  1. So I'm currently in the middle of my MDiv program, and I intend to start applying for doctoral programs in theology soon. Everything looks good in terms of grades and letters, but I have a couple "withdrawals" on my transcript. Does anyone know if those are frowned upon by doctoral programs? And while we're at it, can anyone list any other potential small "nicks" on transcripts that others should watch out for?
  2. You're certainly not aiming too high. You should at least get into Yale, BC, and PTS. From what I understand, however, Notre Dame is extremely hard to get into, and receiving significant financial aid is next to impossible. Have you considered the Toronto School of Theology? It's probably the best theological consortium in North America/Canada, and it would be a great fit for someone who's ecumenically inclined. I'm going to apply to TST's Wycliffe College ("Yale north," as it's often called), as well as to Duke Div, Perkins School of Theology, and Princeton Theological Seminary. I share your skepticism about Harvard and Chicago being able to demarcate a particularly orthodox Christianity. That might not be a huge factor for a doctoral student, but for someone pursuing an MDiv, the schools you've selected are certainly great options.
