Mason Gross admissions results

[douchamp]

Has anyone yet received word about an admissions decision from Rutgers' Mason Gross school?

Some people were rejected a few weeks ago, some people were invited to interview March 4th, but other than that, no word yet. I know they accepted some people last year without interviews but who knows if they'll do that again this year.

I know about it up to this point.

 

I attended the interview day last friday. Around 7pm that day, one of the faculty members approached me and said that they had already met around 5pm to select 14 candidates and had already made their decision. She told me that an admissions decision would be revealed over the weekend to Monday. 

I'm asking if anyone has been contacted yet.

Oh, I see. That's really quick turnaround--how I think it should be for all schools, honestly!

How did your interview go? I hope you get good news tomorrow, good luck!

Yeah, I agree.

I was astounded that they ha already made up their minds the same day that they interviewed. It's refreshing.

My interview was hilarious. We just basically told each other jokes and lost track of time and before we knew it— the interview was over. Most of the faculty had already said that they were really impressed by me and just wanted to get to know me in person.

I just learned that I was accepted into the Mason gross school. Great news.

I wanted to share in case people hadn't heard back from Rutgers.

Congrats!!

I found out last night I was waitlisted. 

Is that where you'll go? Did they inform you of funding?

It's more and more the place I want to go. 

The MFA program is free, that's as much as I know about funding. I still have to speak with people about working at the school during the semester for a job.

From what I saw last year they give pretty decent stipends--but then again I'm not sure if everyone was fully funded like it is now. I hope it is, though! Congrats again!
