I am a software developer at the university that I applied to (why not - free tuition) I found out before actually getting any official notice. One day, I got a call from a co-worker, about an unusual amount of data in one of the feeds that I am responsible for co-worker: we got an unusual amount of data in the feed this morning, did something happen last night? me: we did cancellations for non-payment last night, that is probably the reason, let me check. log onto system & check data file. yep, that is the reason. oh it looks like we are starting to see grad admits also. woo-hoo! one of the grad admits is me! wait...wait... - 3 more days before I got the official notice via email.

for what itts worth - I waived my right to see the letters, and 2 of the 3 letter writers sent me a copy anyway (along with a 4th who wrote a letter even though I did not ask for one, as soon as he found out that I was applying for a grad program)

fac/staff parking is a small percentage of your salary - so, how expensive it is is quite variable, sometimes I wish I were just adjunct faculty instead of a full time employee. From Edison - one stop on NJ Transit to New Brunswick, then take the campus bus system, most parts of Highland Park are a short walk to Downtown NB, then use the campus bus system FYI - the Rutger's Campus Bus System is the second largest transit system in the state - (after NJ Transit)
