thumbnail72 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If so, do you mind sharing your financial offer? I was accepted under the Systematic Theology sub-field and was offered tuition plus a $16k fellowship for three years, to be followed by a $10k dissertation stipend for at least one year. So far, it's my only funded acceptance but I'm pretty pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postbib Yeshuist Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Did you get a sense of how many others had been admitted? With this being a tight year, I'm thinking my wait-listed status likely won't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbnail72 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Did you get a sense of how many others had been admitted? With this being a tight year, I'm thinking my wait-listed status likely won't change. No, there wasn't anything said about other admits or how many had applied or the like. I'm not sure what a typical year looks like for them in terms of how many get accepted into which sub-fields or how populated the wait-list is. Last year, at any rate, a buddy of mine was wait-listed (who I thought was a shoo-in) and I got turned down flat, so I'm not sure what to make of their process. I hope they come through for you, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postbib Yeshuist Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I checked their site and they have a list of how many get in and how many graduate each year. Looks like 5/year and the completion rate is barely 40%. I am debating trying again next year, since I'd like to work with Rieger. I'm at Brite Divinity in Fort Worth, so the ability to visit is a strong point, though that didn't help much this year. Of course, Iliff is a straight-up acceptance, so there's the whole "bird in the hand" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postbib Yeshuist Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 A bit of an update: Apparently someone, somewhere turned down their offer. Since I was #1 on the wait-list, it looks like I'm in. Dr. Wood sent an acceptance letter today. Assuming I get the financial package suggested on the website, I'll be accepting within minutes of opening the letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
