theogeek Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Congrats to the Yale New Testament admit! I am on pins and needles today!! I applied for the theology track, with religious ethics as a secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecotheology518 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Got an email from Wycliffe (Toronto) today saying that they are extending their bursary application deadline to Tuesday. I guess that means they won't be extending any offers within the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhogwarts Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cecilia, Is this from Emory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilia22 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Therealhogwarts, No. I am in the nebulous "not on a wait list but not rejected yet" zone at Emory (interviewed there, too). This is Vanderbilt. So sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theogeek Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Cecilia22, do you know if Vanderbilt's choice to accept no one extends to the whole department or just your subfield, and if just your subfield, which one are you in? Thanks! And sorry to hear about that news. That is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilia22 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Just my subfield -- RPC. Does not apply to any others, from what I can tell. In fact, it may benefit another area, as it opened up a spot in the department as a whole. But I'm speculating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhogwarts Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Looks like Columbia has sent out some rejections. Shouldn't be long now. Does anyone know if Columbia has any form of interview? I haven't heard anything since I submitted my application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theogeek Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Religious Studies. The divinity school does not confer doctorates. Diazalon, according to your info was it just acceptances that went out Friday? /Do you know if all acceptances went out? I don't see any reported rejections and I haven't heard myself. It looks like in previous years they sent out acceptances and rejections on the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewadam22 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 It seems three people all received word from Loyola Chicago that they are the number 1 spot on the ISET waitlist. This is confusing, as I am one of them. Did everyone else's look like this.... " I have been waiting for the final ranking of the Theology Section Professors, and finally the ranking has been sent to me with the wonderful strengths of the students summarized. Matthew, we are permitted two entries into the ISET Theology, and you are on the list, just a fraction from the two students ahead of you. Should either notify me that they have chosen another University, that place will be offered to you, Matthew. Students do have until the middle of April to notify the Universities of their choice but I always ask any student who has been admitted to inform us as soon as possible so that the student who can be offered that place is not kept waiting. So, Matthew, very shortly now, you will receive notification from the Graduate School that you are on the "waitlist", but I wanted you to know how things stand. As soon as I hear that one of the invited students is declining, I will write to you immediately, Matthew. So please be patient with us a little, and I promise to let you know right away. We so want you to come if it is possible. " Maybe I read it wrong but it sounds like they are saying I am first on the list. But on the results page two other posters claim to be first on the waitlist. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doobiebrothers Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 yea that made my heart jump unpleasantly, the harvard admit. I still don't have a response to my POI email "oh, so when might we hear back?" so I feel like the news is gonna be...oy vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Q13 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I thought my time of anxiety was over after I got my acceptance almost a month ago, but nope, I have to wait until March to hear if I'll receive standard funding or a better fellowship, apparently up to about twice as much...this is killing me. I know this is a first world problem if there ever was one, but it's hard to resist thinking about what I could do with the extra money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was admitted to Loyola (Systematics) and got a similar email, but with an additional paragraph of being accepted. From what they told me, they put everyone they are seriously considering on the wait list. Also, it would probably be helpful to know that there is only 1 funding spot for Systematics. I was the #2 admit (also just a "fraction" behind), but unfortunately this fraction comes in at $19,000. I am waiting to hear if the #1 person turns down the offer. If I do not get funding, I will not accept. eegan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
