I didn't get one, and I really hope this is not a bad sign for me. So far as I know, Harvard CSR did not conduct interviews. But I have it on good authority that decisions there will be announced next week. Also, for what it's worth, I just moments ago received a generic rejection email from Princeton's dept of religion.

For anyone interested, as far as I know Harvard NELC does not conduct interviews either. Perytion, do you happen to know if the NELC department will be announcing decisions next week as well or at another time? Perytion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'd be really surprised if they get their announcements out by next week. It's a bigger department with more applications to sift through. But who knows?

hswg Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Officially accepted into Princeton today. Anyone else? It seems like they don't have an official visit day so I'm curious if anyone else knows when they might go. diazalon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha-Boy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Admitted to NYU! Full funding and 26K stipend. I will likely accept even if accepted elsewhere, who knows! Anyway, keep on keepin' on, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the thought of having to foot the full bill. So, does anyone know of other avenues (besides the school itself) for piecing together funding in order to survive in a city like DC? Is funding still a possibility through CUA and you're just waiting to hear back on that, or did you get a final word that you are not being offered tuition/stipend? I agree with @diazalon if it turns out you don't get funding. The job market on the other end is simply too risky to go into debt for a PhD in the humanities and esp in religious studies on top of that (not to mention if you do happen to be one of those lucky a$$holes--I mean that in the best way possible--who get a tenure track position right after graduation you're not going to be making much $ anyway!).

drivingthoughts Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well, yesterday I got a surprise phone call from Marquette and was accepted with full funding! Anyone else going? I saw at least one other offer on the results page, I'm hoping to hear from a few others before I make my final decision, but I'm fairly excited. Field: Systematic Theology/Ethics with a focus in political theology and interreligious cooperation. Rrrrahner and JKO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I probably didn't put as much into it as I could have. I'm in at BC with full funding. But congratulations! One of my professors at LMU is an alumni of Marquette.

pmajor Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Anybody else heard from CUA, thinking about accepting?

I think they are close--I am surprised they haven't gotten it out yet. I was contacted by my POI on the 11th--who nominated me for the Philosophy of Religion slot (!!!!)--and he said the department will likely have the final decisions made "by the end of next week" (now last week) or the beginning of this week. Fingers crossed! (And good luck everyone out there...) Edited February 22, 2016 by axiomness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD_Paul Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Turned down Emory for NT. After getting into Baylor and now Duke, Emory was a clear third for me. I hope this opens up a spot for someone else! TTG49 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
