For the past couple days I've been expecting to receive the self-addressed stamped postcard I included with my application packet. Tomorrow's the application deadline, and I mailed it with the expectation of having the card back before the deadline (just to confirm that everything's ok, y'know, 'cause I'm a little paranoid that way), so I was growing slightly concerned.

The next step after the application, according to the literature, is a phone screen.

I came home to a phone message that I've been accepted. Woo hoo! Apparently my application was strong enough (the rabbi who called used the word "fantastic") that they're skipping the phone screen. :-)

I am so looking forward to this! They'll be mailing me a packet with all the details.

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOTTTTT

I never had any doubts. Congratulations and I look forward as always to your insightful discussions here. (Really hoping that they have internet so it can be in real-time but if not, then when you come back)

Yay! I'm glad they accepted you! As far as I'm concerned, there was no real question they'd accept you as long as they weren't being nutty. (I have a friend who wasn't admitted to HUC Rabbinic school, ended up going to another movement's seminary and is now an extremely popular Rabbi at a large (non-Reform) congregation...)

Congrats!

I'm not terribly surprised by the early acceptance -- your application shows commitment, organization and thoughtfulness, while demonstrating that you have clear and realistic goals for what you'd like to get out of the program. You're very clearly well-suited to this opportunity.

I'd bet that the majority of their candidates simply haven't put that kind of time and thought into their applications. An awful lot of people have very fluffy ideas about religious training...
