Hi all,
I'm new to this, but I thought I'd share what's going on for me. I'm a big fan of information sharing whenever possible since we are real people who've got real lives to plan for-- spouses, kids, homes, cities, jobs, congregations etc-- real stuff that takes time to plan for! And since the schools aren't always great about treating us as such.
So, I got a hard no from BC and PTS (very timely, thanks guys); interviewed with Emory, Duke ThD, Yale, and BU; am waitlisted at Duke PhD and Duke ThD, and have heard not a word from anyone else.
Also, an encouragement: there will always be opportunities to read and teach and write, and even if this particular circus doesn't pan out, there are many good ways to be a nerd.
xoxo,
Shoop
