I did interview with them. As far as I understand their department, though, you interview with the teaching group for your degree but then the whole department ultimately makes the decisions. It's a bit weird and I'm not sure how much pull some teaching cohorts have over others. The department is also split among faculty who are primarily based at the divinity school and those who are solely based at the graduate school. It's weird.

Oh yeah, same! lol

Yale decisions are out, too.

Columbia acceptances are out.

Penn acceptances seem to be out. Got a waitlist offer.

I'm sorry to hear that. Religious Ethics is my subfield.

They definitely do interviews, at least in some subfields. I can't speak for all subfields. I had an interview with Yale but have not yet heard anything with regard to results. It has only been a week since the interview.

Similarly nothing from UVA! I am under the impression that interviews are not necessarily a part of their process and that they notify on the later side.

I know that Yale interviews are out for Religious Ethics, but I can't speak for other subfields. Some of the faculty for Yale's Systematic Theology subfield overlap with the Religious Ethics faculty, so they are likely taking things at a different pace in the Systematic Theology group. Can't be in two places at once! I hope that offers a bit of reassurance.

All the faculty affiliated with the track (four total) were present in the interview. They did a kind of popcorn style interview where they each asked a couple of questions.

I had an interview with Princeton that I feel went well! All the faculty were very nice. It was pretty conversational and overall a positive experience.

Penn interviews are out.

It seems interviews for Princeton are out, at least in Religion, Ethics, and Politics.

Any Brown or UPenn applicants out there? Other schools on my list include Yale, Columbia, UVA, and Princeton. No word as of yet from any programs.
