I just found this thread, rather informative.
FYI, I was accepted for admission to Rutgers Doctoral Program. I received a packet in the post from the CJ Department on March 6th. A few days later, the other half of the paperwork from the Graduate School came in the post as well. Thereafter, I gave them a call to discuss the offer etc... I am not sure if they've made all their decisions or what. Until you hear one way or the other sounds like you have a chance.
I'd give them a call if you’re concerned about the status of your application; the people I talked to were quite friendly.
