Sky Pilot Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Congrats on the acceptance to ANTS. I hope to hear from BU soon. Maybe we'll take some classes together through BTI. Good luck with Harvard! Thanks!! I'm pretty pleased. And absolutely-- the BTI is a great resource!!
Thanks4Downvoting Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 FYI: I'm planning on calling Candler and Vandy to discuss when when the average Joes (not full tuition award-winners) will know more about funding, and, in the case of Vandy, when average-Joes will know about acceptance.

Thanks4Downvoting Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Vandy - rolling admissions Candler - should know by March 1st about other funding. tacotruck, craprap, TheHymenAnnihilator and 2 others 1 4
new mexico Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 Vandy - rolling admissions Candler - should know by March 1st about other funding. In your signature it says you applied to BU. For some reason I thought you weren't applying there. That's great though!! That's my top choice right now. I wish it was next week or the week after. I don't think we'll know till the last week of Feb or first week of March
Thanks4Downvoting Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I just want to hear back from somebody...It's killing me. craprap, foodtruck and TheHymenAnnihilator 3

xsjsx Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I just viewed my online decision from Candler...I was accepted into the MTS program! Nothing about funding yet but they said a letter was sent out this week and would include more information.

Did they send you an email letting you know the decision was ready or did you just keep checking opus?
aselfmadewinter Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Checked my status on McGill's website, and I've been admitted! Did anyone else apply there this year? I'm a bit worried about funding, going by what people have said in past years on this forum about their funding for RelStud.
xsjsx Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 That's great! When did you submit your application? Did they send you an email letting you know the decision was ready or did you just keep checking opus? I submitted my application the last week in January. How about you? I kept checking OPUS and it showed up this morning.
EthicsPhD Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Accepted to Boston College PhD program in Theology on February 11.
phoskaialetheia Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I submitted my application the last week in January. How about you? I kept checking OPUS and it showed up this morning. I did too but my last recommendation wasn't submitted until Feb. 1. Hopefully I should hear soon. This waiting is gonna kill me. I check OPUS compulsively several times a day.
new mexico Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 one more week till BU? *crosses fingers*
Thanks4Downvoting Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 one more week till BU? *crosses fingers* I would add my toes to the crossing, but it hurts if you do it for too long, making a week nearly impossible TheHymenAnnihilator, foodtruck, tacotruck and 1 other 4
xsjsx Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 For those of you who have heard from Vanderbilt or have heard about people hearing from them: how do they let applicants know? Phone, email, letter?
phoskaialetheia Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 For those of you who have heard from Vanderbilt or have heard about people hearing from them: how do they let applicants know? Phone, email, letter? When I called them they told me that the notifications are all sent by mail, but a couple posts on this board have mentioned a few phone calls for some top scholarship recipients.
Thanks4Downvoting Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 At this point, there shouldn't be any phone calls from Vandy since they are reserved for top scholarship recipients. It's all about watching the post now. Also, if and when you get your letter, please post it on here so I can start looking! craprap, tacotruck, TheHymenAnnihilator and 1 other 4
aselfmadewinter Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Results for Theology (TST) at the University of Toronto are out. I suspect I might be the only Canadian posting this year, but just in case anyone else cares, the admissions are out for PhDs and MAs. I've been accepted for the PhD there, which is exciting, but no big surprise because I was an inernal applicant. Now I'm in the bittersweet position of having admits to the three big Canadian schools, but having mostly grim funding prospects. At McGill, I've been offered only TA opportunities with no fellowship or funding, from experience I know TST gives tuition but no stipend, and TAships are hard to come by, and at UBC I've been unofficially told I'll be getting a TAship and some funding but nothing concrete. It seems like UBC's my best hope unless I get SSHRC. I don't know whether to celebrate or have an anxiety attack about finances! Talk about mixed emotions... Moral of the story: if you're Canadian and want to stay in Canada, have a really good SSHRC application or give up the dream and go south! How's everyone else dealing with the financial anxiety that I'm sure we all get as RelStud/Theology applicants? (My apologies in advance for the cheese and whine... I should really be happy now that I have some acceptances, but it's hard to concentrate with the possibility of four more years of debt hanging over my head! All I can do is take Phil 4:19 to heart and hope and pray for the best)

aselfmadewinter Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I got into TST today as well. Any idea when our colleges will get to us with financial offers? What college did you apply to? Also, what program? If it's Emmanuel and a ThD, you're in luck, because they have funding. If it's any of the others, it's a little more difficult to get funding and it usually comes pretty late. Also, if it's St. Mike's you have to apply for financial aid, which is due tomorrow. I'm not sure about the others, but I'm pretty sure you have to apply to most of them except for Emmanuel if you're going for a ThD. It's kinda too bad they don't just pool the funding, it'd really make things easier. Edited February 18, 2011 by aselfmadewinter

I've heard so many different things about funding from students and professors I have no idea what to expect!
aselfmadewinter Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Make sure you get your application in for funding by tomorrow if you haven't done it already. I'll put it this way... Emmanuel somehow got money this year (dunno how, and I just found out about it today...), and offers generous stipends. The others offer decent funding for tuition. My MA would have been entirely paid for except that I had to take a bunch of extra language courses to meet requirements. Just don't expect any kind of stipend. I'm at St. Mike's, and I can say the funding's not bad, especially considering how hard it is to get MA funding. They really encourage you to apply for SSHRC, because stipends are out of the question. They work on a "everyone gets some funding" sort of system rather than a "some people get alot while others get none" kinda deal. It's fair, and not bad, but you end up in debt if you can't find a part time job or SSHRC to cover living expenses. (btw, PM me if you haven't applied for funding yet, I can direct you to the application forms and tell you where to fax it) Edited February 18, 2011 by aselfmadewinter

aselfmadewinter Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Also, are you sure its due tomorrow? I was almost positive it was due Feb 4. Yeah it was, but there was an extension because the registrar forgot to email a reminder. EDIT: whoops, just checked the e-mail, it's due on Feb 25. Sorry about that, I knew it was a Friday, but I thought it was tomorrow. Edited February 18, 2011 by aselfmadewinter
radixlecti Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Does anyone know when we should expect to hear back from Duke?
