Guys, I just got a great news today. I have been admitted to a decent PhD program. I'm really excited, but still waiting for the news about funding though. I think I will get at least full tuition scholarship. It is either the school does not take GRE seriously or my GPA helps to show my academic performance that gets me in, I really have no idea. I'm happy... :-)
BTW, beside having published some articles, I also have studied New Testament Greek for many years, Classical Greek, Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic, Sahidic Coptic, and German. So, my language preparation is not bad at all.
