thisisliz Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I just got an email about moving on to the second round of screening today, and I applied the beginning of July, so it looks like they're still looking at applications? Don't assume rejection until they reject you, I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied in LATE July, got the "moved forward to second level of review" email in Oct, then finally got an interview invite in Dec. I was a low gpa student (actually low gpa not like 3.3) and have been helped by so many people in my journey - feel free to message me for any advice I will try my best to keep in touch as the cycle moves forward. The interviews come in waves so don't be discouraged- please be patient and kind with yourselves through this process. Hi! Do you have any advice for preparing for the Rutgers Interview? Or anything to watch out for? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, this was honestly my favorite interview experience, they are so nice and engaging. Very interactive and it sounds cliche but they ultimately just want to know YOU. Of course prepare the basic questions that are brought up in all interviews, but also think about personal things (things that maybe make you stand out from others, etc.). I would also say to review your application a little bit. There's PLENTY of time for Q&A so just have a couple questions ready, or you might even think of something on the spot that you're curious about based off what you hear during the entire session. Goodluck!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachels91 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 For those of you who received an acceptance, approximately how soon after interviewing did you find out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayNOtoNP Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hello everyone, I hope you all get in to Rutgers! I was wondering what you guys think, Should I update them of another acceptance before even being waitlisted? I only had an interview so far. Thanks in advance.

I interviewed a couple of days ago and want to be respectful of their timeline, but I have a pending acceptance elsewhere. My acceptance to another program actually came up during my interview, so I know they're aware and that's why I'm hesitant to email them about a possible expedited decision. I'm just not sure of the etiquette here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who heard back with an interview, how long did it approx take? I got the "you're moving to the next round of screening" email on 8/26, I believe. I received an invitation to interview on 10/13. So approximately 6-ish weeks later? Don't lose hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that ~ a week after interviewing seems like their timeline, despite them saying it would be about 2 weeks. Seems like most people hear back in about a week, so I will just wait. I did email them a thank you but did not mention my other acceptance since it was brought up during my interview. Been waiting a long time, so what's another week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not say anything about an "expedited decision" so I guess I will give it a week too. Quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgz4309 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I have a pending acceptance elsewhere and want to ask Rutgers for an expedited decision. Can someone who has done this let me know how that went? How did you word your email? How long before they got back to you? I would really like to attend this program so I don't want to come off pushy, but obviously I need to know asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSF08 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hi all. I interviewed on 10/26 and received the email that said my file was under review by the admissions committee on 11/3. Has anyone heard anything at all since then? I was expecting it to take only about 1-2 weeks based on other comments on this thread but it seems to be taking longer than expected.

danosorz Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Hi guys. Has anyone from the 11/9 interview received an acceptance? I just got an email stating that my file is under review?

From what I've gathered, that email you're referring to is their way of waitlisting, or putting people "on hold". So it isn't a rejection, but you may have to hang in there and be patient a little while longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
