I think that it has actually turned out to be a strength. That's encouraging. I have a similar background, and similar exam scores as you. I thought that meant I had meager chances. I think I have great LORs and a solid SOP - so, your story encourages me in that my educational pedigree won't necessarily do me in from the start. I'm not applying to Duke or any of the top-tier programs (mostly just second-tier). Edited January 30, 2016 by JN527 RD_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She seems like she would be an excellent person to work with. Longenecker too. Nice, the longevity of that cohort of scholars is really impressive. Bad for those looking for tenured positions, but imagine the luxury of teaching for close to 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Marquette does Skype interviews, but what about CUA and Fordham? I don't know about Marquette or Fordham, but I know that CUA sent out invites for their interview weekend, which was then cancelled due to the huge storm in D.C. People invited to the weekend are being told to schedule interviews via Skype but as far as I know, many of those still haven't even been scheduled.

fides quarens intellectum Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 My friend who was invited was in Systematics, though I know that last year all fields interviewed at the same time, as I was invited and attended. So I'd assume it's for any program housed within the School of Theology and Religious Studies, because that's how they did it last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't receive an invite, but the Semitics dept is not under the Religion School. Thanks for being the bearer of "not immediately bad" news. turktheman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibnbattuta Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hey all, Was wondering if anyone could offer some insight on the reputation of UPenn's religious studies program. Is it well regarded? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, to all who are being interviewed in theology this weekend, if Baylor isn't your top choice, please decline if they give you an offer! I'd love to be there.

YES It really was. I'm seriously considering emailing to POI at UNC and U of Chicago DIV. If I'm out of the game, that means I don't need to prepare the interviews; because the rest doesn't have interview session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
