hbot2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I didn't see it on the results search, but I do know someone who was invited to interview weekend (in the graduate department of religion) on Feb 11-12. Anyone have any news on this? Is this for all the departments?
coffeekid Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I do believe that Vanderbilt has sent out invitations to all its departments in religion for the February 11th & 12th interview. I say this mostly because a friend interviewed last year for the Theology and Practice fellowship, and claims that during that visit, all departments were interviewing. Again, this was last year, but I don't have any reason to believe they will be doing things differently this year. That said, I also know someone currently in the PhD who received no invite for the interview, but in late March received a phone call from their POI at Vanderbilt expressing interest in them. By early April, they were accepted with full funding. I'm not exactly clear on the circumstances for this, though.

religioustiger Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Can I imply that this means Vanderbilt has, in all likelihood, contacted their top candidates for the MDiv program?
coffeekid Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Religioustiger: No, I wouldn't say that. I haven't been follow the Mdiv/MTS drama this year for Vandy, but the PhD process is on a different time schedule for sure. I heard back from VDS on February 15th three years ago about the MTS, and I got one of the nice scholarships from them. So, hang in there!

Were you the individual who posted on the result page last year that Vanderbilt offered to fly you out to visit the faculty in March? If so, how many other people were invited?

I'd say there were around 12-15 people there, and I believe they invited others too. It was a mix of MTSers and MDivers. Probably 2/3 MDiv, 1/3 MTS.
