calluther Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Just got my Duke ThD rejection letter today in the mailbox, dated Feb 4, 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanN Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Me too. It was terse, given the amount of time and energy spent applying. On the other hand... what more could be said?

MikeW Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm told that they only accepted 6 new students for 2011. It gets more competitive every year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Postbib Yeshuist Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm told that they only accepted 6 new students for 2011. It gets more competitive every year.... In a program with a Duke grad, and his word is that they accept one applicant every other year. (PhD on the other years). Applying for both ThD & PhD = rejection. Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but I have little reason to doubt his gnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomenologist Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 In a program with a Duke grad, and his word is that they accept one applicant every other year. (PhD on the other years). Applying for both ThD & PhD = rejection. As I understood it, Duke Divinity School accepts about 6 students per year to the ThD, but Duke University Religion Department accepts only 1 applicant per year to the Theology program of the PhD in the Religion department. (I think they accept 5-6 students overall in the Religion department, but one in each focus area: Judaism, Christianity/Theology, etc.) Although, is this true that if you apply to both the Divinity ThD and the Religion department PhD it's an auto-rejection? That's psycho, I would've definitely applied to both before I heard that. Do I understand you correctly, Postbib Yeshuist?

No, that used to be frowned upon (applying to both programs), but that's no longer the case. I applied to both programs and was accepted to the ThD to do Theology and Ethics (but did get the ol' reject letter from the PhD). Hope that's helpful.
