I am honestly doubtful, as I haven't had any interview requests and one of those two (BUSTH) has been doing interviews already. The other (Garrett) is a shot in the dark. No clue on their process and they don't have a status tracker on their application portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did apply again, but I have not heard anything as yet. I wonder if that means I'm dinged... Have all subfields gone out yet, or just Moral Theo and WRWC? Does anyone know? What number are you on the waitlist? The wording of the email leads me to think all offers have been made ("This year we made 22 initial offers across the six areas of study and are aiming for a class of 20 students with a good balance across the areas. If our yield this year is comparable to previous years, we would expect 16-20 of the first offers to accept. As of now, we have had one informal acceptance and no declines.") I don't know what number I am on the waitlist. I don't imagine I'm at the top, so I'm making peace with not getting in! I hope you get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a phone call yesterday. (Absolutely made my week and I can't believe this is really happening.) My track is WRWC, so perhaps things might still work out for you with moral theology.

I wonder how popular each concentration is. Does anyone know of any stats on that? I get the impression from poking around the forums that liturgy and moral theology are the big ones. I know one of my undergrad friends applied to the moral theology MTS and I also had a professor suggest I apply to it at one point since at the time I was focusing my research on Thomistic ethics. But I finally found my passion in comparative religion. For disclosure's sake for what apparently works numbers-wise, I had a 166V/149Q/5.0, 3.92 UGPA, 4.0 GGPA (philosophy), and a pile of conference presentations.

UChicago's decisions normally come out in the first week of March, though in the past years people were posting results around Feb. 27. Yale's decisions come out on March 15. I think soitgoes was referring to PhD programs, which release decisions considerably earlier. Last year Yale’s PhD decisions came out around February 15 (give or take a day or two). Chicago was the same day, if I remember correctly (it was a lot of rejections for me in one day!). MTS/MAR/MA won’t be until March, I’d bet. It’s curious why Yale is taking so long! Interviews happened a few weeks ago. Edited February 16, 2020 by Dewey soitgoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

professionalmethodist Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) I heard from a friend who interviewed with BUSTH (Phd) that they would hear on Friday about their status. So, it appears that BUSTH is a week delayed than they have been historically, but there will be some answers this week.

Sorry to hear, @duckie0817. Congrats @Dewey! Very encouraging to hear about someone that persisted after rejections and got in the next year. Did you do something differently this year in your application process? Or focus on some area of improvement? I'm still waiting for results, but thinking ahead to what I will do if this year isn't it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
