Just send the Graduate Administrator a couple of "Benjamins" in the mail, and it will all sort itself out.

Thanks, TherewillbeLuke, I just wanted to make sure it gets recorded before people go on break, so that it'll be ready to be reviewed in January.

 

I called today, but no one picked up. An clue why that was?

Also, such a weird email from BU: "Greetings from the Boston University School of Theology!  Thank you for applying to the School's doctoral program.  We have received your application, and want to invite you to submit a video as a first step in the interview process for admission to the program."

 

A video? Come on.

That's pretty interesting. How long is the video supposed to be and what are you supposed to include?

3-4 minutes - Not sure about the function.

Yeah, today was the last day of the semester so the offices closed round lunchtime.

Yeah, this was yesterday, but I checked and my file showed as complete. So, I guess that means I'm in the clear hopefully.

I would make it a music video in the vein of "What Does the Fox Say?"

So, PTS requires a background check and that took a couple extra days to come in for me. Does anyone know how badly this will affect my application there? Is there a general expectation of some trickle in, or is this bad news bears? I submitted everything supplemental well in advance.

Interestingly, I know of a case where someone had a felony conviction and the cheap background check service they use at PTS had no idea... waste of everyone's time and money.

Hard to believe my first three apps are due in a week and a half. Anyone else applying to Vanderbilt, Baylor, or Princeton Seminary?

I have applied to Baylor (Theology).

Did any other Ancient Mediterranean Religions/Ancient Christianity/Biblical Studies folk apply to Cornell, UVA, or Boston U?
