According to the results search, Baylor sent out several email invitations for interviews today. 

 

Anyone get one? 

 

My inbox is an echo chamber full of cobwebs and sadness... 

 

But at least I got to meet Cornel West yesterday.

I don't know about Baylor, but I got a generic email from Loyola Chicago and Fordham today.  That's something.  And Cornel West is super cool!

That is unfortunate news as my inbox is also empty. I expect we'll see some more show up in the results later on today.

Where are you seeing this in the results search? It seems like people say stuff like this and then I can't find anything.

 

And no, I didn't get one  :(

The top of the site. It took me a bit to find it too. When I first read about it, I thought it was a separate forum or something. It's not.

That is a very accurate gif. I don't know why I thought I would be incredibly productive in January. Waiting is tough work.

The Baylor notifications don't list their specialty so I don't know what to make of them.

The lack of specialty/sub-field gives me a faint glimmer of hope. Let's hope they are not NT...

One of them listed GRE scores though, so if it is just trolling that is weird. Regardless, people in Religion should ALWAYS list their subfield.

Well yeah, posting GRE scores only adds depth to the charade. Some people get-off on knowing that they have personally caused another to feel anxiety.

Amen!

Then it would be just as easy to add a fake sub-field.

I am not one of the posters on the results page, but I also got an email invitation today from Baylor.  I don't know about the subfields of the other two, but mine is NT.  I don't want to answer for the others, but they might be (as I am) trying to be discreet about posting identifiable information.

Thanks for the information. That is quite disappointing. I thought I had a good shot there after a promising meeting at SBL.

Two questions: 1) What time did you get this email? 2) Was it from a POI or from department staff?

1)  around noon today

2)  email from department staff with invitation letter, then follow-up email from subfield representative.

Ok, I just ask because I know someone at Baylor and they were told by a Prof this afternoon that the Prof was going to a meeting this evening for them to make admissions decisions. So, I'm getting very contradictory information right now.

 This mother-fucker is a fucking troll. I emailed Baylor and asked if they had made decisions--to which they responded that they had not. This guy is full of shit.

 

Let's not break out the pitchforks just yet. I'm hoping there is some sort of misunderstanding. When did you email?
