luciernaga Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Grad cafe has already burned me twice this application season. In both cases I heard about people getting interviews (in one case even in my subfield) to programs I was highly interested in... and the next day (after much soul searching), I too was graced with an interview invite. Sometimes I wonder if we're not part of some grand, sinister psychological experiment designed to see how we react to stress... coffeekid, Kuriakos and Ubi charitas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriGeek Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I am reading a lot of posts about the Duke Ph.D. program, but I haven't seen anything about the Th.D. program. Does anyone have some information about where they are in the review process. Also, what about the Emory Ethics and Society program? Any news on that front. I haven't seen anything to indicate that interview requests have gone out in that area. I have a applied to Duke Th.D./Ph.D., Emory, UVA and SMU.

Duke ThD doesn't do interviews, thus the relatively quick turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazelMotes Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) They should be sending out notifications by mid-February. Duke ThD doesn't do interviews, thus the relatively quick turnaround. Apparently faster than that. According to the results search, someone has been accepted into Duke's ThD program already. It seems really early to be hearing from them, since the deadline was only Jan 15. Anyway, congratulations to the person who was made an offer, and thanks for listing your concentration.

diazalon Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I asked a student from another department and it seems that the interview doesn't sound so "selective". According to her, faculty members would call you only if they would like to offer you a spot, and want to figure out whether Yale is your first choice. It doesn't sound like interviewing five to pick two, things like that. But I could be wrong. The interviews at Yale Religious Studies most definitely are selective, at least in NT and Early Christianity. They send out more interviews than they have spots (given that there is usually only one spot for each).

Body Politics Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Got an email last week from Denver University-Iliff. Today's the day the faculty begins reviewing application files. It's weird knowing this, a little bit hopeful, and a lotta bit uncomfortable. :sigh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazelMotes Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 University of Notre Dame press just sent me an ad for their new releases. I about had a heart attack when the notification popped up in the upper corner of my screen and I saw who it was from. I suppose that you could say I'm a bit on edge. any more news on the ThD admits at Duke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubi charitas Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 any more news on the ThD admits at Duke? I can confirm that nobody has been admitted to Duke ThD yet. That post on the results page prompted me to ask a professor about it, and he said that nobody has been admitted. The faculty have until the 31st to submit their recommendations, and the admissions committee hasn't even met yet. That posting is bogus.

ecotheology518 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I see someone received an acceptance from UVA and some interview and waitlist notifications from Baylor. Has anyone received a rejection from either of these schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndlessAshley Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm not sure what to make of that UVa admittance. I'm here now, and was told that the admissions committee doesn't officially meet until early-mid February. Perhaps it's unofficial correspondence from a POI?

Not saying the UVA acceptance can't be true, but it would be the earliest acceptance posting for UVA in the archive of gradcafe's results (7+ years) by about a week. Anyone want to claim it?

NTstudent Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm not seeing the acceptance notification for UVa in the results search. Was it taken down? Or am I missing something? It certainly seems odd that someone would post an acceptance this early for the above mentioned reasons along with Endless Ashley's insight as someone who is already at UVa. Until I hear more, I'm assuming [read: longing] this was a mistake of some kind and UVa is still waiting to decide [read: on me]. All joking aside, UVa looks to be a fantastic program and if someone did already get accepted congrats, but for today at least I'm keeping hope alive. sogdia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondsdw Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes, the Virginia entry seems a bit odd all alone and so early. Same goes for the UT interview last week. Don't know what to think about either one of them. Also frustrating that we continue to get no subfield on several of the postings, although that does allow me to just always tell myself it's someone in another area... Anyone here get an interview with Yale in Ancient Christianity? Or happen to know if Ancient Christianity interview requests went out along with the others (American, NT) last Friday? Not holding out much hope there anyways, but just thought I'd check and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that the departmental decisions are not all being made at the same time so you might still be in the clear! Stay hopeful! (Said the pot to the kettle....)

Kuriakos Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yes. Technically, they don't create the wait list until after interview weekend, but I'm supposed to let them know if I accept an offer somewhere else so it sounded like a wait list email to me.
