Thanks4Downvoting Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If there are any of you old timers or people who are applying to PhDs or ThDs currently, I'm curious what your advice would be to someone currently going through a MDiv program about preparation for a doctorate. My research centers on conscientious objection, non-violence, and pacifism and their relation to religion in the 20th century. I'm also interested in sacrament and resistance during Vietnam War protests. With that being said: What GPA do I need to be in the running? 3.8+ seems pretty doable, but a 4.0 is probably not going to happen. There will be some A- or B+'s that creep into my transcript. I'm planning on doing 2 or 3 languages while I'm here and I've started German, will start French, and have Latin. Do you have any advice on how to prepare myself over the next 3 years to be competitive? It's early yet, but I like long-term goals. Thank you!

11Q13 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Herr Wolf, Apart from languages which you mentioned, the biggest advantage of the MDiv is having more time to get to know professors. Find out who you need to know and get to know them. Welcome to HDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
