Rutgers Decision
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2022 2:41 pm
Did anyone hear from Rutgers already? I saw an acceptance on gradcafe today, but on the portal page my application just says its submitted, not even under review.
for current and prospective graduate students in mathematics

Do they usually admit on a rolling basis rather than waves?clopensets wrote: ↑Mon Jan 31, 2022 4:55 pmI applied to Rutgers last cycle. The application status remains as "submitted" until they make a decision.
I don't think they sent out any rejections yet, only few acceptances as far as I can seeScathrules wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:36 pmHas Rutgers sent a waitlist? Still haven't heard from them and I'm wondering if that means it's a waitlist
Some people posted on here that they received rejections from Rutgersms60000204 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:44 pmI don't think they sent out any rejections yet, only few acceptances as far as I can seeScathrules wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:36 pmHas Rutgers sent a waitlist?

I really hope that is the case but I see many people are still waiting for their decisions and only two rejections so..Scathrules wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:47 pmSome people posted on here that they received rejections from Rutgersms60000204 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:44 pmI don't think they sent out any rejections yet, only few acceptances as far as I can seeScathrules wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:36 pmHas Rutgers sent a waitlist?

Same here, no rejections nor waitlists.bigbang wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 7:58 amHi! I have seen many acceptances and at least 3 rejections from Rutgers math Ph.D. program but I have NOT noticed anyone getting waitlisted yet, here or on GradCafe.
Has anyone been waitlisted and informed of the same by Rutgers? Or has anyone tried reaching them and heard back something that can be of help to us? I have NOT heard anything from them yet and wonder how to interpret this.
I wonder if this is what Rutgers does every year with “probable waitlisted people”?
Same. I have a same situation for other schools. I applied for 13 schools and only have heard back from 3 schools so far. I think it's because my profile is very mediocre. Not too terrible, but just not good enough.Decoder wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 1:22 pmSame here, no rejections nor waitlists.bigbang wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 7:58 amHi!

I'm in a similar position... several schools without any update at all. I think it would be nice to at least contact students to let them know they're on the waitlist rather than having to respond to every individual student who asks.ms60000204 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 2:07 pmSame.

I feel like they didn't really send out rejections yet.Scathrules wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 2:29 pmIs it safe to assume that we're on a waitlist if we haven't been accepted or rejected? Did anyone email them because I can't seem to contact Rutgers
I am pretty sure that I have seen at least 2 rejections on this forum, and at most 5 acceptances yet.ms60000204 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 4:54 amI feel like they didn't really send out rejections yet.Scathrules wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 2:29 pmIs it safe to assume that we're on a waitlist if we haven't been accepted or rejected?

However, it may certainly be possible that they are NOT yet done with sending out all rejections (they may send it in waves, just like U W-M did), in which case one shouldn't "assume" being on their waitlist.
From what I've seen, Rutgers doesn't really send out rejections, they let you know if you've been rejected or not only if you email them for an update. I might be wrong though.bigbang wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 5:20 amI am pretty sure that I have seen at least 2 rejections on this forum, and at most 5 acceptances yet.ms60000204 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 4:54 amI feel like they didn't really send out rejections yet.Scathrules wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 2:29 pmIs it safe to assume that we're on a waitlist if we haven't been accepted or rejected?

I wrote them last week but they haven't gotten back to me. Has anyone gotten a successful response? If so, what Rutgers email address did you write to?Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 03, 2022 6:12 amFrom what I've seen, Rutgers doesn't really send out rejections, they let you know if you've been rejected or not only if you email them for an update.

I personally haven't emailed them yet, but I had reached out to someone who had (and got a reply pretty fast).

So I emailed them yesterday and got a reply today informing me that I'm on their waitlist.Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 12:26 pmI personally haven't emailed them yet, but I had reached out to someone who had (and got a reply pretty fast).

Did they also mention how many applicants are on their waitlist, or did they tell you where you stand on the waitlist?Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:09 am

Just "not sufficiently high to make it clear whether or not we will reach you".bigbang wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:53 amDid they also mention how many applicants are on their waitlist, or did they tell you where you stand on the waitlist?Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:09 am

Does that suggest that they have a long waitlist? Or, maybe they just cannot tell you for some reason?Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 11:09 amJust "not sufficiently high to make it clear whether or not we will reach you".bigbang wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:53 amDid they also mention how many applicants are on their waitlist, or did they tell you where you stand on the waitlist?Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 9:09 am

Could be either, past years posts suggest that Rutgers generally has a long waitlist. I also asked for more details if possible (roughly where I stand, how many people, etc) and was told that they cannot disclose that information.ms60000204 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 5:25 pmDoes that suggest that they have a long waitlist?

I was also told that I'm in a waitlist, but it is less likely to reach me.Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 12:54 amCould be either, past years posts suggest that Rutgers generally has a long waitlist.

Which email ID did you contact? graddir@math.rutgers.edu is the one to email
I emailed grad_help@gradadm.rutgers.edu, but I'll email the one you provided. Thanks!Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 12:34 pmWhich email ID did you contact? graddir@math.rutgers.edu is the one to email
No I haven't. I'm not expecting to heat back anything based on what they told me
I emailed grad_help@gradadm.rutgers.edu and heard back within 24 hours (a denial).
I emailed them to ask if there were any updates, was told that there's no change. They also mentioned that accepted students tend to notify them of decisions very close to the 15th, so that's when people are taken off the waitlist (if at all).
I emailed them on Tuesday and got the same reply as this.Epsilon_314 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 08, 2022 11:19 amI emailed them to ask if there were any updates, was told that there's no change.

Rutgers has had long waitlists in the past so it is possible that people have been accepted that haven't reported it on forums.bigbang wrote: ↑Fri Apr 15, 2022 6:18 amIs it not surprising that Rutgers has not been taking people off its waitlist since 11th April (unless there are people who have not reported about such updates on online forums)?
So many people have already declined their offers from Rutgers and it's the 15th of April but no news from Rutgers yet!
