I did interview with them. As far as I understand their department, though, you interview with the teaching group for your degree but then the whole department ultimately makes the decisions. It's a bit weird and I'm not sure how much pull some teaching cohorts have over others. The department is also split among faculty who are primarily based at the divinity school and those who are solely based at the graduate school. It's weird.

Anyone hear from Emory?

Did you interview with UVA?

Friendly reminder to accept or decline any invitations y'all might have ASAP once you've made your decision. Those sitting for what feels like an eternity on waitlists will bless your name until the end of the age! The sooner our fate may be confirmed either way, the better.

Please don't be that guy that waits until April 15th to accept or decline even when they already know where they want to go. 😭
