"Your application was reviewed and the Committee has denied you admission". was told over ohone that i was not a good fit!! I would have understood if I was told that other candidates were a better fit, because, when I was exploring my fit, I was told that I connected with a couple of Prof.s. Those who got through this program, please suggest me how to go about this on email felicity.comm at gmail. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!

Informal e-mail notification. I was previously first on the waitlist (ranked 5 out of 7). To whoever declined an offer, I'm curious to know where you are going this fall!

Notified during interview.

I'm still waiting to hear back from 4 programs, so this will be my back up in case!

To the poster below: Thank you for the response, and congratulations :) Do you plan to accept the offer? If you are interested in getting in touch, please PM me (username = "honu090").

To the question below: I received a personal e-mail from someone in admissions as soon as they got word of the decisions, which was this Monday March 26th. But that was because for the last 3 weeks I called and emailed people I knew in the admissions and the department quite a number of times, trying to find out what's up with admission decisions to the program. They haven't really touched any of the PhD applications up until to 10 days ago, that's why they haven't contacted anyone. Any contact I received was in response to my calls and messages. But there's quite a lot going on at Rutgers Camden lately, I don't blame them very much. It's going to be fun! ))

To the poster below: Would you mind sharing from whom you received e-mail? I saw that my online status got updated to "Congratulations! You have been admitted." But I haven't had any contact from the program.

The long wait finally paid off! No confirmation of funding so far, but I was told it was being sorted out and confirmation should follow, hopefully.

Status website just says "accepted;" no word on funding.

Email from Brandon Fitelson. Anyone who has an offer from Rutgers, but thinks they will turn it down, please do so soon! (4, 1, 3) (A,W,R)
