Abdelazar Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Just got my rejection from Duke Divinity. This one stings more than any of the others. I had a really great meeting with the prof I wanted to write with and with the chair over the summer. The prof I want to work with actually said the words, "You need to be here." 5/8 rejections. Not looking great for me. That's a shame. I've heard, though, that professors may have varying levels of say on admissions committees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking great for me. I'm with you, my friend! I received my rejection also. I didn't have as much interaction there, but did get rejected from another program where I had a similar experience, with the professor saying essentially the same thing. It's tough. So far, I'm 4/5 on rejections, with only Harvard still not officially rejecting me (though the handwriting seems to be on the wall). Like you, I'm not sure what the next move is!

tsgriffey Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 For anyone applying to Boston University - I heard from my advisor this week that they hadn't even started looking at apps yet. But they do hope to have the decisions by March 1. Has anyone heard from Boston University's GDRS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not admitted to Yale or Duke (ThD), but I was waitlisted at Princeton. I know I should be grateful for at least making the waitlist at Princeton (and I am! Makes me feel like I am not crazy to be applying to these programs), but damn I really wanted Duke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobiebrothers Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Meaning all acceptances have already gone out? yes all acceptances have gone out. Columbia it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanutButterJellyTime Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 yes all acceptances have gone out. Columbia it is! Was this from your POI call? And can I ask who it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglandshawn Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Makes me feel like I am not crazy to be applying to these programs) I know exactly what you're saying! I have thought on a number of occasions today that it feels as though I am playing checkers, while all the other applicants are playing chess. I was hoping for at least a wait list somewhere, but perhaps that would have simply prolonged the agony and given me false hope. So, it's back to square one and re-evaluating whether I want to attempt this all over again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglandshawn Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 yes all acceptances have gone out. Columbia it is! Not sure who posted this on the results page, but what do you make of this as it relates to Harvard? "The official method of notification is by mail.

tsgriffey Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I was contacted by Wesley Wildman (my POI) at Bu today notifying me that applicants are being reviewed and also letting me know about the MTS in the theology school (which I won't be applying to since it is a seminary and I am not religious).

TheCappadocian Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 For the other(s) who was/were wait-listed at Marquette (PhD), was there any indication in your e-mail regarding what place you are on the wait list...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the email today telling me that I was on the wait list, but it didn't tell me what place I was. I decided to email the program director, and he told me my position.

newenglandshawn Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 So has anyone gotten an official letter yet from Harvard (either through CSR or NELC)? I'm still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abdelazar Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 So has anyone gotten an official letter yet from Harvard (either through CSR or NELC)? I'm still waiting! Nothing yet. From results page, it looks like NELC POIs generally sent out acceptances by email around the first week of March and official acceptance/rejection letters were received in the mail the 2nd or 3rd week or March. It's possible everything may be delayed some because of the weather last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac32 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just received my rejection from Marquette. Rev. Joseph told me my acceptance was unlikely since I didn't have a master's in theology or religious studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
