Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithgirl Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I haven't heard anything yet, but am hoping to. Has anyone been invited yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisko23 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Greetings, Not sure it's appropriate to inquire, as the poster above did, "what questions did they ask?" Let's remember we're applying to DIVINITY SCHOOL. As such, we're expected to be role models of ethics. Just food for thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithgirl Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Maybe you can just opt out if you think it's inappropriate. We are Div School applicants -- that doesn't mean we are supposed to decide ethics for OTHERS. SHEESH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisko23 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Greetings, Faithgirl Pointing out the inappropriateness of a particular line of inquiry is not a matter of "deciding ethics for others." The original poster's question is tantamount to asking a classmate "what was on the exam?" If you in particular are totally ok with that as someone entering Divinity School, where -- yes -- we do deal with ETHICAL issues in society, then, alas, that reveals the type of Divinity student and subsequent professional you will be. Maybe you can serve in the next Trump administration, as his spiritual and ethics advisor. You appear to have comparable values. Nevertheless, thank you for your prudent suggestion that I hop off this thread, considering the caliber of participants on it currently. That is good counsel. Accordingly, I am now signing off... No further reading or writing here on this thread. Stay safe and well, all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBH Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 There are, of course, lots of perfectly ethical ways to reply to this question. Instead of thinking of it as "what was on the exam?" we could, for example, think of it more like "what is the *format* of the exam?" If there are charitable and uncharitable ways to interpret a question, then I would hesitate either to condemn it as "inappropriate" without clarification, or to condemn a stranger on the internet as a Trump-level moral vacuum. Personally I'm just waiting and hoping, and curious to hear anyone else's news :) runit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faithgirl Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Yes, Sisko, you do seem to be the sort to hurl insults and run -- after denying you issued ethical condemnation, which you did. I'm glad you've left the thread and will pray for your healing. flowersofindia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3892 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hi everyone - I applied to the MRPL program. Haven't received any communication from HDS besides the "your application is complete" email on 1/25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesed2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I also applied to the Harvard Divinity School MTS program and haven't received any email regarding the interview. Will every applicant get an interview? or just those who are selected? does anyone know about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanLiu Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hi guys, I am an international student applying for MTS program. To update everything about the application: I submitted my application at 5th of Jan, got an "application was completed" email at 27th of Jan. But haven't received invitation for the interview.

thinkinganame Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Does that mean applicants who do not receive interview invitations won't be accepted? That is to say, are interviews the Must processes for all MTS MDiv students who got the offers last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m tempted to ask but always shy away from bugging admissions reps. I applied to the MTS for this fall; no invitation yet. Who knows if they go down a list by name, program, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DharmaBummer Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I had my Mdiv interview on week ending February 3. Now the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadygaze108 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 If you have been interviewed, this is a sign that you are on the list be admitted. Now, I don't know if they interview more students than they can take and then narrow down the list. I doubt it because HDS accepts a large cohort of more than 100 students - at least for the past two years. I am currently at HDS. I helped a friend of mine with his HDS application - after having been denied admission three times by HDS. None of the times he was denied did he receive a request to interview. The year he was admitted, he did get one! Good luck! m3892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DharmaBummer Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I already wrote to steady gaze, but I wanted to give a more public show of thanks for the comforting words. steadygaze108 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
