RUTGERS! (2022-2023)

[ornate widget]

hi can someone tell me how to check aid

i have no clue what to do 😭

[proud mason]

https://cas.rutgers.edu/login?renew=true&service=https://my.rutgers.edu/portal/Login

login in here

and it should pop up

[ornate widget]

thanks!

is the aid going to be for all schools?

like i got into nb, newark and camden

[rain zealot]

yeah

there should be different pop ups for each schoool

[ornate widget]

do scholarships also show up in the financial aid section?

or do i check for them somewhere else?

[split dock]

rutgers out

[timber shoal]

Wow wtf I actually got something

[ornate widget]

how do you check the scholarship?

[ornate widget]

damn did i not get anything rip

[timber shoal]

But when I click on view details for NB, I can’t see any actual award info, is it just an unsubsidized loan?

[ornate widget]

aw 😍 thanks rutgers

[timber shoal]

I’m asking cause I got the exact same amount in unsubsidized loans, 5.5k, from FSU

WAIT NVM i figured it out

So ruggies NB and newark only gave me a 5.5k unsubsidized loan 😍

But camden gave me a 7.5k distinguished achievement scholarship 🥴

[heady skiff]

where are you guys going to see this

[timber shoal]

Rutgers net id login

[heady skiff]

where on the portal

okok im there

[timber shoal]

Cool

[mellow comet]

I got jack shit in state

[split dock]

is honor's college out too

?

[timber shoal]

I’m 100% not going to camden but I’ll use the 7.5k to negotiate w fsu

Oh I’m in state too

[stoic edge]

if you didn’t get any scholarships does that mean you didn’t get into hc?

[heady skiff]

where in the portal can i see financial stuff

[timber shoal]

Honors college releases separately I’m pretty sure

That’s a 10k scholarship and the only thing that would convince me to go to rutgers at this point lmao, and only new brunswick

[glossy parrot]

Ye same

How do I fix that

[neon escarp]

iTS OUT

DUDE I ONLY GOT 5500

wtf

its a fuckin loan

rip

[timber shoal]

Click on financials to see the breakdown of what you got

[timber shoal]

I guess that 5.5k is the standard amount everyone gets in unsubsidized loans, even if nothing else

[ionic basalt]

Bruh 20k

[hallow lantern]

Typically anything you get that’s 5500 is a loan

[prime flame]

I got 14k

[finite dove]

guys I can’t find out my finaid stuff

where is it? I logged into my NETID and don’t see anything

[timber shoal]

Yeah Ik, I figured it out

[fervent furnace]

Is this per semester

Yea does this mean u get later or what?

[hollow bluff]

does rutgers normally give out 0 bucks in aid?

cuz if that's the case i got fucked

[timber shoal]

Nope per year

[unreal portal]

Currently comparing my current finaid packages rn

It's cheaper for me to go oos than to Rutgers 💀

[plain locust]

bruhhh. That's funny. OOS to where?

[unreal portal]

Ithaca College 💀

It's not by much per year, but it adds up imo

[delicate wagon]

Depends on your efc

I got 0 aid from nb

Maybe a federal loan

If I want

[wary cipher]

How do you check

[unreal portal]

myRutgers

should be the first thing you see when you login

[hollow bluff]

i got nothing from every campus

[fervent furnace]

My friend said it was per semster

It said 11k off of total

So 37k

For every year

[delicate wagon]

Rip not even loans?

[unreal portal]

The way most of you guys are talking about NB while I got on the waitlist for it 😭

[delicate wagon]

I applied to too many schools to not talk abt it that way

And then got rejected from too many

I didn’t apply to any T20s

[sullen hill]

check if they got your fafsa, apparently my fafsa is still pending. I need to contact them. Rutgers messes up financial aid a lot

[hollow bluff]

my FAFSA was never completed according to them

resubmitting it now

slightly hilarious

also sent an inquiry

[delicate wagon]

Does it say pending

Wow

[cunning harness]

gotta wait till I get home soon to check my aid

but it seems like they gave no aid..

[hollow bluff]

still pending apparently

that's great!

seems lik eim not going to rutgers

[fervent furnace]

How can u tell it’s pending

It says I have to pay 0

[fervent furnace]

And I submitted fafsa

[hollow bluff]

click on the award detail and information

normally it should show you something like this

(i guess)

otherwise you'll seea nice box with the words "Pending" in it

[wary cipher]

How do you see your ru id

[vapid dock]

Bruh mine says no award data tf

[unreal portal]

We should have just waited for the email guys 💀

[vapid dock]

Does this include merit

[wary cipher]

Damn I didn’t get an email

Where’s the ruid displayed

[cunning harness]

oh I got an email saying I was accepted to NB again

lol 💀💀

[proud mason]

bro hide your name

[timber shoal]

The same is almost true for me with florida state, net cost of 38 or 39k

[unreal portal]

dude where

[fervent furnace]

Does this mean they didn’t process it properly

[proud mason]

on the top

bro

[unreal portal]

omg i thought you were talking about my phone screen 😭 i didn't know it was there

[fervent furnace]

Is it 38k all four years?

[split raven]

This school ain’t give me shit

[radiant elm]

its around 38k/year for me.

[tawny glade]

"$0" 💀

[split raven]

The audacity to stick a loan in my face after making me wait so long

[split dock]

hey

[warm ember]

19k not including loans and workstudy LFG

[cunning harness]

i have to complete my fafsa??

[warm ember]

[arctic drift]

When does honors come out

[cunning harness]

[warm ember]

[cunning harness]

[warm ember]

myrutgers

[cunning harness]

oh nah im in

[stone glacier]

Is this per semester or per year?

[delicate wagon]

^

[cunning harness]

i think im in honors 👍

i went back to the admission portal and saw this

[fervent furnace]

?

[cunning harness]

u dont have to pay anything ?

[fervent furnace]

why is it showing this

idk

[fervent furnace]

dang where do u see that

[cunning harness]

u know the website where u like applied at

[fervent furnace]

oh ok

[cunning harness]

and had to put in all ur info for the application

[fervent furnace]

yea ok

but did anyone else get decission for it

i thought it comes out by the first week of march?

[cunning harness]

i got no email for it, but wanted to check

[fervent furnace]

what does it say for u

since u got in honors

[cunning harness]

before it is this

mb

[fervent furnace]

whats the difference between the two

oh ol

[fervent furnace]

not this im asking financial ad

*aid

like how much u have to pay

[cunning harness]

oh it shows an eye

I think it's glitching

I'll wait for a bit

[fervent furnace]

click the link

not the eye

u should get to this then

[cunning harness]

oh yeah I clicked but it said I needed to submit FAFSA

[fervent furnace]

oh yea were does it say u need to submit it

can u send a pic of that

[idle terrace]

What’s the login info for the student portal

[cunning harness]

sites lagging gimme a bit

[fervent furnace]

alr

[cunning harness]

ok it's taking a really long time to load it all but it basically said required financial aid actions at the top where the red is

then says in a box for me to submit my fafsa

i just resubmitted it so 🤞

[fervent furnace]

like this

?

[cunning harness]

yeah

[idle terrace]

How’d you guys log in to that

It says my credentials are invalid

[fervent furnace]

did u get any scholarship?

[split raven]

Same

[cunning harness]

not sure

I'll come back on the site for anythinf at 5

[nocturne roost]

that awkward moment when it would be way cheaper to go to a better private school than fucking rutgers dkdkkd

their website is horrible aa

[split raven]

This school is dead to me now

Joining the pile with umass

[placid marsh]

do you know the different between honors program and honors college

[nocturne roost]

honestly same lol

[placid marsh]

is honors college out yet or only the program

[fervent furnace]

so do i have to submit fafsa again

[cunning harness]

actually so u see that img right, my submit all required doc said not required and above it said submit fafsa

and right next to it was submit fafsa

[nocturne roost]

where did u find honors college info?

[fervent furnace]

but what about my image?

[cunning harness]

not sure about the docs they want u to submit

[placid marsh]

idk I only found honors program through the applicant portal

[timber shoal]

no, per year 🥲

[fervent furnace]

talked to admission officer

they said admitted to honors should get email tomorrow

[timber shoal]

Only got into honors college for Camden

Fuck that

Is the 7.5k distinguished scholar award on top of the 10k honors scholarship, or is that THE honors scholarship??

[stone glacier]

bro how tf did i get into ut austin honors but not rutgers honors 💀

im in-state at rutgers

[vapid dock]

How do you know if you got in

[stone glacier]

the appliation portal for your application is updated

the place where you checked your status

they sent invitations to honors

at least i got into njit honors

[vapid dock]

Rip didn’t get Rutgers honors

[vapid dock]

Did they email you

[stone glacier]

would look something like this

[stone glacier]

^^

[timber shoal]

I got into FSU honors OOS, FSU had a below 24% acceptance rate this year and took 5/35 applicants (14%) from my school. But only camden honors.

[stone glacier]

oh well

[timber shoal]

Were u OOS for UT Austin?

[stone glacier]

yeah

their acceptance rate oos is like 8%

[timber shoal]

That’s crazy

[timber shoal]

Yeah I remember wanting to apply there when my major was business

[proud mason]

is this good?

[stone glacier]

yeah, u got into honors

congrats

[timber shoal]

Then I switched to econ and also realized how selective schools like UNC and UTA are for out of state students

[stone glacier]

i applied to tamu originally and was like why not apply to uta as well

and this i got into uta

[timber shoal]

Ohh I see

I also got completely rejected from UF

but almost 50 people applied from my school

[stone glacier]

god dam

only 15 applied from my school to uf

[arctic drift]

rutgers honors W

[heady skiff]

where did you find this

[arctic drift]

go to your rutgers portal

if you have a box like this then u got into an honors program

[hallow lantern]

Is it just me or is financial aid gone again

[sullen hill]

mine is too

but my fafsa said pending for financial aid earlier today so hopefully its cuz they are changing that

[prime flame]

Does yalls say 0?

[hallow lantern]

Where

[prime flame]

In the college financing plan

[fervent furnace]

Yea why?

[prime flame]

Cuz it should show how much I would need to pay right

Not 0

[fervent furnace]

Yea

But maybe it indicates smth?

Idk

[prime flame]

I'm just gonna have to call them tomorrow

[fervent furnace]

Does it mean full ride

[prime flame]

Idk cuz in my award it said I got 14k

But when I opened my plan it says 0

[cunning harness]

@fervent furnace so i also checked my college financial plan and it also says 0/yr for net cost; im going to assume that I prob have some form of "aid" they want to give but needed my fafsa for

im also thinking it's just a glitch/bug that people has theirs showing 0

rutgers in a tough spot atm

[heady skiff]

where do you see this

because i got invited to honors but i have no idea where to find this

[cunning harness]

on the financial aid portal

[prime flame]

Where can I check if they received my fafsa

[cunning harness]

when u click ur fin aid "Award Detail and Information"u should go to this page and click financial

this is just for financial aid

honors is on the application portal and something separate

[prime flame]

???

[cunning harness]

this is what I see, so that's how i know

[prime flame]

I see thia

[heady skiff]

ah i see

this is bugged

[cunning harness]

hmm they received it prob

[prime flame]

So it's like a glitch that I got $0 for remaining price?

[cunning harness]

yeah

[heady skiff]

does being in honors even give you money

[fervent furnace]

for me i have to upload documents

[cunning harness]

idk I'm gonna look into this tho

[cunning harness]

were u selected for federal verification by any other universities I'm thinking it could be that

[heady skiff]

💀

[cunning harness]

deadline March 1st bruh

[hallow lantern]

Rutgers is always bad at this shit, I have a friend who goes there and he says they’re always late

[cunning harness]

lolol

[pulsar bolt]

did anyone in state have their finaid doc give them the out of state tuition

like do i just need to officially apply to fix that

[hallow lantern]

Idk they already removed financial aid from my portal

[cunning harness]

I wouldn't even trust that finaid doc

lol that thing is messed up

[hallow lantern]

Mine is showing roughly $37k

In state and no scholarship kinda crazy

But whatever I’m not even going

[pulsar bolt]

mine is 45k in state w scholarship 😀

[hallow lantern]

??

How

[pulsar bolt]

i don’t know

it’s showing me out of state tuition rate

when i’m in state

[hallow lantern]

Oh

Commuting?

[pulsar bolt]

no on campus

[hallow lantern]

How tf does that check out to $45000

How much aid?

[cunning harness]

hmm can u ss that part?

the tuition portion I'm confused

[pulsar bolt]

for tuition and fees i have 34676

14738 housing

then 10000 in grants

[hallow lantern]

Gotcha

I was gonna say I saw some people with like $60000 cost out of state

Didn’t really add up

[cunning harness]

mhm

[pulsar bolt]

so just to confirm, in state people your tuition is less than 34k?

[fervent furnace]

yea i was

[fervent furnace]

what is this

[heady skiff]

a list of rutgers scholarships - just search up honors scholarships in google

[pulsar bolt]

@hallow lantern

[hallow lantern]

Yeah it’s about $18k

[pulsar bolt]

fuck ok

[smoky sky]

tuition or everything

[fervent furnace]

just for honors

or normal

[smoky sky]

@pulsar bolt

my tuition is like 17k for sas

everything for me says 30k

[heady skiff]

normal i think, but all the deadlines passed

[smoky sky]

my friend had that

Apparently he forgot to enter his state and county

hes in state

Go to 2nd tab on the top right of ur admission status portsl

Its like application selection or something

theb on the left go to the 3rd tab

its like family information

Then go down to residency

and check if u entered state and county

[pulsar bolt]

yeah i reentered to make sure and i’m gonna email

i had it in “residency” but not “mailing address”

which i think fucked me over

[smoky sky]

Well idk then

Maybe

[smoky sky]

yeah i got 14k for housing

16k tuition

i didnt even get aid

[worn sandal]

same

[smoky sky]

[worn sandal]

[smoky sky]

[worn sandal]

30k

it only has dorm and tuition though

also i'm prob commuting to rutgers because its only 15 minutes away

[smoky sky]

@worn sandal

[worn sandal]

30,571

[worn sandal]

yea

[smoky sky]

yeah that's prob why

if ur efc is over the tuition ur not eligible for scholarships

same happened with me

[prime flame]

How do I check how much I got for housing

Can some one send a screenshot

[pulsar bolt]

is this just instate

like are they gonna take mine away 😭

@smoky sky

[earnest willow]

anybody know the difference between dean's promise and the deans scholarship?

I only got the deans promise and my friend got both

we both got into the SAS honors colelge

[proud mason]

i got dean's

its 10k

[earnest willow]

you got only one of them?

[old canopy]

wait where do u find the scholarships

ia it on the rutgers portal or just for honors kids

[opaque parrot]

I can't find financial aid

[pulsar bolt]

they should’ve sent you an email w steps

[chilly whale]

Are all honors and scholarship decisions out

I literally got nothing omfg I’m so done

[sudden spindle]

Have you checked my.Rutgers?

[chilly whale]

Yeah I looked at my award portal and application portal

Both have nothing

😭omg

[sudden spindle]

Have you tried refreshing? I saw someone with a similar problem

Unless they just have u $0 but it would tell u that

[chilly whale]

Yeah I got nothing lol

I’m trying to cope

[sudden spindle]

Not even a small loan?

And Is this NB?

[chilly whale]

I got my financial package but it doesn’t have any merit

[sudden spindle]

Ohhh

[chilly whale]

I did get stuff just not merit lol

[sudden spindle]

Yea same

[chilly whale]

That’s what I meant

[sudden spindle]

I feel ya

[chilly whale]

Do yk if all decisions r out

I’m really trying to cope

Did I talk about murder in my essay or something cuz there’s no way

[sudden spindle]

From what I’ve seen honors has been shown on the initial application screen

[warped delta]

bro sit down i got $0 💀

[chilly whale]

Bro all I got was a Pell grant💀

[sudden spindle]

But if u didn’t get any merit(or the deans scholarship) it’s unlikely that u got in

But double check

I got just a tiny loan 😞

[chilly whale]

Ahhhhhh omg ugh

[sudden spindle]

Gl tho

[chilly whale]

Lol thanks but im done with this school

So stingy

[timid sapphire]

I have a question- it says i got total award for 2023 : $ 5500, but when I saw the details it says no awards that require review?

[sudden spindle]

Click details then click there top left

Where is says financial

[chilly whale]

Yeah on the financial page

[sudden spindle]

5.5 is likely just a loan

[chilly whale]

There’s a list of your awards

[sudden spindle]

That’s what I got

[chilly whale]

If u don’t mind me asking, stats?

Or dyk if it’s stat based or on your entire app

Sorry I’m just freaking out so bad

[sudden spindle]

3.0-3.5 range uw oos

[sudden spindle]

No idea

[chilly whale]

Damn that’s good you should be in

Screw rutgers

This is gonna be so bad for rd

[sudden spindle]

Nah I didn’t apply for honors

[chilly whale]

Aren’t you automatically considered

[sudden spindle]

I don’t think so

[chilly whale]

Idk it says on the site

[sudden spindle]

Oh so maybe

Welp ig i didn’t get into that then lol

[chilly whale]

Rip for the both of us

[timid sapphire]

oh yes thanks haha it was just a loan

[wet panther]

tf, ass system😭

[hollow bluff]

didn't egt a singl dollar

[old canopy]

same! i think

[hollow bluff]

man

[old canopy]

wait what’s efc

[hollow bluff]

expected family contribution

[old canopy]

oh 💀

i understand why i got no money

[hollow bluff]

mfw rutgers thinks im rich enough to pay 50k per year!!

[old canopy]

rutgers thinks everyone is rich

little rat bastards

[delicate wagon]

I will try negotiating lol

I’ll take anything at this point

1-2k per year would cover cost of transportation

[fervent furnace]

so if u didn't submit fafsa u would get money??

[smoky quail]

rutgers sucks

[delicate wagon]

Did HC come out

Did honors college come out tho?

[fervent furnace]

yes

everything came out

[fast cargo]

btw my college counselor spoke with the rutgers financial aid office and they said the financial aid packages that they sent out were incorrect

idk if it only applies to my school but yah

they said they’ll send out the correct ones within the next week

[smoky quail]

lmao

[fervent furnace]

can anyone verify this?

[chilly whale]

I saw redditors say that too

But I think mine is right I’m gonna have to pay so much money bumass school

[fast cargo]

i mean i can send the email my college counselor sent us

hold on

[chilly whale]

I hope that’s the case with mine but I think mine is accurate.. im just coping

[radiant elm]

how much do you have to pay ?

[delicate wagon]

Same lol💀

[chilly whale]

19k and I’m in state, with an EFC of 750

[radiant elm]

oh damn, i am 37k instate, with efc of 65k

[chilly whale]

Even Drexel is cheaper

Damn

[radiant elm]

no scholarships for me.

[chilly whale]

Same no scholarships

Manifesting better decisions for the both of us🙏

[radiant elm]

if i can get it for 19k/year i would love it.

what are you hoping for ?

[chilly whale]

I wanna do med school haha

So I want zero debt

[radiant elm]

so full ride ?

[chilly whale]

Swarthmore, Columbia, penn, all these schools I have no chance at

Yea

I’ll prob graduate med school with 400k debt anyway so any undergrad fees will be really bad for me

How about u? Where u looking

[radiant elm]

anything can happen on march 30.

[chilly whale]

My anything is a sea of rejections lol

[radiant elm]

its rutgers or ivy's/t20's for me

[chilly whale]

Maybe they’ll accidentally put my application in the accept pile

Ayeee good luck

[radiant elm]

my targets are too expensive.

[chilly whale]

Which targets?

[radiant elm]

praying for both of us.

UMD is the only one i got into. 60k/year

[chilly whale]

Damn

I hope things work out for u

Just one month

[radiant elm]

yea prayin.

[warm ember]

giving me umich vibes 🤞

[wet panther]

i got 22k, no scholies for me

btw

shouldnt merit scholarship be

need blind basis

or at least there should be some need blind merit scholarship

[warm ember]

only deans scholarship is merit which requires honor college invitation

[wet panther]

i see

[warm ember]

i think so can't be for sure

[wet panther]

eh who wants rutgers any way

😭

[warm ember]

well for cs, hate to break it ya, its better than unc

well actually im not sure

still can't get over my rejection from unc

[fervent furnace]

oh alr

[wary cipher]

How do I see what my Rutgers id is

[warm ember]

netid?

[cunning harness]

question, if I was accepted into the honors program am I in the honors college?

idk why I can't find this answer online

[wet panther]

im getting the same coa for both so honestly i could go either

plus, i wanna do CS + Finance

plus, family frequently visits carolina for work

so yay

[warm ember]

i want to say no but not sure

[cunning harness]

that's fair because ik u can be in the honors college but not the program or smth

[warm ember]

u do u. everyone fits differently to a certain school. choose what your heart wants

[warm ember]

yeah i got into honor college and not program

[wary cipher]

I don’t have my Netid lol

[warm ember]

activate one

if u did before, then click forget netid in the login page

[wet panther]

im still waiting for GT and other tech schools

lets see how that goes

[warm ember]

GT needs to accept u. only right they do

[wet panther]

let the AO think so too amen

[delicate wagon]

Gl!

[smoky sky]

wait is this legit

???

[smoky sky]

yeah i dont think u get scholarships at all if ur efc is over pay

rutgers doesnt give merit its more like need based merit

[fervent furnace]

Yea they do

Deans scholarship 10k

And presidents full ride

But like very rare

[smoky sky]

wait so the package they sent was wrong or what?

cz i only gota 5500 loan

does that mean i have a 2nd shot??

[fervent furnace]

Yea it’s wrong

[smoky sky]

like confirmed confirmed

[fervent furnace]

It will get corrected next week

Not confirmed confirmed

But someone sent screenshot

In the server

[smoky sky]

yeah i saw it

hopefully its legit

lmao

i feel like its too unprofessional tho

if its from like an actual rutgers officer they usually do like emails with font and like more description

idk

we shall see

wait nvm they said their counselor sent that

[chilly whale]

I don’t think so lol my package sucks ass and it seems like there was no mistake with mine. I mean hopefully yours works out though🙏

[cunning harness]

what the RU girl??

[wet panther]

this is hilarious😭

[finite dove]

this is INSANE WTF

[fast cargo]

yeah idk if this applies to everyone, but that’s just what my college counselor sent us

[finite dove]

can you ask if it applies to everyone or just your hs

[hollow bluff]

average rutgers

[fast cargo]

i gotchu, i’ll ask him today

[finite dove]

ty bro

[vale minnow]

How good is the Rutgers sas honors program

[midnight vector]

bro any results?

[fast cargo]

yah he said that he’s not 100% sure but he would assume that it’s a problem for others aswell and not just ppl at my school

he said that it wouldn’t make sense for it to only be an issue for one school so yeah

[finite dove]

they best be giving me a full ride

[warm ember]

Sadly it’s very hard

I have a 3900-4500 efc and only got 9k in aid and 10k deans

But hope u do get it

[finite dove]

I mean I’m somewhat happy with what I got now

I just wish the grant wouldve gone to NB instead of Camden

[cunning harness]

just checked and the same happened to me, my grants showed up on camden but nothing for NB :/

also just realized i have OOS tuition so damn

im assuming ill be considered instate next year since i just moved this fall

[warm ember]

That’s not how it works

If ur paying oos your first year then it’s like that all 4 years

[cunning harness]

i cant appeal after the first since i would be a resident after that?

[warm ember]

Then every single person on campus can?

If it’s like that, why would Rutgers have a oos tuition in the first place

[cunning harness]

idgi, not all of those people OOS would be living in NJ though or have a dependent in NJ

[warm ember]

R u in New Jersey rn?

[cunning harness]

ye

[warm ember]

Oh okay

Uh maybe call Rutgers about it

[cunning harness]

i think ill talk to rutger's financial aid office ye

im looking up like the terms and all that behind it for NJ and rutgers

but for now, i think im gonna assume you're right since that seems to be the case

[warm ember]

Well I was referring to oos coming into Rutgers

Not sure about ppl living in nj for under a year

[cunning harness]

ahh that makes sense i heard some universities in other states let that work

[warm ember]

Which ones have u heard about?

[cunning harness]

not too sure what unis r in some of em but i found like oklahoma arizona and washington

[thin niche]

you can appeal

[thin niche]

Persons who have been domiciled within the state of NJ for less than 12 months prior to initial enrollment are presumed to NOT be domiciled in NJ for tuition purposes

bro when you enroll at ru

[cunning harness]

gotcha

[thin niche]

i meant when you moved here

[smoky sky]

no thats not true

basically

if u apply out of state first time, for first year u hav eto pay out of state

after 1 year, if ur entire family/most of it becomes a proper resident of the state, ie they start working here (NJ) and actually buy a house here and u show that u are like an actual resident now, not just for college, u can get in state for the nexr 3

lol

[mystic breach]

rutgers was always my last choice but considering the schools ive gotten into idt paying that oos tuition is worth it

anyone else in the same position?

[finite dove]

well i got a grant for camden so overall rutgers would be around 120k for me, which isn’t the best but isn’t the worst. but I won’t be able to tell until i get all of my decisions

and finaid and grants and scholarships

[delicate wagon]

Yes 😔

[cunning harness]

yeah

i think it's kind of, the reality of the college situation setting in now

most of us prob expected better aid for oos schools

[sudden orchid]

What's the difference between honor college and honor program?

[delicate wagon]

College is full on living

You live in separate dorms and stuff

Btw any of y’all wanna join Rutgers 27 unofficial server

Just Dm

[sudden orchid]

Which one would give more money?

[delicate wagon]

HC I think

[sudden orchid]

Oh ok

[mystic breach]

At least u got some aid

I didn’t get anything 😭

[unreal portal]

Did a finaid comparison with my aunt last night (only person in the fam to study here in the US) and Rutgers - Newark ended up being the clear winner (commuter student, still in-state, can still do marching band, all that fun stuff)

At this point, it's going to be Rutgers vs. Fordham and Rutgers might come out on top I'm afraid

[hallow lantern]

I’ll probably be paying less for out of state UF than in state Rutgers

And if I’m not there’s only gonna be about 7k difference at most

[delicate wagon]

You got into UF?

Look at the US news rankings

UF is T30

And Rutgers is “close to” T50

[hallow lantern]

Yeah but I would’ve expected Rutgers to be far and away cheaper, especially considering I’m in state

My estimated cost was $38k

[fervent furnace]

isn't rutgers top 30

[hallow lantern]

UF is probably looking like $45k max

[hallow lantern]

Hell no 💀

[fervent furnace]

https://drafty.cs.brown.edu/csopenrankings/

check this out

and csrankings

my friends told me its pretty accurate

[fervent furnace]

btw thats gonna change next week

[hallow lantern]

Nah it’s not, my tuition and housing was correct

Didn’t get honors college so all I got was my $5500 aid

[fervent furnace]

other scholarships though

i think migth come

idk thou

[hallow lantern]

🤷‍♂️

[fervent furnace]

did honors college come out rn

[warm ember]

It should have

Check ur application portal

[delicate wagon]

7 k more 🤷‍♂️

[delicate wagon]

That’s a loan

[hallow lantern]

That’s why I said aid

[delicate wagon]

Yeah 💀

I got the same offer

[warm ember]

Bruh florida is such a rich state and they only giving y’all 5k that’s wild

[split raven]

Wait 38k? Damn my state school is like less than 10k net price after merit. And the ranking is more or less the same for cs

[fervent furnace]

u can also save that money if ur instate by commuting

it becomes 16k then

[inland basin]

any MS Health Informatics Admits

fall 23

[radiant elm]

did anyone's financial aid package change

after that email

[terse heath]

i wish

[fervent furnace]

it should in some time

[hollow bluff]

I emailed the one stop and they said once they recieved my FAFSA (which i still find very funny that they havent gotten it yet, even after resubmitting) that i'd get my finaid

so... guess i gotta wait another ewek

[humble robin]

5k…

cant afford this school even with 20k in aid, i’m fucked

cross this one out

[radiant elm]

alr.

[night summit]

here

The Financial Aid office is tryna charge me out of state tuition

had to email them to change it

[midnight vector]

how do you know if they've recieved your fafsa

[night summit]

They have definately got it atleast a week after u submit ur fafsa

trust

thats just how it is

[finite dove]

uh

what happened???

is this cuz they messed up the finaid stuff?

when will we get the correct finaid stuff?

[sullen hill]

your under the wrong year i think try going under 2023-2024

[finite dove]

aight

[finite dove]

how do i switch years?

[sullen hill]

bottom left of that financial aid tab should allow you to change the year

[finite dove]

aight 1s

got it, ty!

[sullen hill]

ofc

[fervent furnace]

Is there any way you can upload documents they are asking me to but I do not see that option

[sudden spindle]

Is it confirmed that the financial aid was wrong?

If so when will new one be sent out

[tawny glade]

Approximately 45 years from now

Give or take

[sudden spindle]

Seems about right

[rain zealot]

more like 450 years

[cunning harness]

so, I emailed admissions about my FAFSA not being received, i resubmitted, and they emailed back saying to allow 12-14 days for processing and that I will be emailed back when it is available

got the email, but checked back and saw no changes and the same $0/yr 🥲

[sullen hill]

im in the same boat rn 😭

[cunning harness]

altho i got the email like 2 days afterwards lmao

that financial aid def still buggin tho

[sullen hill]

fr it is

[thin niche]

its 30k

tution and fees is

$16,622

13,909

for boarding

transportation you arent going to pay because its just driving to new brunswick so -900

miscellaneous expenses i guess they exist but rutgers gives it to be about $3700 wherease other colleges its around 1500

textbooks for cs from what i see no one ever buys them and they arent required plus you can pirate -1500

you can also get the meals to be cheaper if you go for a lower amount plan

[smoky sky]

no its basically 38k

because if u buy the decent reasonable meal plan

its like 2700 per semester

so its basically 6k per year

so thats 36k and then a few other dollars in other stuff pretty sure

[thin niche]

its part of room and board

your board is the meal plan

[rain zealot]

lmfao a few months before i go to rutgers officially and i’m already considering changing my major 😭😭😭

i’m gonna have to look into how but. ima change from meteorology to marine science

i am a little worried if this affects my financial aid or anything in the enrollment process but fug it we ball!!!!!

[radiant elm]

so aid is finalized or will it be updated ?

[delicate wagon]

We don’t know

No one has 100% confirmed evidence

[rain zealot]

this is probably a “well wait and see” situation

[delicate wagon]

Yeah true

[finite dove]

if my efc is 17k and rutgers is asking me to pay more than that should i email their finaid?

[hollow bluff]

efc (atleast to my knowledge) isn't an actual amount that you're expected to pay

it's just a figure

[finite dove]

ohhh

got it, ty

[tiny juniper]

got into honors college for SAS! do we get some sort of schlorship? didnt say anything about that

[hollow bluff]

WWWWWWWW

not sure about scholarship

[timber shoal]

You’re supposed to get $10k for NB, if camden then probably 7.5k cause that’s what I got, not sure for newark

[shut kindle]

does anyone know the ranking for rutgers business

[delicate wagon]

Idk it exactly but it’s good

It’s getting much more prestigious

[shut kindle]

ah ok

is it possible to do double major

[delicate wagon]

Give me a comparison

[delicate wagon]

Yes 100%

[shut kindle]

like cs + finance

or smth

[delicate wagon]

Yeah sure

That can happen

[shut kindle]

like how do u then enroll

in both

[delicate wagon]

Well you’d have to ask them

You get into 1 school tho

[shut kindle]

yea i asked

[delicate wagon]

And start there

[shut kindle]

undergrad admissoin

they said they'll get back to me in a week bout it

so ig ill wait till then

[cunning harness]

i could prob see it being more "prestigious" (somewhat) by end of college if u go to rutgers

that is if rankings exist lel

[shut kindle]

ah ok

[night summit]

Rutgers has a pretty impressive ranking regardless

[radiant elm]

any update on aid

or is it finalized ?

[plush walrus]

me too, check your finaid, i got a full ride

[finite dove]

good shit bro

[plush walrus]

thanks bro

[finite dove]

you think you’re gonna commit?

[plush walrus]

im still waiting on a bunch of decisions, but it is one of my top choices for sure

[finite dove]

sick

[timid sapphire]

why does new jersey have some of the best public high schools

but worst state schools

rutgers is dogshit

both academically and financially

socially

and horrible sports teams

[plush walrus]

bruh what?

its not tho

[timid sapphire]

compared to uc berkely and umich it is

[plush walrus]

ok? what lol

[timid sapphire]

doesn't help that nj funded rutgers so poorly during the chris christie era

while other states

[terse heath]

whats the point of comparing it to t20 schools

[timid sapphire]

our state school has the potential to be a great school but its incompetently run

also for how good public school are in nj

the public state school should be just as good

instead we get a below average state school

that is clowned for letting dumbasses in

[plush walrus]

in fact, rutgers is a r1 research institution and a great school for stem

it has great proximity to nyc, philly, and the northeast

[timid sapphire]

still mad they waitlisted me from arts n sciences

[hallow lantern]

You’re a fucking idiot

[wary cipher]

You don’t know the meaning of below average bud

[hallow lantern]

Says rutgers is shit and then compares it to the top state schools

Like most schools look like shit when compared to them

[smoky quail]

rutgers is trash no cap

[wary cipher]

erm

[smoky quail]

https://tenor.com/view/jinx-the-cat-jinx-jinx-cat-cat-computer-gif-25786466

[split raven]

Did they redo the fin aid stuff

[grave folio]

fr dog

[velvet basin]

Best public high schools ... 🧐

。。。。。。

[sudden spindle]

Is financial aid confirmed getting updated?

[timid sapphire]

i was exaggerating

[velvet basin]

Top 30 maths

[prime flame]

My award disappeared

So are they gonna put it out again?

[warm ember]

make sure it's 2023-24 not 2022-23

[smoky sky]

if i submit a housing application
does it mean i have to go
?
like
what if i change my mind and decide to commute
can i just submit housing application but not dorm if i change my mind

[delicate wagon]

Email them abt it but id say there would be a way to get out of it

[hollow bluff]

Rutgers still hasn't gotten my FAFSA yet

that's crazy

[maiden cedar]

How competitive is Rutgers engineering program

[wet panther]

stalked ur linkedin a bit💀

u'll get in easy dw

pretty impressive ECs and academics

[maiden cedar]

I got in already lol

[maiden cedar]

Just gauging the competitiveness of the program

[maiden cedar]

Ye indeed

[old canopy]

[old canopy]

[wet panther]

[old canopy]

[wet panther]

oh no i just need to apologize just in case some snowflake gets upset about it

for no reason whatsoever

[old canopy]

💀

W snowflake moment

but fr tho

[wet panther]

😭😭

[old canopy]

its basically a safety

[wet panther]

yeah

[old canopy]

at least for a lot of the kids here

[wet panther]

i got into business as well

[old canopy]

great school tho too

[wet panther]

with no business ECs

literally none😭😭

idk why they thought i'd be a great addition to the business school too

[old canopy]

are they ranked well for buisiness

[wet panther]

god knows

it was my second choice major

[old canopy]

oo

[wet panther]

they gave that to me with the first choice

which is very weird

[old canopy]

oh

i didnt know they do that

ig they accepted you to both majors

[wet panther]

yeahh

technically all 4 majors

[old canopy]

have you gotten into GT if you did EA

[wet panther]

cuz 2 majors per school

[old canopy]

or RD

ahh

goofy system

[wet panther]

i got deferred to RD so waiting on that lol

[old canopy]

#reactionvideos

[wet panther]

[old canopy]

mhmm

[wet panther]

but after a point

[old canopy]

[delicate wagon]

I feel like it might’ve been done before but idk

[timid sapphire]

open house

[earnest willow]

is open house even worth going to?

I've already seen around campus with a current student

[worn sandal]

rutger

i feel like by the time i graduate rutgers is going to be more asian than white

[night summit]

Good

[hoary bronze]

i just watched a mark rober vid feature a rutgers professor lol

professor wang i think

cool collection of bugs he got

[split raven]

Rutgers NB has a 38% CS admitted to degree received figure... anyone know if there is a problem within the department or just kids not making it

i know it's very common for that figure to be sub-40% but it still worries me

[warm ember]

U scared of the tough classes?

[split raven]

I literally joined the rutgers CS discord and they all told me not to come.

like what

[warm ember]

Oh did u ask them why?

[split raven]

they sent me the RU screw google drive

[warm ember]

This happens at a lot of school tbh

[split raven]

it was pretty funny but idk

[warm ember]

Where ppl tell admitted students to not come

[split raven]

seems like a solid school tho

[warm ember]

Rutgers def a great cs school

[split raven]

better give me my IB credits tho

[warm ember]

They should be able to

[delicate wagon]

What is the RU screw?

[delicate wagon]

Why tho?

[shut kindle]

yea same

prestigious now?

[shut kindle]

whats this

[split raven]

it's 24th in terms of cs research in the US. solid in research

[split raven]

i'll try to find it again but basically it's the many ways that the school can mess you over.

[delicate wagon]

I’ve heard of this before. The “RU Screw”

What is it specifically for cs

That’s my question

[delicate wagon]

Rutgers and many schools alike are known to screw students in one way or another throughout their college journey

Maybe it’s housing, financial aid, courses, etc.

Course requirements being the most annoying one I hear

[warm ember]

They say it just bc they don’t like it

It’s like the same way how nj kids stay saying they don’t like Rutgers lol

[split raven]

there were so many slides.....i didnt make it past slide 5

[delicate wagon]

Bruh💀

[delicate wagon]

Well see if I stay I’ll like wherever I’m at. Unless it’s actually hell

[split raven]

If i dont like rutgers I can always go to UWis-Madison

lmao if i do, then my transcript is gonna look rly funky. 18 credits from IB DP, 17 credits from local college, _ credits from Rutgers NB, - credits from UW-M

[warm ember]

Nah ur going to come to UMich with me

[delicate wagon]

If I get in I’ll go to Mich 100%

I got family and stuff nearby

So my parents kinda want me to go there

But I wanna go there more cuz I like Michigan

I used to live in the Midwest

[warm ember]

Mich will do u right come march 24

[delicate wagon]

👍

[edgy holly]

yo if you find it can you send it here or dm me

[timid sapphire]

getting into cs at rutgers is easy relative to other universities you just got to be in the sas

did you get into uw madiosn

[split raven]

38% post declaration of major. Meaning after completing prerequisites

Oh yeah it is the r same for uw m

Atp tho I’m prolly gonna commit to case if I get off the waitlist

[timid sapphire]

did you get into uwm

[shut kindle]

how is purdue cs vs rutgers cs w honors programs any thoughts?

[long ruin]

Purdues is better i believe

[delicate wagon]

Honors tho

[terse heath]

purdue

but pretty close

choose the cheaper option

[radiant elm]

i would choose rutegers, b/c new york and honors is better than purdue.

[grave folio]

purdue, it’s a great cs school, but unless rutgers is wayyy cheaper choose purdue

[terse heath]

fr

[hoary bronze]

isnt rutgers in new jersey

anthpo graduating there this year 🥹

https://tenor.com/view/platyps-parry-perry-phenias-ferb-gif-19335337

[shut kindle]

but honors program there's a difference between honors program and college right?

[neat mauve]

its close to new york

[delicate wagon]

Yes

But did you get money?

[hoary bronze]
