emailed PI, replied "The admissions committee informed us that they have made an initial set of offers. I know that they have also made an initial set of rejections, so if you haven't heard anything from them, you're somewhere on the wait list. Unfortunately, we may not know whether we can make any more offers until people start turning down their current offers, which is usually not until April. " field - astro if anybody has better offers or is not planning to attend rutgers, pls let them know, this is my only hope now after being rejected from everywhere else. QD

I reached out to 2 of the PIs I applied to work with. Finally got a response from JH saying "Thank you for emailing. All interviews have been extended and we just had our interviews for the Rutgers PhD program." Said there were over 500 applicants but she was very sweet and said "not getting an interview is NOT a reflection of your potential in any way" and said she encourages me to reapply in the future. happy saturday
