theoedu Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 anybody has applied for the Th.D. at Duke Div. School? Let's share what you know, think, and feel about this year's Duke Th.D.applications!
theoedu Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 does Duke Th.D. invite people for interviews? I have called them, and they sounded a bit equivalent about it. so I'm asking this to you guys.

calluther Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Just got my Duke ThD rejection letter today in the mailbox, dated Feb 4, 2011
RyanN Posted February 12, 2011 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? Just got my Duke ThD rejection letter today in the mailbox, dated Feb 4, 2011
MikeW Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I'm told that they only accepted 6 new students for 2011. It gets more competitive every year....
Postbib Yeshuist Posted March 3, 2011 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.
Phenomenologist Posted March 4, 2011 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? Phenomenologist 1

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. Edited March 4, 2011 by scdude

That's tremendously helpful, thanks for clarifying with up-to-date info!!
