International applicant, CP subfield. Finally they could manage to send a generic rejection email :(

Finally heard back from Rutgers. I guess hearing nothing/no updates in the portal was a soft waitlist? I got an email from one of the Professors I had spoken to before I applied notifying me I had been admitted off the waitlist. Wanted to post here since I know a lot of us haven't heard anything from the department...seems like there has been movement.

Received standard rejection email after being on waitlist. Did anyone on the waitlist get accepted? If so, congrats! ❤️

Rejected but offer a MA (even not my first choice of major). No scholarships.

Off the waitlist yesterday afternoon...Totally thrilled. Many thanks to those who declined the offers. Dream program and top choice!

Was offered admission back in February 23rd, was on the waitlist for funding. Finally an offer with full tuition remission and stipend has arrived. Hasn't even set in fully yet. Notified via mail on 15/04/23. First cycle applicant. Grad GPA 3.6. 2 publications. 1 conference presentation. IELTS 8.5. Ending the application season with 1a/1w/1r. Best of luck to y'all! Never lose hope, an offer might just be around the corner.

Off waitlist. I still cannot believe that this is true!! Many thanks to those who decided not to go, as you facilitated the waitlist movement!! Wish you all the best with doctoral studies!!

Hey future PhD students, I am on the waitlist at Duke and was informed that there are still a few spots left. If you are accepted but not planning to go to Duke, please decline your offer sooner rather than later, as there are only two days to the deadline. My chance is not high but if this works for me because of your generosity, I pray for your success in the rest of your careers!
