Instanoodle Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm trying to gather the same information right now about PhD placement for Duke RS MA, HDS MTS, and UChicago MA to study Islam and authority. Each school has such different strengths and weaknesses, that it might come down to placement. Yuanzhu - what I've been doing is checking where current PhD students at programs I am interested in got their masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perytion Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I feel ya', Instanoodle. I'm weighing HDS and UChicago. I'm doing Islamic studies with an interest in Shi'ite esoterism and mysticism. Chicago is definitely WAY stronger in that department, but I'll probably end up at Harvard considering that it'll save me about $36,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Café com Leite Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well, sadly I heard back from Duke MTS — waitlisted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyP47 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Did anyone else get a surge of (false?) hope seeing that someone was accepted to Notre Dame just yesterday?! It said, "Theology, Masters" and I'm assuming that means MTS. I feel like it's more of a cruel mirage than reason to hope, but I still can't help myself. Anyone else hear back from ND?

BAX2 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I just called ND and anyone who was admitted to the MTS program has been notified. Final decisions for the wait list will be made soon and the people will be notified in the next week or so. The school is on spring break right now.

Café com Leite Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I was afraid of that with ND. I had a friend who applied 2 years ago to ND and she said they sent out acceptances around the 10, but didn't inform the wait listed/rejected until early April.

Chicago is definitely WAY stronger in that department, but I'll probably end up at Harvard considering that it'll save me about $36,000. That sounds like a good plan, Perytion. I'm also going between HDS and UChicago (for Tibetan Buddhist philosophy), but they both offered me the same aid package, so I'm leaning strongly towards Chi-town. It seems that Chicago is, very generally speaking, stronger in Asian religions. I also like the intellectual feel, which happens to suit me personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Madlinger Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I'm only frustrated that we didn't see more activity on the Results Search screen. If I had just been following the activity by that, then I wouldn't have any idea that ND had done anything. Unless I'm missing something, there weren't any posts for this year? wwwjjsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I noticed the same thing and felt frustrated too. Oh well. I've resigned myself that I'm getting my second rejection from Notre Dame in as many years. Unless I get great news from Yale today, I'll be heading to Boston College! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to answer that but, I was just curious because I was somewhat disappointed with their offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roo14 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 The YDS admissions twitter indicates that they were shooting for noon today (EST), so I'm hoping these bad boys get released soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
