marXian Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I emailed Indiana at the beginning of last week. Here is the response I got from the DGS on February 21, 2012: "We are nearing the point when we can send out notifications, but are not quite there yet." Thanks!
11Q13 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) My only outstanding application is to UT-Austin's Religious Studies department. Has anybody heard word from them yet? Why didn't you send an outstanding application to every place you applied? That doesn't seem like a very smart strategy... I got an email from Yale, but I haven't bothered to look at the website since I know it's a rejection Edited February 27, 2012 by 11Q13 Hilversum, TheHymenAnnihilator and Febronia 2 1
mamastudent Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 A friend from here at PTS was just placed on the waitlist at Virginia. So that ship has sailed.
Jpoz Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Baylor's results are in. Check your application if you applied. Rejected here.
Laxman1945 Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Anyone hear from SMU religious studies last week / have plans for what to do with their acceptance? I am waitlisted.
single_individual Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Baylor's results are in. Check your application if you applied. Rejected here. Baylor's theology PhD has not made any official rejections/ wait lists etc. according to the department. They have made offers but nothing else as far as I have been informed.
The Pierre Menard Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 I got an email from Yale, but I haven't bothered to look at the website since I know it's a rejection I would encourage you to check it, 11Q13. Though I received a call from Dale Martin on Friday informing me of Yale's decision, I also received the same email directing me to the website to see an acceptance letter.
11Q13 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 rumor has it Notre Dame acceptances come out tomorrow
katholou Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 rumor has it Notre Dame acceptances come out tomorrow I'd be happy to hear it, but I was told that Wednesday and Thursday would be the notification days.
11Q13 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I'd be happy to hear it, but I was told that Wednesday and Thursday would be the notification days. oh shoot, that's what I meant. I thought today was Tuesday...I need sleep.
single_individual Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 When you hear of decisions and rumors of acceptance, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For applicant will rise against applicant, and university against seminary; there will be pos-doc applications in a few years; there will be famines of hiring new faculty. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs for a young academic. Thanks for this outis - smiles are not common 'round my neck of the woods - it has been a welcome addition to my day.
divreihayamim Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Notre Dame CJA people: If I haven't heard anything from Notre Dame so far (ie no interview) is it safe to say I will be rejected? Or is there still a chance to be waitlisted? Thanks

Or is there still a chance to be waitlisted? Thanks I'm not a CJA person, but I know there have been years where people were accepted off of the waitlist who had not been flown out for an interview.
cadences Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 i never could get into shakespeare Dude...that's from the Synoptic gospels......
Lux Lex Pax Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Dude...that's from the Synoptic gospels...... I don't think they read the bible at Harvard. sogdia, TheHymenAnnihilator, Febronia and 2 others 2 3

Or is there still a chance to be waitlisted? Thanks There's an outside possibility for you. I think they interviewed 9 people for 4 spots. I know of at least three that are considering good offers elsewhere. Again, not good odds, but not impossible.
theoedu Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 I don't think they read the bible at Harvard. that's such a tragedy that people in div. schools don't even read the bible! Febronia and TheHymenAnnihilator 2
11Q13 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Dude...that's from the Synoptic gospels...... Yeah, I know... My sense of humor has been particularly self deprecating toward my intelligence lately. Just a coincidence I'm sure.
Brooke Brassard Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Any Canadians applying to schools in the US? Any success?
Deezkneez Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I am American by birth but have lived in Canada for several years--my entire undergraduate education and MA was completed in Quebec. I was rejected from a variety of programs (Harvard Th.D; UT-Austin; Northwestern), but was accepted to Columbia University with a full package for "History of Christianity". Moreover, I have an interview in the Department of German Studies at Princeton (with an emphasis on medieval German literature), which looks very hopeful! I am still waiting to hear from Harvard (Ph.D) and Chicago. I will be very happy to accept Columbia's gracious offer, regardless of other offers!
cadences Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah, I know... My sense of humor has been particularly self deprecating toward my intelligence lately. Just a coincidence I'm sure. Haha...my bad then.
LateAntique Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Received a phone call yesterday that I'm in at Notre Dame for History of Christianity. sacklunch, Final_countdown321, The Pierre Menard and 2 others 5
