rheya19 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 I had a stress dream last month that my husband showed up to our place with a moving truck and was like, "Are we ready to go?" He was ready to move us to my school right then and there, but I didn't know where I had been accepted, and I didn't even have moving boxes yet. All I could do was stall for time while I tried to check my application statuses online. SG_SC 1

(I know online the website said something about using email or physical mail) I also applied to Rice, and am waiting to hear still.

Adonalsium Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 To whomever posted in the results section asking about Duke's GPR PhD program: it seems that invitations went out last week to people for the interview weekend. These invitations are a de facto acceptance should those invited desire to attend. Many will have applied to multiple programs and may wait to see where else they get in. If you're lucky, they'll accept somewhere else and you may get bumped up the waitlist and swipe their spot (assuming you did get on the waitlist, which I imagine you will be informed about a couple weeks after interview weekend in mid-February).
turktheman Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Anyone have info about Fordham? I'm assuming they have made decisions by now, but there's not been any reports in the results.
jsant09 Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 It looks like the Notre Dame interview invitations that have gone out are for Systematics. Anyone know if they have also gone out for the other areas?

The email that was sent out was pretty general (i.e. it was not CJA specific and could have easily been sent to all religious studies subfields).

Which area are you waiting for?

KnightGeorge Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Just saw an SMU post -- has anyone heard anything further about apps at SMU? I'm assuming they don't do interviews often since they're scarce on the forum or results.
menge Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 Really expected to hear *something* a week into Feb. This wait is excruciating, and its beginning to get unnerving.

I'm assuming they don't do interviews often since they're scarce on the forum or results. 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.

Marcion Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I know it is not our department, but seeing the Harvard results from science, anthropology, physics, and such come in, does get my heart racing... Even though we are probably going to have to wait until the end of Feb.

Look at the event scheduled for that day: http://studyofreligion.fas.harvard.edu/calendars

Assuming a few days to a week for admitted students to clear GSAS, seems like letters could go out the next week (of course, with potential unofficial phone calls or e-mails sooner).
