My chance for PhD program for the following schools?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello, I'm an ordained pastor, my nationality is South Korea but I'm currently working in US as a pastor.

I've earned my BA in Theology(GPA 4.35/4.0) from a university in South Korea, and my MDiv degree from Andrews Theological Seminary(GPA 3.9/4.0).

I have several leadership experience.  

I took both Greek and Hebrew classes up to intermediate level. 

I'm applying for PhD programs in systematic theology.  

the problem is I have no formal research experience.

 

What are my chances for the PhD programs at the following schools(or you can suggest any other school)? What schools would be realistic for me to be admitted? I want to give up on schools that is not a realistic at all for me.. Any advice on this would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

Uk:

-Cambridge 

-Aberdeen 

-Edinburgh 

USA:

-Yale

-Princeton Theological Seminary

-Duke

-U Chicago

-Emory

-UC Berkeley (GTU)

-Boston University 

-Vanderbilt

-Stanford

-Georgetown

-Johns Hopkins 

-Fordham 

-Baylor

-Columbia

-UVA

-Brown

-UPenn

It might be a late reply. But, your list seems not consistent in terms of the subject of areas, strengths, and reputations. If you want to study the Systematic theology, you may more focus on the schools that have a good faculty line-up in the specialty. If they have no faculty teaching the ST, you would not have chances to get admission. I think your prospective schools are absurd because some schools do not have a faculty or program for the ST.
