taycross Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Just got an acceptance call for the Duke MTS! Super excited. TTG49, Therewillbeluke and Josh J. 3
TTG49 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Any news about the Notre Dame MTS, other than the highly suspect posting on the results page from last week? I've not heard anything. I'm also glad I'm not the only one suspicious of that posting, lol! I'm really hoping to hear by tomorrow, if not I'll give them a call. toby42 1
Josh J. Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Just got an acceptance call for the Duke MTS! Super excited. Congrats to all who got acceptances at Duke...I'm still waiting...and hoping that isn't a bad sign....
Josh J. Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 And....I just got the acceptance call for Duke! Seatbelt Blue, TTG49, Therewillbeluke and 1 other 4
taycross Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 And....I just got the acceptance call for Duke! Congratulations! The person I spoke to said that if you haven't already been contacted about a full funding offer, you didn't get it. So, everyone else is stuck with the 22% standard funding for the M.T.S. Why is Duke so damn expensive? Josh J. 1
Elk Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I'm sorry to hear that. Still nice to be able to say that you got in though! Is anyone else offering you money? Thanks for the sympathies, but I'm in no condition to complain: 100%+stipend from Chicago, 100% from UTS, and admission to YDS's Institute for Sacred Music (100%+small stipend) with info about non-ISM aid coming tomorrow. Harvard's just helped make my choice easier. Therewillbeluke 1
drechie Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I have been accepted to Duke's MA program! so happy for you - congrats!
HustleAndFlow Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I got a call from Duke today as well, but I was at work so they left a voicemail. They just said to call them back at my earliest convenience. Is this a good or bad sign?
Therewillbeluke Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Congrats to everyone! Hopefully it'll all be over tomorrow!
Josh J. Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I got a call from Duke today as well, but I was at work so they left a voicemail. They just said to call them back at my earliest convenience. Is this a good or bad sign? They left me a voicemail saying I was accepted, so not sure. I'm most likely going to decline unless there is a fluke and they offer me massive funding, so if you are wait listed, hopefully you are at the top.
JillUMASS Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Thanks for the sympathies, but I'm in no condition to complain: 100%+stipend from Chicago, 100% from UTS, and admission to YDS's Institute for Sacred Music (100%+small stipend) with info about non-ISM aid coming tomorrow. Harvard's just helped make my choice easier. Oh wow, that's awesome!!! I'm jealous! Yeah, screw HDS! Elk 1
JillUMASS Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 So I find it funny that if you look on results page, a good portion of the people accepted to Duke will be turning them down. That's good news for anyone on their wait list, if they have one. But maybe they should consider accepting a smaller amount of people in the future so they can give more funding since that's usually what it all comes down to.
indefiniteintegral Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Accepted: Duke MDiv (nothing on 1st round of merit funding but hope to get in on 2nd round of merit funding!) YDS MDiv (hope to hear about funding tomorrow!) Congrats all! Elk 1
TTG49 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 If I haven't heard anything about the Yale MARc by Friday, is it safe to assume I probably didn't get in? I don't know--it sounds like everyone will be getting notified tomorrow, but nothing's over 'til it's over. But just because you haven't heard yet, I don't think that means anything, for the same reason.
taycross Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I'm not sure how well I will sleep tonight in anticipation of a call from ND tomorrow.
TTG49 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I'm not sure how well I will sleep tonight in anticipation of a call from ND tomorrow. Yeah, me too... Here's hoping we actually hear from them tomorrow, and are saved from what would be a very long weekend...!
toby42 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Yeah, me too... Here's hoping we actually hear from them tomorrow, and are saved from what would be a very long weekend...! I've just resigned myself to not count on a decision before the 22nd. I'll tell myself not to expect it until then... and if it comes early, great. If not, no disappointment. Either way, I'm not gonna sweat it anymore. I can't afford to. Yeah... sometimes I have to play mind games with my mind. Get it to shut up for a while...
toby42 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Of course... now you got me thinking about maybe... just maybe... getting a call tomorrow. Thanks a lot.

Yeah... sometimes I have to play mind games with my mind. Get it to shut up for a while... I completely understand. I am continually abiding by the old adage, "No news is good news." Why the 22nd? Is this their latest deadline?
toby42 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 I completely understand. I am continually abiding by the old adage, "No news is good news." Why the 22nd? Is this their latest deadline? I looked through the old M* Acceptance threads from years past (yeah, I've gotten a bit OCD about this) and sometimes they didn't hear until the 19th, sometimes the 22nd. Next Friday is the 22nd, so in order to put this out of my mind for a while so I can actually get some things done, I pushed it back to that date. Same way that when I have $50 in the account, I tell myself I have $30. Just to give a safe window. Mind games on my mind, man... I must. btw, I think technically their 'latest deadline' is the end of March. If I recall, that's what their website technically said... though it's almost always before then, I think.

I actually did the same, lol... except I saw last year it came on the 8th for most people, which was the second Thursday in March, so I thought (hoped) it would be today. It definitely could take that long, but it seems like this is the week for so many schools--HDS, YDS, DDS, PTS (I think I saw)--so it just seems like they SHOULD have it out tomorrow...
taycross Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Well, all that being said... To quote the random convict in the opening song of Les Misérables, "Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer..." Or, considering this is Notre Dame we're talking about, "Ave Maria, gratia plena..." toby42 and indefiniteintegral 2

See, I saw the same thing, too... so on the 4th or 5th, I started getting real antsy, thinking the 8th 'might be it.' Then the 8th came and went, and I thought, 'Well, maybe Monday.' Then Monday came and went... then I was rooting for 'the second Thursday of the month'... and here we are. I've been obssessing about for the last week, so you know what? Forget it. The 22nd is my new 'expected deadline.' ...Gosh, I hope we hear tomorrow...
HustleAndFlow Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Called Duke back this morning and I was accepted!
