Thorongil Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Rejected by HDS as well. But I did get a smallish funding package from Western Michigan. I don't know about the cost of living in Kalamazoo, so it's still up in the air for me I guess.
Marcion Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Rory chose Yale over Harvard in Gilmore Girls, so it has that going for it. HAHA Nice

I don't know about the cost of living in Kalamazoo, so it's still up in the air for me I guess. Cost of living in West Michigan (Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, etc.) is pretty reasonable. If you end up at WMU let me know as I'll be attending in the fall.
Isaac32 Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Just spoke to the admissions offices at Notre Dame and Duke Divinity, and they said they are hoping to release MTS decisions by Friday. Edited March 17, 2015 by Isaac32
Marcion Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Just spoke to the admissions offices at Notre Dame and Duke Divinity, and they said they are hoping to release MTS decisions by Friday. I am not bothering to wait for Duke Div. I do not think their program is the right fit for me regardless. I am off to New Haven. Yale, here I come! Averroes MD, zqbxhdzw and menge 2 1

cavorting Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Wonder if Yale admits would like to start some sort of discussion group here or offline? I got into Yale/ISM for MARc Liturgical studies and would appreciate some preparatory chat...

The new Facebook group is always a great place to chat. cavorting 1
Panera Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Just returned from visiting both Yale and PTS. Both great programs and really friendly and welcoming. Leaning Yale though for my particular degree (MARc Ethics). Waiting on Duke decision. Giving up on Notre Dame. I think if it were a yes I would have heard by now. zqbxhdzw 1
cavorting Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 What made you lean towards Yale, Panera, if you don't mind sharing?
cavorting Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Also, ISM covers tuition. Waiting for info about any additional funding. (Thanks for the heads up about the facebook group!)
Leibowitz Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I was notified of admission to the Notre Dame MTS already by March 5, but maybe they're still making decisions. Holding my thumbs for the rest of you who haven't heard back yet - maybe we'll be classmates! RD_Paul 1
RD_Paul Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I was also notified by Notre Dame on March 5th, then sent an e-mail about a week later telling me to check my online application for the official letter. Maybe they're still making invites, though. RD_Paul 1

Based on results posted from previous years, nobody has been accepted after March 15th, so I am wagering I will be receiving my rejection soon. Too bad, it will be my third time being rejected by their MTS.
Cioaba Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Hey, does anybody know about German for Reading courses at YDS? Apparently they aren't considered elective courses. Do students take them alongside a full course load? Do they pay extra tuition to enroll in them? I really need to some German reading skills to prep me for Ph.D studies."The courses French for Reading and German for Reading are not eligible for elective credit."http://www.yale.edu/printer/bulletin/htmlfiles/div/other-curricular-considerations.html
documentary? Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 German for Reading is offered as a two part year long course every year (the fall semester goes through a Grammer book, the spring is further reading). You are right in that they can't be taken as electives, and so must be taken in addition to a regular course load. However, there is no extra tuition charge for taking a fifth course so no problem there.

Leaning Yale though for my particular degree (MARc Ethics). Waiting on Duke decision. Giving up on Notre Dame. I think if it were a yes I would have heard by now. I'm also accepted to Yale's MARc in Ethics! Would you mind sharing some thoughts on why Yale is strong for this particular area? I'm trying to decide between YDS and a similar program from HDS. Thanks!
Isaac32 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Notre Dame decisions posted, or at least mine was. I am honestly surprised that I wasn't accepted this time. I have multiple publications under my belt, university teaching experience, and an MA in religious history. Oh well. Congrats to those who were accepted.
Greenwood16 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Anyone else get word from Duke? Funding? I am really curious whether Duke didn't offer me funding or just that it has simply not gone out yet.

I think everyone gets at least 22% off tuition, but don't quote me on that. My letter of acceptance states "You will receive your scholarship package early next week." Does yours not say the same?

My letter states the same, "early next week".
Greenwood16 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Mine does too... Didn't read carefully enough.
