Emailed to ask when I should expect, was told others were more qualified and that they would not be moving forward with my application.

$25k stipend for 5 years plus health insurance, only 7.5 hour/week work requirement (thanks to unionization of grad students! ). Really excellent package.

To the poster below... I haven't heard anything either way either. At least I'm not the only one getting radio silence....

Has anyone heard anything from John Jay lately? It's frustrating that theyre not letting me know one way or the other.

Did not interview, so it was not surprising.

FYI from a colleague who works at John Jay--some of their electronic systems are down this weekend, which may impact our ability to see status.

"But they accept people based on qualifications! They really go for the most qualified!" ...ALL of the current students I met who participated in interview day did their UG at the same institution. If I knew that was how JJ does things, I would have never bothered applying.

Offered admission from DCT via email.

Interview on campus March 13. MA from John Jay in Forensic Psych.

Skype or phone interview in March

Invited to do an on-campus interview in March. Very excited because this is my top choice!

Cannot find the appropriate forum for my concerns so I am posting it here: Alumni of John Jay Masters program and received high recommendations from John Jay CJ Masters program staff and I was not even given an interview. I received my general and impersonal rejection via email. I tried contacting the Ph.D. admissions faculty numerous times to get a breakdown as to why I was rejected (without an interview) with a cumulative Masters program GPA of 3.95 and being a John Jay Masters alumni with hopes of trying to improve my application in order to re-apply for the Fall 2015 admissions and not a single admissions member responded to me. And then it became quite clear, the only aspect of my application that was not significantly above average were my GRE scores and after seeing the posts on this website and doing thorough research by speaking to several applicants, it is quite apparent that due to the high volume of applications that the CUNY - John Jay program receives, the admissions staff filters their applications and reviews the GRE scores first so that they do not have to look any further at the applicants application, which is exactly the opposite of the policy disclaimer on their website. The CUNY John Jay Doctoral program in Criminal Justice clearly states that their admissions board gives EVERY application a thorough and equal review from start to finish, regardless of GRE test scores. This is not only disconcerting but illegal. I work for a law firm as a paralegal and was told by numerous attorneys that I should file a law suit against CUNY due to the overwhelming evidence of application discrimination by the admissions committee of the Doctoral Program for CUNY. If anyone has had a similar experience, please feel free to PM me so we can come together and stand up against the clear and apparent discrimination of the CUNY doctoral admissions board.

Alumni of John Jay Masters program and received high recommendations from John Jay CJ Masters program staff...I was not even given an interview. I received my general as well as impersonal rejection via email. Please see my longer post in the forum for more information about the discriminatory as well as illegal practices of the CUNY Doctoral admissions board.

Emailed the admissions department and they said I was not part of the top 20% out of their 65 applicants

Called by Director of Clinical Training and 2 POIs. Very excited!
