Rutgers Interview

[heulwen]

I think the likelihood of your being funded would be quite high. As I posted above after an interview, DGS said that there would be twenty or something who get admitted to the program. I don't think all of them will decide to go with Rutgers. At least, you are on the funding waitlist, not rejected. Hopefully you'll end up going there. Keep your fingers crossed.

I hope you are right.. The email says that only four departmental fellowships are available, so I think this means that in order for me to get funding, one of those 4 fellowship-awarded people must decide not to go. Four is a very small number, so I'm not sure about my prospects.... Were you accepted with funding or not?

With funding. But I'm not sure I'm gonna go. These days I have been trying to make up my mind among a few other offers.

[heulwen]

Wow, congratulations What are your other options? Let me know when you decide

Hey guys, do you have any idea if Rutgets sends rejection mails? I was not interviewed but I haven't heard anything about a rejection either. What do you think I should get from this?

[ohhello]

@largo

I would assume a rejection since they've already conducted interviews. Right now they are in the process of sending out offers and it seems like they don't submit offers without an interview.

[wmnshlthsoc]

Is it bad that I'm hoping that some of those accepted will decline the offer so that I can be considered? I keep telling myself I'm on some waitlist or something and know that not all of the offers will be accepted. Rutgers isn't everyone's first choice right? :/

[ohhello]

I will probably decline! I love the faculty and the set up of qualifying papers, but I can't go without some sort of guaranteed fellowship funding.

[heulwen]

How many of us are waitlisted for funding?

[ohhello]

The email said the department only had 4 fellowships. So if they accepted 20 of the 40 interviewed, it seems like quite a bit of us are on the wait list.

[heulwen]

Good question. My guessing is they did.

[Cup of Tea]

I just got accepted with full funding, so there may still be funded spots left.

[heulwen]

You were not on the funding waitlist were you?

[Cup of Tea]

Nope, I was interviewed about two weeks ago, exchanged a few e-mails with my interviewer afterwards, and then got the acceptance e-mail from the graduate admissions director.

[sociology27]

congrats. I was also accepted and I think there's a high likelihood that's where I'll end up. What are your interests/background?

[largo]

Cup of Tea, are you a master student or a Ph.D? Because I applied to McGill as well, and I haven't heard anything so far.

[Cup of Tea]

Largo, I am coming straight from my undergrad, so at McGill, I had to apply for an MA (my file was complete by the end of october). I applied for a PhD at Rutgers.

Sociology27, I am most probably attending Rutgers as well. I will send you a PM

[Soc231160]

To the most recent poster in the results forum, could you PM me.... I think we were told the same thing....

[MyNamesNotRick]

I've been accepted at Rutgers also with full funding.

I've probably met some of you already in this thread.

Feel free to PM me.
