Does anyone happen to know how BU sends out their admission offers/rejections? I haven't seen anything that tells me they do it online. And other than an email saying they got my application stuff, they don't send out regular email updates with the progress of your application like a lot of other religion programs do.

[LisaTO]

I'm waiting too.

A friend of mine got accepted with 55% percent tuition the other week.

Are you asking about DRTS or the School of Theology?  And which program?  They typically send out on the late side - I think the poster above is likely talking about the School of Theology (not sure if it is a M* or ThD though).  If it in Ancient Christianity, the decision has not been made yet.

 

PM me if you need or want more specifics ( I am a current PhD student in DRTS)

I'm waiting too (DRTS, PhD).

Yeah it is an M* degree at the School of Theology. I'm not sure what specific program, but it has something to do with ethics and society.

I'm also waiting on BU (DRTS, MA/PhD). The wait is driving me ______.

I've been told by my POI that the DRTS Admissions Committee met over the weekend and the admitted should be contacted within a week or so.

In your signature, it shows acceptance to BU. So...you heard from DRTS?

Hector.

PS. Going bananas over here.

Yes. I received an email notification middle of the week last week and the "official" letter came in the mail today.

Well, congratulations! That school is my first choice. Still harboring some hope over here... H.

Thanks! I don't know what order they notify people but my name is near the beginning of the alphabet. Best of luck to you.

God...that's actually the last thread of hope I have Thanks and good luck.

[Hector Varela Jr.]

Anybody else out there knows something about admissions to the MA at the DRTS at BU? I haven't heard anything.

I emailed a couple of folks, but still have not heard anything.

[Hector Varela Jr.]

I am very proud of my patience (three teenagers at home, for starters ), but this is getting ridiculous, Pass, fail...I just need to know. H.

[patelvr]

Hector, I too have not heard anything. My POI said to email jonathon klawans regarding admissions decisions. Otherwise they should be out this or early next week.

[Hector Varela Jr.]

Thank you. That offers some jitters relief...

[patelvr]

Unfortunately it meant rejection for me.

[Hector Varela Jr.]

I'm sorry. But at least you know and can explore other posibilities. For me, not knowing is worse. Good luck on your endeavors and God bless.

[Switching Geertz]

Just got a rejection email (masters program). Good luck everyone!

[Hector Varela Jr.]

Wow...must be a very limited program. Just got my rejection from BU as well. Unless a miracle happens with Harvard, UChicago it is!!!
