Hi all,
I'm about to complete a master of divinity program at one of the top 5 divinity schools/seminaries in the United States. I'm interested in pursuing a second master's degree--perhaps a 1 oe 2 year program--before continuing on for ordination and/or doctoral work.
My current GPA is about 3.5 (I struggled with mostly Bs my first year, but have since--in the second and third year--boosted myself to mostly As). I have received a grade of "Honors" for all four semesters of our ministerial internships/field work. I also have good relationships with professors who can provide stellar recommendations and a long history in social justice advocacy, which I connect to a liberation theology.
The divinity schools I'm interested in are;
* Sewanee - University of the South (USA)
* Virginia Theological Seminary (USA)
* Berkeley Divinity School at Yale University (USA)
* Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford (UK)
* St. John's College, Durham University (UK)
* Ridley Hall, Cambridge (UK)
* Wescott House, Cambridge (UK)
* University of Trinity College (Toronto)
I guess my question is: Which of these should I apply to with my qualifications and which won't even bother with me? I am hoping to save money by not wasting an application.
