SamStone Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Hey, just wondering if anyone else applied to UC-Santa Barbara and UNC-CH? Any guesses on when either might release? I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

Hopefully we're hearing soon, when I was out there visiting in August, the graduate advisor told me the prospective student weekend would *hopefully* be sometime in March. So I'm assuming they'd let people know if they need to travel out to California with a little bit of notice. SamStone 1

UNC Chapel Hill already notified--a friend of mine who also applied heard back on Jan 27 and got the official letter from the graduate school on the 31st. womp womp. Sorry. I too was hoping on hearing from them... SamStone 1

Just out of curiosity, whats your area of interest? I'm interested in history of philosophy and theology...particularly religion in Kant and German Idealism the.waiting.game 1

I'm actually doing some similar work in the Caribbean. Out of curiosity, where in addition to UCSB have you applied? SamStone 1

Harvard is the only one I've heard back from, they couldn't let me in the PhD program but gave me a week to apply for the Master's program, which I'm currently doing.

As a Catholic I've had trouble finding programs that fit both categories (race in Afro-Diasporic communities/religions and Catholicism). I ended up applying to just SMU and ND. Sounds like you have some good options though.

I'm not religious so I didn't have that problem, but those are two great schools!

Look at the event scheduled for that day: http://studyofreligion.fas.harvard.edu/calendars So, this is probably when they are going through applications?

Did you apply to the History of Religion in America at UVA and have you heard from them? Did you get into Rice? Edited February 7, 2017 by Marcion

I applied to the History of Religion specifically for African Religions at UVA, and have heard nothing. I have also heard nothing from Rice. :/

NT PhD ... Hopefully Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 5 hours ago, jsant09 said: I received a call of acceptance from SMU yesterday. I am not the one who posted the result. There was no mention of an interview, they just have a prospective student weekend in March I am assuming for admitted students. What, may I ask, is your sub-field?

I heard back from Harvard NELC around the end of February last year. But if you are waitlisted, sometimes you may not hear that you are on the wait list until March.
magicsana Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Welp, it's a no from University of Toronto.

Which means that our fates are probably already sealed, right? i.e. the committee has already met and decided who is in and who is out? I don't know how this information helps me but still...

I don't know how this information helps me but still... They likely met in January to work the application pile into a short list. It would make sense, timing-wise, that they would finalize their picks the 13th. NELC also has a publicly accessible calendar with a department meeting listed for the day after, on the 14th. I doubt anyone will hear anything next week. The week after would make sense. Averroes MD 1

Cioaba Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 12 minutes ago, Marcion said: We might get rejections next week if we don't make the cut perhaps? Maybe. But it looks like in past years acceptances were made before rejections. Last year, acceptances were made Feb 24 and rejections March 2.
menge Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 Rejected from Michigan's Anthro. program. Expected, but still stings. They have several students doing interesting work on contemporary religion in America.
