So damn late!

Hey y'all! Just checked the portal randomly. Called them Monday and they said they'd be notifying this week. 0a/6r. No dice for me, but we all just gotta keep working. Gonna drop my instagram here @writtenbylucas for any writers that wanna connect. Good luck everybody!

Rejected finally, astro

just found out i didn't get into rutgers newark by checking the online portal. never got an email from them, not even when i emailed them before applying asking a couple simple questions. the funding situation isn't great at the two programs that accepted me, so if i do this whole miserable process again, i definitely won't be applying to newark. from my experience and others i've heard, they seem totally inept. frustrated since we all pay a pretty hefty fee to have them look at our work and the least they could do was send a freaking form email. (2a/0w/6r/0p)

So Rutgers has not called or emailed me...but I logged into the portal today and saw a "Your application has been reviewed, and the Committee has denied admission." If you're waiting for Rutgers, check your portals. I really must suck because this is my second year trying to get into grad school and failing. I have left is mediocre, totally unranked programs that don't offer a single scholarship. 0a/6r/0w/2p

Declined these offers. Good luck to everyone!

Will be second MA (first MA GPA is 3.67). Met with faculty in person before application was submitted.

Accepted off of waitlist

Accepted via email and will be attending :)

Rejection finally came through

Got the offer with no funding in early Feb. Tried to make a deal by mentioning full funding admission from other schools. They said that the budget is sooooooooo limited. I declined it since I have better one. Good luck guys.

Really disappointed, this was my number one. I was in contact with multiple faculty members there and they all conveyed a positive result to me. I was even invited to apply to one of their research programs, so I'm not entirely sure how this happened. Just really disappointed, I didn't even get a personal email, just a standard form from the school itself.

To the person bellow, were you originally put on a waitlist?

E-mail from DGS.

Last of the rejections, 2018; 1a/8r/0w/0p. As for the earlier commentary on Ivies vs. credentials--the only program that accepted me this round was a partially funded Ivy--Columbia...yet, I was rejected from two other Ivies, 4 top programs, and a small low-res. I'm coming with a fresh BA from a middle-of-the-road private school, so you never know! It's a lottery. Haven't decided if I can even go/afford it since, officially, I don't have anything to negotiate with.
