Giraffe40 Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Has anyone on the forum received a written decision concerning Duke's MTS? Has Duke sent status emails, letters, or online updates? Congrats Giraffe and Whubbla on being accepted! Did you post the Duke MTS phone calls on the Results Page, or are those from two others? I haven't gotten anything from Duke other than the phone call. They said they would send a mailing in the next 'week or so.' When I asked about financial aid they said that the FAFSA wasn't due until May. I told her I'd already submitted it, but she didn't seem like they were in any rush to announce any scholarship info, which is frustrating, since it will be a big part of my decision. I did post on the results page, so at least one of them is mine. With only a few people having posted here, though, I wouldn't lose hope! They don't seem to have many people in the admissions office, so I'm sure it takes them a while.

Thanks4Downvoting Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 This is all so exciting as an observer! I probably won't be as excited (nervous will be more accurate) next year when I'm applying. Good luck to all of you!
Thepoetsdaughter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 After obsessing all week (and since December 15...) I just found out that I got into U Chicago. I feel super relieved that I got in somewhere. Hello grad school 2010!

Thepoetsdaughter Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Congratulations! How did you find out? Thanks! I called the office of admissions--not because I'm a crazy person or anything (I swear!). I'm going to be in Chicago over the weekend for a conference though, and I wanted to get my decision before I left for my trip. I was patched through to the dean of admissions, who then told me that I got in. She mentioned that they're planning on sending out letters today, so they should be arriving soon! I don't understand why they don't post results online. I'm hoping to find out more about the program on Monday, when I visit. Do you know a lot about the general AM/MA program?
NickPD Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Congrats! Maybe I should come up with a little story about visiting this weekend too....I suppose that I will just wait until the grand ole' USPS delivers the letter to me here in Georgia. Would you also be attending the prospective student's day? Do you know anything about that? Edited March 11, 2010 by NickPD

Actually, I don't know much about the AM program at UChicago. I only applied because my sister lives in the city, and I figured that it would be nice to be close to family. Unless UChicago blows me away with an offer of funding (unlikely, based on past results), I'll probably be going to BC in the fall. Still, there are some awesome names on the UChicago faculty. Congratulations again!
11Q13 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Yale decisions are online. I got waitlisted. Doesn't give me much hope for Harvard who seem even more selective
vanidyam Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) Yale's decisions are on the website early!... And I just got rejected. Oh well... one step closer to Emory, I suppose. Good luck to the rest of you! Edited March 11, 2010 by vanidyam
divinity888 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I got in to Yale!!! I can't believe they released decision so early! I am shocked, I am in shock.
divinity888 Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I got in to Yale!!! I can't believe they released decision so early! I am shocked, I am in shock. It's for the MAR, for anyone curious.
johndiligent Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Anyone want to own the McMaster decision posted yesterday?
katholou Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Accepted into Yale MAR (History of Christianity) and Duke MA Religion. Come on financial aid!
whubbla Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Has anyone heard whether Yale Div notified recipients of any of its merit scholarships?
vanidyam Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Yale decisions are online. I got waitlisted. Doesn't give me much hope for Harvard who seem even more selective I feel that... I got flat out rejected! Waiting on the decision from Harvard seems futile at this point. Oh well. Good luck to you, who knows what Harvard's looking for this year?...
EarlyReader Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Got accepted into Yale's MAR Bible concentration. Now waiting on funding (which is apparently in the mail). Perhaps now I can enjoy the weekend sans nervousness. Edited March 12, 2010 by EarlyReader
Isobel_Mishima Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 got into Yale's concentrated program! Does anyone know if these are the more selective programs within the Yale MARs?
Giraffe40 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I feel that... I got flat out rejected! Waiting on the decision from Harvard seems futile at this point. Oh well. Good luck to you, who knows what Harvard's looking for this year?... I wouldn't give up hope. I got into ND, which accepted 16% this year, and got waitlisted for YDS, which accepted 44%. The applicant pools may not be the same, but I feel like the schools really are looking for different things.

Giraffe40 Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Where did you find those acceptance rates? Both from emails from the schools--Yale sent one this morning I assume to all applicants. ND the email was just to the accepted MTS students.
whubbla Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 got into Yale's concentrated program! Does anyone know if these are the more selective programs within the Yale MARs? Apparently the concentrated MARs are the very selective, but I don't have numbers for you. The 44% acceptance rate that people have been quoting about Yale is for MDiv and MARs, though rates within MDiv differ from within Comprehensive MAR, which differ from Concentrated MARs, just so everyone knows...
LisaTO Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Do ya'll think the Harvard decisions will be out soon?
