GPA is grad. I just called the office and found out I am on the waitlist (8 people). There is no position assigned on the waitlist. They have sent out 4 offers. 2 offers were accepted and 2 were pending. They are gonna evaluate everyone on the waitlist if either or both currently with offers reject. They said the class size is likely not going to be over 4. Rutgers is my dream school. If you are one of the people who got offers but are going to go to other programs, please let them know as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

finally...

RE: email methods: I also got the polite form letter email, so I guess I’d want to hear that some people only got the “check portal“ email from them this year before reading into it, as much as I’d like to.

This was my back-up school. Didn't want to go anyway only in case of last resort,

Yes, your words of wisdom DO help accepted-Rutgers-Camden-person. :-) Thanks!

To the poster below: I also received that email, same wording. I assumed it was a form rejection, albeit a very nice one.

In response to the poster below - not everyone gets that email, some receive only an email to check the portal. You must have submitted something they liked! Last year, I received that email, and this year I was accepted. Having now received many rejections (as well as a few acceptances), I know that not every school tells you they enjoyed your work or to continue writing. At an institution that is known to personalize their rejections, I received only a "thanks for your interest in our program and good luck." It's so subjective - and while that's a good thing (there should be diversity in tastes and standards so the work later is just as diverse), it can feel terribly chaotic. I hope these words help.

I posted the other day that I only saw in the portal that I was rejected. Today I got the official Camden email rejection. Has anyone else received a rejection email? Seems like in previous years, not everyone has? Also I'm unsure of whether it was a form rejection or a higher-tiered rejection. Second line is "We have read your application with great interest." Sincerely, Confused
