Finally I see some light after a series of rejections...Anyone going to the interview? Congrats! Do you know if other fields were already offered interviews as well?

Honestly I am not sure about other fields...sorry that I cannot provide you with helpful information. Based on my observation of the last year's cycle, they seem to send out invitations around the same time. Nonetheless, nothing is certain. So I encourage you: do not lose hope!

Almaqah Thwn Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) So, I saw someone got an interview for OT on January 5th at Baylor and expected to get rejected after that. But as it turns out, I just got an invite to interview weekend as well! And since there are two OT positions there, I can wish you the best of luck, MonkeyMagic, and sincerely mean it!

I got an email yesterday afternoon for a Skype interview at Princeton Seminary! Finally, some news. I'm applying for NT. Related to this - any advice on these kinds of interviews? I was told it would be short, maybe 10 minutes. Congratulations! Do you know if PTS has extended interview offers for other fields? I wish you the best of luck in the interview!

bijou2017 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I wish I had school to take my mind off waiting! However I am sitting at work, with a computer and GradCafe/email open alllllllll day long. And its the worst. I'm going on vacation soon, so that should help some, but for now I'm always monitoring/feeling anxious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msdb Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi all, Late to this thread, but I applied to Duke, Duke Div, Harvard, Yale, PTS, Emory, Vandy, and ND. Had a phone call with Yale and received an email from Emory expressing interest but radio silence from everywhere else. Has anyone heard anything from the others? I saw PTS extended invites, so that's a bummer for me. Hoping Duke will express interest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_a_history_guy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Greetings all! I'm new to this thread as well. Have apps out to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, UVA, Vanderbilt, Boston U and UNC Chapel Hill. Had some phone chats with Harvard, UNC, UVA, Stanford, and Vanderbilt people back in the fall, but haven't heard much since. My M.Div is from PTS ('16) and as I remember it their visit days for prospective PhD candidates are as much a recruiting tool as they are a way of weeding through the the list, and I definitely knew students who were admitted without a visit.

fides quarens intellectum Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi @xypathos and @ShewantsthePhD101, congrats on your acceptances at FSU! I'm in REP here currently (in my third year), so feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. Again, congrats! And isn't it nice when schools send out acceptances early!

msdb Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I just heard from Emory as well (interview invitation for Hebrew Bible). For those of you who are Grad Cafe pros, is that something I post in the results section or only here? Also, does anyone know what timelines have been in the past for Duke, Vandy, or ND?

I'm guessing all the fields were contacted, so that's a bummer for me. Ah well, the waiting continues! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
