I only applied to the Ph.D. program at Rutgers. I found out that schools weren't requiring the GRE in December so I missed all of the other deadlines. (The GRE is a significant deterrent for me. I'm not interested in taking that exam and don't believe it's the best method to determine graduate school success.)
I'm from NJ and love Rutgers. I wish there were more stats about their admissions to this program. I want to understand my chances of getting accepted and acquiring funding.
I'm nervous because this is probably the last time the GRE won't be required for a Ph.D. program. Aka, it's my only chance.
My application details:
Master's in communication/4.0 GPA
Presented paper at a conf., soon to be published (not a high ranking paper)
Focused research topic
10 years of work experience
Bachelor's degree from a university that is ranked #18 by U.S. News
Have spoken to 7 of the professors
Also, I LOVE my personal statement. I can't even tell you how many hours I worked on it.
Please please please send good vibes. I'm praying that an acceptance to Rutgers is in my future.
