Therewillbeluke Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Is that how it usually goes? Seems the most logical to me, but it is even the rule for my case either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh J. Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 At Duke I applied for the MA in their religion department. Boston University was art history, as is Tufts. HDS is MTS and Wake Forest is MA in Religion. Ok, gotcha. I applied at Duke for the MTS in the Divinity School. Haven't heard a thing but I'm thinking it will be another couple of weeks.

taycross Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Ok, gotcha. I applied at Duke for the MTS in the Divinity School. Haven't heard a thing but I'm thinking it will be another couple of weeks. Why do you think it will be another couple of weeks? Last year's results for the Duke MTS came in between March 2 and March 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh J. Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Why do you think it will be another couple of weeks? Last year's results for the Duke MTS came in between March 2 and March 8. Just relying on what Duke said, six weeks from app date. That, and trying not to get my hopes up since I've still not heard from Vanderbilt and their application deadline is two weeks sooner than Duke.

taycross Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Has anyone received word from ND's MTS program? No. But, according to last year's results, people heard back as soon as the the 3rd. This coming week seems most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indefiniteintegral Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So today I received an email from Duke. Sadly, it wasn't the email I was hoping for but it was interesting. It said, "We've reviewed your application with great interest and are finalizing our admission decisions." In the meantime, they wanted to send out a letter outlining how their tuition waivers and costs add up. The reason I thought this is was interesting is because when I was rejected from them last year, they sent me no such email before hand. However, they would be offering $10,000 less than Wake Forest while their tuition costs $10,000 more. Seems like that would be a no brainer for me. MTS or MDiv?

Josh J. Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hey all, The Ph.D applicants have had their discussion going for some time, so I figured its about time for the M*s to have some fun. I'm interested in Historical Theology, particularly medieval theology and the Franciscans. I'm applying to: Yale Divinity Princeton Theological Chicago Divinity Harvard Divinity Notre Dame Fordham St. Louis Boston College GTU Therewillbeluke: How was the application for GTU?

Therewillbeluke Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Therewillbeluke: How was the application for GTU? Josh It was very easy, I think I finished everything in one sitting. The only hiccup was that I listed the Franciscan School of Theology as my first choice, but they're moving to San Diego to be a part of Santa Clara Univeristy so I had reorder things. I ended up listing the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology 1st, Church Divinity School of the Pacific 2nd, and San Francisco School of Theology 3rd. I got an email from DSPT last week because they want a writing sample and stuff. A lot of people from my undergrad go there (4 right now), so that was a big draw for me.

THANK YOU, but just to be clear, which friday? and also, does that mean we find out this week and find out about aid next week? or both on "next friday" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unacclimated Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I think that is a good question. I thought it was pretty clear at first but when you think about it it can be tricky. The call was made either last Friday or a day or two before. So saying this week could only mean the week which has passed. So this upcoming Friday would then be the next Friday Edited March 4, 2013 by unacclimated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
