I'm really wondering has anyone been offered interview from U of Chicago.. I was interviewed by my POI at Chicago on January 22nd. I applied for the Sociology and Anthropology of Religion track ... My POI said that I should hear by Feb 15th, however no word as yet... Wondering if I've been rejected...

Your subfield is same as mine.. that's another bad news for me. But thank you for the info. Can I ask who did you interview with? Dr. Angie Heo is my POI. (no reply for the pre-contact though...) And did you hear about more interviews with any other applicants of your subfield ? Edited February 22, 2016 by Esei_John
UChicagoDivStudent Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I'm a current student at U of Chicago in the Div School. I can confirm that as of this moment, decisions have not yet been made. The initial committee meeting scheduled for Feb 15 ran into a scheduling snafu hence the delay. Internally, rumors abound about decisions going out this afternoon. TTG49 and Rrrrahner 2

Esei_John Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 @UChicagoDivStudent Thanks! (luckily I checked your posts few minutes ago after a sound sleep )

EDIT: The original post proved correct. Disregard this overzealous retraction! True! I received an email from the Dean of Students and my POI with an offer of admission. Chicago is one of my top choices. Some difficult choices lie ahead! Congrats to all those who got in! I hope those who didn't have gotten other acceptances. the waiting game is really difficult!

Just to put it out there, I received a waitlist notification from Chicago several hours ago (Philosophy of Religion track)
Argos17292 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Congrats to those who were accepted! Anyone hear from Chicago in the Bible concentration?
UChicagoDivStudent Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I know (at least) one UChicago acceptance in New Testament & Early Christian Literature.
Argos17292 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Ok, yeah I saw a result posted for NT as soon as I made my post. Thanks for the updates and all the best! UChicagoDivStudent 1

Anitich Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I got into Religion, Literature and Visual Culture at Divinity! I am an international student, still I cannot believe it! Dear UChicagoDivStudent - thank you! I saw your post here and I went to check my e-mail, when I saw the offer - wow! This was my first choice! Good luck to everyone else, and I hope that I will meet some of you! UChicagoDivStudent and Panama Slim 2

Panama Slim Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Congrats on all the acceptances thus far! Is Harvard the last major hold out? Edited February 23, 2016 by Panama Slim Added congratulations!

magicsana Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Waiting for BU for ph.D in Religious Studies. They had their meeting on the 17th, so I'm not sure why it's taking them so long.
mangywolf Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) So if you haven't heard from Chicago Bible at this point... rejection? :'( Also, sorry to be late to the thread, but has anyone heard about any acceptances to Johns Hopkins Hebrew Bible & Northwest Semitics PhD? I saw that someone received a waitlist notification, but I haven't heard anything else.... Edited February 23, 2016 by mangywolf

Just in case this discussion has been taken into private messages, I'd also love some insight into JHU's timeline. Not short listed, but no rejection yet. So am I still in the running? mangywolf 1

Anyway, I didn't get an interview, so I'm not optimistic. Then again, I may have read a post in this forum about Harvard not doing interviews. Any idea? You seem to have some inside info, theophany.
