Congrats! I heard Rutgers will only come in April... 

Despite having 5+ years of research experience, 35 publications, 10 conferences, and 3.86 GPA undergrad/3.76 MSW it doesn't seem enough for American universities. 

No admits thus far, still waiting to hear from 6 other schools. However not optimistic at all, planning on going to Europe instead.

I am glad to hear that you have been accepted to Rutgers. I also received my acceptance today. In my decision-making process, I am considering the financial sustainability throughout my doctoral studies in New Brunswick, NJ. I have never lived there, but I have heard that it is not an affordable neighborhood despite the fully funded package that I will receive.

I got acceptance from UMB and also invited for the virtual campus visit by USC as a finalist. I am still waiting for the response from Rutgers, which is one of my top choices.

I got an interview invitation from the University of Maryland - Baltimore last week, and the interview will be in this week. So far, I have had interviews from two schools (WUSTL, BC - one rejection and one waitlist) and two more left now (NYU, UMB). Still waiting for the responses from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, Rutgers, and USC. Finger crossed!

Hello, I am sure that you all will get into the school you want. I applied to 8 schools and received responses from 4 schools (OSU, WashU, BC, NYU). I got my first acceptance from OSU in early January. I had an interview with Wash-U in mid-January but got a rejection yesterday. I had interviewed two times in mid-Jan with Boston College, but yesterday I was informed that I was waitlisted. NYU requested an interview yesterday, and it will be in mid-February. FYI, I am an international student but received my MSW in the States. I have two-year post-MSW field experiences and around five years of research experience.
