[Communication/Media Studies Ph.D Programs Fall 2012--Apps, Decisions, and Waiting...]

By the way, does anyone know what's going on with Rutgers? I just noticed they had a recruitment event a few days ago for 27 admitted students. I haven't heard a word from them, and the status website still says "no decision". Should I assume I've been rejected because I wasn't invited? 27 admitted students sounds like a lot - there probably isn't much of a chance they'll accept more.

I attended the recruitment day- the admitted number of students was so large because there are three differen tracks within the School- Library Science, Comm, & Media Studies (the former two get funding, whereas Media studies barely gets anything). Funding is what a lot of people were talking about being a big decision factor for acceptance, myself included. Seems like an amazing program but without funding, meh.
