signs of at least a little good news lmao

i'm still waiting too, pure torture

What are some of your plans if this year's application cycle doesn't work out for the best? At this point, since I've already finished my MTS, I'm one waitlist away from running away to Maine and living on a blueberry farm lmaoo

Its alarming lmao
