Emailed by POI. Have not received official acceptance yet. POI mentioned this is a part of the "initial set of offers". I would guess that means there are more to be made (and these haven't even been officially sent out yet) in the weeks to come. Visits are sometime in March. I was also put up for a fellowship.

accepted with funding

Unofficial admission email from POI. Official decision will come the following week.

Got auto-generated reject mail. Have Master Degree with 3yr work experience. Don't know y got rejected. I applied on date of deadline, might have got shortlisted at least if I had applied earlier.

Acceptance notice via auto-generated email, but department cannot offer me funding so will be declining the place.

I am admitted the program without financial aids. So, I will not enroll Rutgers University. Congrat. to other students who are admitted with funding.
