bibleprofwannabe Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 So..anybody here planning to turn down Emory . Trying to stay hopeful and hope this doesn't drag out until April. Stillwaiting, are you on Emory's wait list? If so, how did you find out?
crackthesky Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) So I was under the impression that Loyola Chicago contacted everyone who was accepted and wait listed via e-mail. I was told they accepted two applicants, and someone posted in the results forum that they were #1 on the wait list should one of the candidates decline. I have not received any e-mails from Loyola but when checking my postal mail tonight, I received a letter of acceptance. It said that if I applied for a merit award, I would receive notification of the outcome separately from the Graduate School. So those of you who have not yet heard back from Loyola Chicago....there may still be hope! Perhaps they took more people? Or perhaps I was on a wait list and didn't know it. Or maybe they awarded the two people already accepted with the Merit Awards and I was accepted without financial aid. Either way... if you applied be sure to check your postal mail often! Edit: this was for the Integrative Studies in Ethics and Theology program. Edited February 28, 2013 by crackthesky
HazelMotes Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Congratulations on your acceptance! I'm not sure how the program works there. So I was under the impression that Loyola Chicago contacted everyone who was accepted and wait listed via e-mail. I was told they accepted two applicants, and someone posted in the results forum that they were #1 on the wait list should one of the candidates decline. I was the one who posted that on the results. I received an email from the program director who said that I was in the first waitlist slot for ISET program with a Theology concentration. Are you an Ethics concentration?
crackthesky Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks! I mentioned in my SOP that I hoped to pursue systematics as my focal area. Perhaps the ISET program offers acceptances respectively for ethics and systematics applicants? Either way, I thought it was strange that I have not received any e-mails from them. When I checked my postal mail tonight I thought to myself, "this envelope is awfully large for a rejection notice."
luciernaga Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone have any info on Harvard GSAS Religion? ThD (HDS) has been out for a week or so but I can't find any info on the PhD.

Neem217 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Anyone have any info on Harvard GSAS Religion? ThD (HDS) has been out for a week or so but I can't find any info on the PhD. Harvard GSAS Committee on the Study of Religion hasn't sent out acceptances yet. They usually come like 1.5-2 weeks after HDS sends out the THD results. I was told results should come late Feb./early March, maybe a little later this year due to the snow. The PhD has more concentrations so perhaps that's also why it takes longer. Should be noted that historically admitees hear first via email or phone, and rejection letters go out later. yhujikol 1
yhujikol Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Does any body know what the chances of getting into both the PhD and ThD at Harvard is?

Thanks so much! And again, congrats on your acceptance, too!
Neem217 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Does any body know what the chances of getting into both the PhD and ThD at Harvard is? I don't know about chances. I cannot offer you numbers. It does happen, but rarely. I know someone who got into both last year. But it's more often that people get in one or the other, not both. I guess really its most often people get in neither... However, after talking to my advisor at HDS he did note that though the admissions committee is the same for the PhD and the ThD, they may rank people differently for each program. Having said that, let's say the ThD took 6 this year for its 6 concentrations/fields. The PhD, though it has like 18 concentrations/fields, they probably won't take an individual for each field... For example, historically, if you do HB/OT, you have a better chance of getting in the ThD than the PhD simply b/c rarely do they admit HB/OT people into the PhD program, and that may be because Harvard also has the doctoral program in NELC. So, I don't know. It's weird... Edited February 28, 2013 by Neem217
ecotheology518 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I know Baylor and UVA have sent out acceptances already, so why don't they just put me out of my misery and reject me instead of stringing me along? LisaTO 1
bibleprofwannabe Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 I heard from three schools today (Emory, McMaster U, U of Toronto). Quite an active day. One "nay" and two "yays".
HazelMotes Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 A friend of mine just received a call informing him that he'd been accepted with funding at Marquette. Apparently those offers are going out today (or at least some of them). I'm thrilled for him. Meanwhile I am burning a hole in my phone with my eyes.

You're also deadset on exploding it with texts, from what I can hear from the carrel next door.
Body Politics Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 What was his field? Historical theology
HazelMotes Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 What was his field? Historical theology. He's interested in patristics.

stillwaiting2321 Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Stillwaiting, are you on Emory's wait list? If so, how did you find out? Bibleprofwannabe, After not hearing anything at all and seeing the "Rejected" post on the Results Page, I called Emory's LGS directly and waited for them to tell me that they forgot to notify me of my rejection. Instead, I was told "the PCRL Faculty recommended me for admission, but I was not in the first round of offers." But I still haven't received any official notice.
HazelMotes Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Well, it appears that Marquette has sent out offers for systematic theology, historical theology, and NT. I guess they all went out at the same time. Damn. It's been a shit week. Edited March 1, 2013 by HazelMotes
Ubi charitas Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Well, it appears that Marquette has sent out offers for systematic theology, historical theology, and NT. I guess they all went out at the same time. Damn. It's be a shit week. How do you know? I haven't seen anything on the results page.
Ubi charitas Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Never mind. I see it now. Anyone have any idea how many spots they offer?
Body Politics Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 About a month and a half ago I brewed my first batch of homebrew beer. It was a Pale Ale kit that I beefed up considerably. Anyway, I decided I'd call it "Ph.D. Pale Ale" and that I'd drink it, in either joy or sorrow, when my results started coming back. My friends and I aren't all out of the woods yet, but damn it is this beer good. Kuriakos 1
belichick Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I wish UT Austin would get on the ball. Their welcome weekend to newly admitted doctoral students is this weekend.
luciernaga Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 Belichick, how do you know that UT Austin has a welcome weekend this weekend? They accepted me (no details yet on funding), so it strikes me as odd that they didn't mention this welcome weekend.
