I'm applying to theology programs (MA and PhD) and philosophy programs (PhD).

Theology: Notre Dame (MTS), Duke Div (MTS), Duke Uni (PhD), Princeton Uni (PhD), Marquette Uni (PhD), Uni. of Virginia (PhD). MAYBE: U.of Chicago Div School, Yale Div, Princeton Sem, or Wycliff College in Uni. of Toronto.

Philosophy (Social & Political, Critical Theory, Hermeneutics): Uni. of Chicago, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Uni. of Toronto, McGill, and Uni. of Chicago's "Committee on Social Thought." MAYBE: Loyola.

I will have my BA in philosophy in the spring from a reputable school. 3.9 GPA, no GRE yet.

I'm already married with two toddlers, so I have to go to a program that is fully funded. Thankfully, I've kept my grades up, so this is a real possibility for me.

glad to know people are going through the same experience (because my non-academic friends and family keep looking at me and saying "oh, don't worry, you'll get in", and all i can do is politely smile and say "thank you for your confidence")
