<p>I am a transfer student and a week ago, I checked my Rutgers status online and it said I needed to resend my transcripts because they were missing a grade from a course I took in the summer. Very ****ed, I immediately requested a transcript from Ithaca College (my previous school).</p>
<p>Every time I go online to check my status, it still says "in process", but I hear people are starting to hear from Rutgers acting program. Do you think I should have found out by now if I got into the acting program? I feel like they should be able to at least tell me if I got rejected; why would they bother asking for my transcripts again if they are only going to reject me?</p>
<p>The worst part of the whole thing actually has to do with my transcript. Last summer, I was up in Ithaca taking Chorus to help fulfill a requirement for my old music major. However, unexpectedly I became an orientation leader and had to withdraw from Chorus. When Rutgers asked me to resend my transcript with the grade, I realized I never actually finished withdrawing myself from the course thus earning an F for my grade. The course was for 0 credits, so it didn't effect my GPA, but do you think it will effect my chances of getting into Rutgers?</p>
<p>I had the same exact problem and I kept worrying so I called only to receive a call back the next day from Barbara (the head of the department) saying that I had been accepted and my transcripts hadn’t been received which is why the status says “in process” rather than anything else. She said to call the admissions office immediately in order for the application to go through. I would call the theater department and ask if you were accepted, or admissions to ask what’s going on with your transcript.</p>
<p>Thanks! You have just given me a great deal of hope!</p>
<p>So I made a call to the theatre department and Barbara told me she was only able to tell me if a decision was made on my account, not if I was accepted or rejected, so I think I was probably rejected. She’d tell me if I was accepted, right?</p>
<p>Or maybe she was just being lazy. Probably not though.</p>
<p>Well… I wouldn’t give up hope. I know that she called me because my transcripts were not in and she needed them in in order to add me to the incoming BFA class. Call admissions and which Barbara did you talk to? Marchant or Harwanko? Because Marchant is the head of the program and SHE told me I needed my stuff in. I believe that Harwanko might have very limited access which is why she mightve said, I can’t tell you your status until your application is in. Try speaking to ADMISSIONS!! and make sure you speak to the right Barbara.</p>
<p>Oh, that makes sense - I talked to Harwanko. She actually then referred me to admissions and they proceeded to tell me that I would have to wait while Ithaca sent my transcripts.</p>
<p>I don’t know though, because I figured Marchant would have called me or tried to get in contact with me by now if I was accepted (since admissions still needs an updated version of my transcripts).</p>
<p>I really hate being this negative nancy that I am right now. I guess I am looking for an answer that no one is able to give me at this time. Its just that I walked into, and out of, my audition knowing that Rutgers is the perfect fit for me and I thought my audition proved it. I even had this feeling as soon as that I got in, you know? It would kind of suck if I didn’t get in after that.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I mean I would still try as hard as I can to get in contact with admissions and send all your transcripts in. I sent all my things in express mail and made sure my things were in because admissions at Rutgers takes forever… I would wait fro an official decision before getting discouraged, worest comes to worest, if you really felt it was the right fit for you and you don’t get in, there’s always the B.A. program whcih you may be able to transfer to BFA after a year… Remember there’s also waitlist, and remember that YOU HAVENT BEEN REJECTED. Keep your spirits up, there’s always next year. I mean I am a sophomore in college and I just got accepted into the program and have to start as a freshman for four years all over again. Don’t be discouraged. If your decision does come out that your rejected, remember, There are many different paths to Rome.</p>
