I'm also going to Rutgers, on campus. Phyl, are you going to that new students advising session on 5/12?

Okay, fast-forward a week: I still haven't heard from Rutgers, and I'm definitely becoming less and less optimistic about getting in as time passes. Whatever, if I don't get in, I'll just reapply for spring admission.

Thanks for the advice and update, both of you! I called yesterday and was told basically the same thing, that I should hear by next week. One of my transcripts arrived late, despite having been ordered well in advance of the 2/1 deadline, so that put me towards the bottom of the pool of applicants for consideration. Still optimistic, though! I can't afford to do an MLIS program full time and still pay my rent, so I'm really relying on getting into the distance learning program.

Is anyone else still waiting to hear from Rutgers? My application status still reads "no decision," and I actually never got the email about my application being forwarded to the committee for consideration that some people said they got. I know some people were admitted almost two weeks ago, so I'm worried that no news at this point means a de facto rejection. I applied for the online program.
