Thanks for letting me know, and congratulations!!! I am a bit confused with no acceptance or rejection for me yet ? I checked my portal this morning and still nothing! Is there a program that you've been accepted to thus far that you are leaning towards attending?

Thank you! Maybe they're rolling out decisions ? Hope you'll hear some good news soon!

I'm now leaning towards PSU... But one of the reasons is that other programs haven't finalized the funding package yet. So it's still hard to make a decision at this stage!

Hello all. Has anyone who applied to Rutgers University heard back yet? I saw someone post that they checked their portal and there was a rejection. I checked mine and it still says "Check back for a decision on your application!"

Yes, I got admitted to Rutgers on Feb 16 (but waitlisted for funding). I received an email from the chair of their admission committee first, and then the portal updated few hours later.

Thanks for letting me know! Trevor is on a grant project with my POI at Delaware, Rebecca Nixon! We probably have a lot of overlapping interests. Did the department at PSU send you an email directly and/or did they talk about funding in it? Thanks in advance.  

I think so!! I'm doing human-environment geography and my research interests span across political ecology, environmental governance and colonialism. The department sent me an offer letter in mid-Jan and mentioned some funding details in it.

Hi Erin, Congratulations on Penn State! I applied as well but haven't heard back yet. Who is your POI at Penn State?

Also, I was accepted at Ohio State on January 18th. My POI is Becky Mansfield. Best of luck for the other programs as well!

My POI at Penn State is Trevor Birkenholtz. 
Congratulations on Ohio State!! I also reached out to Becky Mansfield last summer and I think her research is super interesting. Best luck for your other applications too.

Hi everyone! Just want to update that I got acceptance from PSU and interviewed with my POI at UW-Madison today. Is there any news from other schools? I think most departments have started their review process.
