FandT1 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I have not received any notifications yet. Have y'all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.Churchill Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I haven't heard anything yet, but not from lack of checking my email (including spambox-because you never know), actual mail, cellphone, and applicant webpage. Oh, and you know, the whole lurking on the gradcafe forums to see if anyone has heard anything new from the various MTS/MAR/MDiv programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xypathos Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 There's a thread further down for '14. I think some have heard back from Emory, Duke, and maybe PTS. It's going on 4 weeks and nothing from Union yet. Vandy and Yale I won't hear from until March 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FandT1 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 xypathos, why will you not hear from Vandy until March 15? On their site it says that decisions should come out within 3-6 weeks after the Jan 15 priority deadline. March 15 is like 8 weeks after that deadline.

doobiebrothers Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) guys hds decisions go out the second friday of march. you won't hear anything, good or bad, before then. pm me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is. (for the last three years running) edit: around the second week of march; 13-15th Edited February 6, 2014 by doobiebrothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xypathos Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks for catching that, not sure how I messed that up. Makes me feel better about not having to wait until March for two schools. xypathos, why will you not hear from Vandy until March 15? On their site it says that decisions should come out within 3-6 weeks after the Jan 15 priority deadline. March 15 is like 8 weeks after that deadline.

kairotic Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I was in last year's master program application cycle and remember how terribly annoying the waiting was. HDS decisions are released in one lump sum, but for BC and YDS they seemed to trickle out ever so slowly, with those admitted early being quite vocal about it (read: stress and utter despair). However, if you aren't the first to hear, fear not, because it doesn't mean you are rejected or receiving no fellowship money. Last year I heard back from: Boston College School of Theology and Ministry with 100% tuition on March 5th Harvard Divinity School MTS in Religion, Politics, and Ethics with 75% tuition on March 13th. Yale Divinity School MAR Ethics with 100% Tuition on March 15th. Hopefully this gives you a reason to relax for the next month.

Alex Madlinger Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The University of Minnesota, Department of Classical and Near Eastern Studies, made me a generous offer for admission to the MA in Religions in Antiquity on Wednesday. I was mostly applying to funded MAs due to lack of personal finances, and they're the first program I've heard from. FandT1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FandT1 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Alex, to which schools did you apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Madlinger Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 University of Minnesota (MA Religions in Antiquity); Indiana University (MA Religion); University of Notre Dame (Master of Theological Studies); Duke University (MA Religion -- not funded, I know); Wake Forest University (MA Religion). I'm coming from an evangelical seminary context, and trying to get out of that world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FandT1 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 O ok. So you already have a seminary degree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FandT1 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Just got off of the phone with Vanderbilt. I was accepted and offered a full-tuition scholarship. Now I am just waiting to see if the other schools with offer that plus a stipend. coffeekid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonedy Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nice! Congrats on full tuition to Vandy. Next time you are on the phone with them, ask when MDiv decisions are coming out coffeekid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xypathos Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Looking at the results posted here: In 2013 Vandy began notifying MDiv applicants the second week of February. However in 2012 they were notified the last week of February. So...here's to hoping that it'll be this week but in reality, it could be another two weeks. Either way, it's March 15 for Yale so it's not like I can make a real decision until they're all in. coffeekid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turktheman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 DCole, Have they updated your online application to reflect your admitted status? I ask to see how dependable checking the site is. I'm waiting to hear back, but I put a request to hear back before the 14th--so perhaps anyday now. Same boat with Candler. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FandT1 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Not yet. They said that would not be until the end of this week or the beginning of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Café com Leite Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 well, just a month to go until most of those deadlines. I've been pretty calm up until this point, but now I'm ready to hear some news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xypathos Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Likewise. I just want to get this part over with, tired of the nervousness over checking email, app webpages, and the mailbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wonedy Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Vanderbilt mDiv full rides should be called today based on when past decisions have been released. I guess no one on this site was invited to Leadership Candler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
