Jack Horner Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 The PhD thread is still going strong, but since it's (almost) March 1st, and most Masters programs start accepting students within the next 3-4 weeks, I figured that we could start our own MA/MTS/MDiv support group. At this point, I'm already resigned to being rejected from all 4 of my programs. There's an inner peace that comes along with that. So, in the meantime...where are you applying? Then as the acceptances (or rejections, in my case) start rolling in, we can share results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndiligent Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Haha, I guess I can stop cluttering up the PhD thread with my news or lack thereof then. So far, accepted to MA in Ancient Culture, Religion and Ethnicity at UBC. Waiting to hear from five more, but as I've said elsewhere, I'm hoping March is it!

whubbla Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I've applied to some master's and Ph.D. programs. The Ph.D. thing didn't go so well...I've heard from Vanderbilt M.T.S. and UNC-Charlotte M.A., accepted at both. Am awaiting Chicago M.A., Yale M.A.R., and Duke M.T.S.

Jack Horner Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Congratulations to everyone who's heard back from their programs! I'm not expecting to hear back until the second week of March (the earliest). Right now, the suspense is killing me. It's not like it's the end of the world if I don't get in to any of my programs (I have a decent and stable teaching job); however, my life is in a holding pattern until I know where I'm going to be living in 6 months. The weekends are the worst part, since I have lots of time to dwell on the future. I'm sure most of you are/were going through the same thing right now. Here's to hopefully having some closure (good or bad) by the end of March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied last year and received rejection at the end of March, but I suspect if you make the cut, you will hear something in the next two weeks. All the best!

cribro Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I've been accepted to Drew's M.A. in liturgical studies with a scholarship, but I am still waiting on Notre Dame's MTS in liturgical studies. I really have no idea what to expect, so I am trying to keep my expectations low. I have a solid GRE, a masters degree with a high GPA, a paper presented at a national professional conference, and two decent references accompanied by a well-connected reference. I'm also from a tradition, which has historically had very little interest in liturgical studies. I am hoping that gets my application noticed. The wait continues...

vanidyam Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Just found out I got waitlisted at Duke. It's cool though-- was planning on choosing Emory/Candler over Duke anyway. (I got into Emory/Candler-- my stats are in some other comment above). My concern now though, is... does this mean that I can pretty much rule Yale and Harvard out? Or is it one of those things where it just depends what schools are looking for at the time? I have recommendations from alums of both those schools, so that can't hurt either... Either way, I know I'm at LEAST going to Candler School of Theology so life so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Horner Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just received my acceptance to the MTS program at Boston College with an 80% tuition fellowship. ...and I accidentally posted twice to the results forum. My bad. Any way to remove it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phatcher Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I found out on 2/25 that I was accepted to Union Theological Seminary's MA program! No idea about funding. That's to come later. Still waiting to hear back from: Harvard and Yale Divinity, Boston University and Columbia Yay for grad school in the Fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateAntique Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Accepted to Fordham for an MA in Historical Theology. No funding, though. I won't be accepting as I have a fully-funded offer from FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musili Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I do American religion and non-fiction writing, so I applied to four very different programs. The two religion ones? MTS at Harvard and an MA in Journalism & Religion at NYU. Still waiting to hear from both. From what I understand, I could hear from NYU any time between now and the end of March. Harvard sent my application to committee on Feb 24, as I think they did most MTS applications. I'm expecting to hear around March 15 for that. Although I have some heavy-hitting recommendations for both programs, I'm not expecting admission to either, as they're both really competitive, and I proposed a self-designed course of study for Harvard. We shall see. Certainly not giving up hope over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Horner Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Accepted to Fordham for an MA in Historical Theology. No funding, though. I won't be accepting as I have a fully-funded offer from FSU. Same, in Systematics...won't be accepting because I have already have a nice offer from a better program (BC).

I heard of someone else hearing back about their MDiv app so I called and they said not to expect my answer until like the 15th. I'm an MTS but I don't understand why there would be a difference.

I heard of someone else hearing back about their MDiv app so I called and they said not to expect my answer until like the 15th. I'm an MTS but I don't understand why there would be a difference. I got a letter. I couldn't find a date for when decisions would be made on the website, so I emailed admissions last Monday (Feb 20-something) specifying that I applied for the MDiv program, and wondering when I would receive a decision and I got the answer "We should be sending out decisions in the mail this week." Sure enough, a week later, I got the waitlist letter... so maybe it is an MDiv vs. MTS thing? Hm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathētēs Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 how were you notified if you don't mind my asking? I heard of someone else hearing back about their MDiv app so I called and they said not to expect my answer until like the 15th. I'm an MTS but I don't understand why there would be a difference. The deadline for Duke's M.Div. applications was 1/10, while the deadline for their M.T.S. program was 2/1. Therefore, they are allowing approximately the same amount of time to process the applications of the two programs. The Results Search shows that last year there was a master's acceptance on 3/9. Thanks for sharing that they said this year announcements will be made around 3/15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathētēs Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Has anyone using the forum confirmed with Notre Dame when they will send out M.T.S. decisions? According to the Results Search, a master's applicant was notified last year on 3/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Results Search, a master's applicant was notified last year on 3/10. Two years ago, I got an email on 3/5. So results should be going out soon. Best of luck, and if you get in, I hope you choose to come--it's a fantastic program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surisuri Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) One of the schools that I applied asks me to provide my Bachelor degree and Master degree copies to verify my graduation date. Do you think it is a good sign? Thanks. Edited March 5, 2010 by surisuri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
