penelope Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Just curious if I am the only one that hasn't heard from Harvard. I don't want to call or email if not all notifications have gone out. There were issues with my financial aid portion of the application, I wonder if that automatically ruled me out.
general_jr Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 PhD or ThD? I applied to the PhD program and haven't heard word yet. It seems like those who have heard are mostly in the ThD program...
penelope Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 PhD, glad to hear I am not the only one.
whakare Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I think one person posted that s/he got an acceptance call from the committee on the study of religion. I haven't heard anything else... But, you know, I don't like the idea of receiving a cold little letter, a generic rejection in my mail late in March.
cheapham Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Notification of ThD acceptance/rejection should be posted on the application website. Some phone calls have been made as well. Letters to be sent Tuesday. PhD notification hasn't been done electronically/digitally yet...but decisions have been made and some phone calls have gone out. I imagine letters to be sent this week as well. At this point, if you haven't heard anything from either program, and you can't wait any longer...I'd give them a call. Best of luck.
thumbnail72 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Just got a rejection letter in the mail today for the PhD from Harvard. For those still waiting, I didn't get an email and there wasn't info on the website. ...I strongly suspect this is what purgatory will feel like...but perhaps not quite as tormenting. Accepted: Marquette (no funding) Rejected: Duke (Thd), Princeton Theological Seminary, Yale, SMU, Harvard (PhD) Pending: Emory, UVA, Chicago, Dayton
downcasteyes Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I don't believe Harvard's Committee on the Study of Religion (for the PhD) posts electronically. I've heard from a couple who received postal notices of acceptance last week. I received a postal rejection on Saturday--the letter was dated and mailed on 2/27 (mailed on Friday). So depending on the distance you live from Cambridge, you may hear (if rejected) sometime early this week.
