Candidacy II: Endorsement

Before I begin this, I'd like to note that if you'd like more specific information on the candidacy process, you can go to this website. (Which is where I got some of the information I was lacking for writing these entries.)

Endorsement is the next phase of candidacy after Entrance. Now, the candidacy website (above) treats each phase as an ongoing thing, whereas here I treat them more like events on a timeline. I suppose the truth is a combination of the two.

Endorsement occurs after CPE (in the phasic view it includes CPE) and requires another essay from the candidate and another interview. This interview isn't in front of the whole committee, but rather a few people from the committee come to the seminary campus and meet with the candidate and their academic advisor. Same general process: looking over file, interview, waiting period, results.
