fides quarens intellectum Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Anybody else apply at Florida State or Catholic University? I've had some good news from both places, but not an official acceptance yet. I also applied at Notre Dame, UChicago, Yale, Boston College, UVA, and will apply in a couple weeks at Ave Maria University. Thanks!

TheCappadocian Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Anybody else apply at Florida State or Catholic University? Have applied to the Catholic University, though in the centre for early Christian studies, not in theology. No news yet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenmarq Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I applied to CUA as well (Ph.D. in Biblical Studies). I was invited a few weeks ago to a preview weekend (invitation only) that is taking place Jan. 25–26, and I am planning to attend.

wanderingtheologian Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Fides, what area are you applying in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides quarens intellectum Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Depends on the school. I applied for ethics at UChicago, Moral Theology at CUA, Religion, Ethics, and Philosophy at FSU, Systematic at BC and Notre Dame, Philosophical Theology at Yale and something very much like Religion, Ethics, and Philosophy at UVA.

ALH3 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Anybody else apply at Florida State or Catholic University? I've had some good news from both places, but not an official acceptance yet. I also applied at Notre Dame, UChicago, Yale, Boston College, UVA, and will apply in a couple weeks at Ave Maria University. Thanks! Luke Arredondo fides, I applied to that same FSU program and received an invitation to apply for a fellowship - not sure if that's what you received. I wouldn't have thought anything of it except the form that explains the fellowship says that it is offered to those who have been admitted. I can't imagine that part is true this early but it has at least caused me to be curious. Did you receive something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides quarens intellectum Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 ALH3, yes that's what was sent to me this morning! And an invitation to apply for an assistantship. I too noticed that line, and am optimistic and naively trusting the systems of a large university to be in place and ensure that such a document would be worded correctly. Haha. Cool to see someone else aiming for FSU! I attended as an undergrad many moons ago. Pax, Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually emailed them to ask how I was nominated...hope that was a good idea! If they respond, I'll post. Looks like we have similar taste in programs too. Good luck!

Enki Knows Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm new to the forum and trying to gauge whether anyone has received acceptance letters or interview requests from the school's I've applied to. This is my first year applying, so I have no idea what to expect as far as timeframe. I applied to: Notre Dame: PhD, Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity Vanderbilt: PhD, Hebrew Bible John Hopkins: PhD, Near Eastern Studies Brandies: PhD, Near Eastern and Judaic Studies I also applied to Hopkins. Nothing yet from them, but the deadline was Jan 15 so I wouldn't expect anything for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enki Knows Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi All, I'm new to the forum, but since I don't have any friends in real life going through this process right now, I figured I might find a little camaraderie here. My focus is Hebrew Bible/Ancient Near East. Just applied to: NYU Hopkins Union Theological Seminary Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison Duke Univ. of Chicago (Div School) All PhD programs. Anyone else apply to those? Have you heard anything yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied to the Div school in ethics. Haven't heard anything yet, but I see there's a few people here that have interviewed. I never thought about whether they were Div. school or university applicants though. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results usually aren't expected until the end of February. I'd do a search of the results section on here to see when the schools you've applied to generally respond back.

doobiebrothers Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm the one who did the Chicago interview, but it was unofficial and actually I'm very scared about chicago. They have an insanely high reject rate! Does anyone have any insight as to why? Is it considered the best religion program in the country? I don't actually know much about it except that this one professor that I really like is there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. t Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 To be fair, is there a humanities program worth attending that doesn't have a reject rate of at least 90%? smg and Aubstopper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubstopper Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) I think Chicago only takes 1-2 people per subfield, if that. The cohorts are very small at 1-3 people, but my friend who is currently attending via Islamic Studies said that they accept approx. 20 people. Her cycle they accepted 2 out of 45 applicants in that subfield which yields a 4% acceptance rate if you're just looking at competitiveness within that specific field. I'm sure other fields like philosophy of religion probably have more applicants. It consistently ranks as the top religion program in the country, which is why it is so picky.
