did all merit scholarships come out
apparently, no point in honors program, no merit scholarship given in it. Honors college gives a merit scholarship tho
We've been traveling around in a van answering hard hitting questions. This time, we answer: Is Bigfoot Real?

Thank you, Jimbleish and Zenn, for helping post John Stanton's TikToks.

this is what a rutgers educations gives you š
honors program can also give merit scholarships
well rutgers doesnt
late but me
it does
I got invited to the honors program & also received a merit-based scholarship
I am! Actually my birthday that day lol
Nah Anthpo was like that before college
But tbh if I go to Rutgers
Imma try to have as much fun as this man did.
Really something to look up to
that video was funny af lol
vivvian wholly believed in big foot actually delusional šæ
yeah just saw the vid
anyhow for RU co27 discord server link dm me
cannot post link here
yessir
yah, theres the dinner event thing that I plan on going to
really got this email after resubmitting my fafsa and still $0
might needa come here š„±
@long ruin nah
Simply resubmitting fafsa acts as a request for more money?
Also why they gotta do u like that
nah they never received my FAFSA when I submitted
Ah damn
Are u out of state or in state
Me in state be like š
They gave me some aid but to the point Iām basically full price if I donāt take loans
OOS, but idt worth it either way
You getting any aid?
Wut state if you donāt mind me askin then?
Wuts your state school?
Or another comparison to Rutgers
That youāre considering
coming from PA, moved in NJ this fall
I didn't apply to Penn state, but all of my PA schools gave me OOS tuition
I'm prob gonna look into community colleges around here in NJ to apply to and transfer into NB
Well tell this to Rutgers then
Try negotiating cuz youāre basically in state
And have been since fall
I know thatās a little short of state residency time
But by the time youāll start college youll be a resident of Nj soā¦
that is fair, but they do say it has to be before I apply
I'll contact I think (one stop) again
and write a formal letter to negotiate
Did you send application before moving?
that makes sense, I might bring this point up for clarification
You should definitely if Rutgers is your top choice
yeah I actually kinda really liked Rutgers after watching YT videos and seeing a lot of the cool stuff people do
Anthpo?
Also wuts oos tuition?
36k right?
I think like 33k but yeah anthpo and some other random tubers
Itās 16k for me in state
Ask them to match to in state
If they donāt, keep trying to lower it
Try to get it around 20k
Itās not a bad deal if the different between what offer you get and in state if itās less than 10k of a difference
Especially considering the educational benefits
should I mention other university offers or nah bad idea
idk ask your counselor or sumn
im not sure myselfš
she sucks but idt it would hurt to ask
I did this but they said I couldnāt get anything
What now
Are you living in state tho?
Ohhh no
Or did you move in
Yea I forgot p6 was in state
Yeah
But what else is there to do to lower my tuition
Ask them for financial aid
Like negotiate
Show them wut other unis giving you
For aid
Well you appeal for aid regardless of merit/financial difference
Aid is aid
Compare offers
Keep trying
Or take on schoalrships
You in state?
Oos
Yea itās pretty steep
Full tuition
Yup
Yea Iām gonna
Hmmm
Yea
Then keep trying is the beta advice I can give you
I started applying to outside scholarships
Yea Iām gonna keep trying
Thanks
Ask in #š-general-chat
Good call
They have good-decent advice
I wouldnt hope on outside scholarships, but they r good for now
Ik but Itās worth trying
my tip is prob get a job if u don't have one atm
at least in this sense u have "guaranteed" money
Yea I was also looking into work-study
work-sat is diff from a job sort ofbut yeah work-study is nice if it's offered
I may be wrong but it is possible to do work-study and have an on campus job if money is really needed
np and gl š„²
Dont they also have part time jobs?
Iād prolly wanna work part time
Work-study seems like more of a commitment
part time is good, however don't work full time and try to manage college at the same time that'd be so hard i'd imagine
I need a job so that I can have money to spend on hobbies and stuff
Like money to spend on myself
My parents + loans will help me for tuition
ye that makes sense esp if u dont plan on using the meal plan or smth
Wait is meal plan mandatory?
uhhh quick someone research idk this
Either way I have an expensive hobby
500$ expensive
If you put me in a room with like $500 worth of legos and lock me up there (provided with the necessity amenities for life) I could prolly stay there for a week with no issues š¤£
But fr fr building scale models of things with the lego brick is EXPENSIVE now
Ive heard about this ye, Lego bricks increasing in prices, but I build and paint plastic model kits so basically both as expensive
Yeah understandable
how many courses do you take per semester at rutgers? Also how many semesters are there in an academic year?
so the rutgers multiple colleges thing like how much of an impact is there on ur day, id imagine bussing around wastes a bit of time through ur day and im kinda min max w my schedule (but maybe im just being dumb idk)
Probably not much. The busses only have like 4-5 stops per route and most routes go between two campuses. Unless you schedule classes back to back then you should be fine
do u know how the open house works too btw are the buses free or do we have to pay
The busses are free
oh swag
There isnāt a set schedule for admitted students day thereās a bunch of things happening at the same time and you choose which events you want to attend
yeye
Fellow open houser š„³š„³
helloo r u likely committing?
U?
it was like 80% a week ago and now its like 30% but already purchased a ticket for open house so we'll see
purchased?
OH
if i had to pay to attend an open house i would not go š
usc LOL
What
Yall, so rutgers is a 1 hr drive away from me, and my parents dont want me to dorm
Would commuting to rutgers nb, at least for the first year, be a feasible idea?
Im in manhattan
I think commuting would also save money right cuz i wouldnt have to pay for room n board
(But id have to get a car lol)
Take the train
same here but my parents suggested i stayed in a dorm just so i don't waste my time commuting and also first yr is def an experience so dorms would be a good idea
But you're right, it saves you a lot of money (that's what I had in mind but my parents want me to dorm).
Lol weāre opposites here then, my parents want me to stay homeš thats good tho, hopefully it pans out for ya
Hmm around 1.5hrs commute if i take the bus
Wanna join the Ru 2027 server
Dm me
Yeah but the New Brunswick train station is like literally on college Ave
The Rutgers bus stop is 2 minute walk
1.5 hours there and back or just one way?
One way? 
One way
Im on the upper east side so around 25 mins using the Q train to get to the station on 42nd, then an hour ish to get to ru using the njt
20 mins is very doable bro
Ik a lot of ppl commuting like an hour to college
Iād rather stay in the dorms year 1
Cuz itāll help me get to know the campus
Thatās like 3 hours per day
If u can and can afford it go for it fr
Gas prices š
If I subtract gas prices for that from dorming cost then Iād be ok with it
Like the rest is the cost of efficiency
Maybe for spring semester transfer or sumn
Not for fall 2023
Which campus?
I only know for NB
ok
But their application was due Dec 1
Although
Their transfer app due date is April 15th
Yeah youāre definitely not getting int for fall
ah ok
Isnāt Rutgers rolling?
For spring 2024?
Idk actually
It said for transfer
Maybe itās for fall
But idk
the only college that saw my potential frfr
anyone apply rd get fin aid?
Wasnt rd the only option
Idk if i was rd but i deffo wasnt ed, they only gave like 16k in aid plus 3k in loans
Im oos
they have ea snd rd
Anyone here going to the open house tomorrow?
If anyone goes, can you post pictures here
And like anything comp sci related as well
yes
You going to Rutgers?
if my waitlists drop me then yeah def
do you know if gatech looks at high school transcript for transfers
same
rip
yeh
idk what to do for ECs and recommendations tho
do you still need a councelor's rec?
how the hell do you get to know a prof as a freshy
and they have a much higher transfer acceptance rate
ye
just gotta be really active in class
maintain a 4.0 gpa
or lile 3.8 min
š¢
ezzzzz
and i think its even higher acceptance rate if u go to a georgia uni
or georgia community college
so uga or gsu maybe
why are my msgs being blocked
cant use st*m words
tf
im doing c*lc 3
or like apply to
fr?
uiuc
mvc suckl
gt, wisco, amherst college
werent you c s?
i am
lets see not sure
uiuc oos is too much
so may not be able to afford
wby where u planning to apply
imma finish professor leonard vids before going to college
ill take mvc in sem 2
probably
doesnt look too bad
im fairly certain that i can bag a wisco transfer since they have a high accept rate and they dont admit by major
yep same
have to brush up on j a v a tho
i think gt likes it if u take harder classes
idk tho
academic rigor dont mean shit
hmm
they only want good stats
academic rigor isnt q u a n t i fiable and college cant profit off of that if you can q u a nify it
f this stupid regex bullcrap
fr stupid a2c
idk then how do we bring an edge to application?
after the 4.0 gpa
what do we do
EC
lul
just make websites and shi
what can u do as a freshman lols
lmao
lmao bruh
if zucc did it then i can do it
true
yes we must cheat the system
wtf is this censor shit
i only need like a bit
oh what
that's ass
do they give scholarship
yeah amherst college
ew
liberal arts colleges are cringeeee
stanford doesnt give aid too
oh yeah umich
ne has good cooop
alr private schools it is
how is stony brook above rutgers
does USC give good aid?
i think TA is possible as freshman
you can do LA but idk abt TA
LA?
you have to get like an A in the class tho
then sign up
maybe get a letter of rec from that prof later on
needa bust our assssssessss
if u dont get gt u defo going to wisco?
or staying at rutgers
šššš
soup
u got inro purdue right
are u deciding between usc and rutgers?
nah
W w
Finna be legal slaves
where u committing?
i think unc is a better uni but purdue c. s is nice
rugers
yeah but the location for purdue is ass
cant do that
yep yep
unc is definitely great but the major isnt confirmed
cant deal with that stress
dont wanna go thru the entire application process again
hard choice
yeah like 83
so yeah, pretty fucked everywhere
more like 91š
ššš
its still bearable
about 60k tops
intls usually get that cost everywhere...plus the education quality at unc will be high
O damn thereās a whole new common app form for transfer students
aint no way rutgers said their system bugged and didnt process my fin aid š š š š
not surprised their system has been mad bugged
did anyone appeal their financial aid for rutgers?
no way...
don't they need to send it soon ?? š
they said 7-10 business days bruh
omg..
come to purdue w me
im still deciding b/w purdue and rutgers
i heard rutgers doesn't have an actual department for cs is that true?
ššššš
and thats my cue
unc commitš
wdym
nothing
oh
im prolly gonna commit to unc
u instsate for unc
oh dang
so fucked everywhere
how much does unc cost
total tuition + board
cuz ik purdue pretty cheap in comparison to a lot of places
57k py
hmm
affordable
idk purdue has a better reputation thou
i cant go over 60
and its only 40k
or 70
northeastern is too much ngl
yeah but location plus i wanna do Biz + CS
so
unc beter
ah ok
double major?
or major + minor
cuz ive heard purdue is also good for business
its top 15 or smth idk
both work, unc isnt admit to major so i can decide that depending on the coursework
i doubt its t15
t20 prolly
unc is 11
and 26 cs
purdue i 20 cs
not thaaat big of a difference
same thing with me
it does
go to PURDUE! if u dont mind the small city that is
but if u want a huge school thats not just stem focused then rutgers
does anyone know if its possible to transfer majors from SOE to RBS
yeah it is
rutgers cs building
pretty
send me this š
I donāt have it but itās the standard housing issue and bus stuff
Yāall btw there is a Rutgers co27 server if yāall havenāt already joined
Send
Done
can I get an inv
Done
I didnāt get it
I resent it
can you send it to me pleasee
Done
thank you so much
im a junior in highscool and just wanted to know for the ppl who got into rutgers nb bs what was ur gpa and sat
very worried rn for next year lmao
whats ur stats
yeah ur fine
yeah i know people with like a 3.2w who got in ur good bro
and 1300+ is good for rutgers
oh nah cause a lot of ppl in my school got deffered and they had liek 4 soemthing gpa
and 1360 and above
so i jsut got scarrred
yeah this yeaer was weird my entire grade got deffered lol
but they accepted alot after thi
tho
yeah u rrirght ty
what major ?
yeah i think rbs is the most competitve but ur fine
ty
Oh wait shi
nah but like rreally? i know that can work for sas
Um
Idk man but I believe in you
Just retake the sat
Tf š
Manz is 2 months late
I applied rbs after rd and they waitlisted me after 3 weeks
Like a few weeks after rd
O
Ur def getting waitlisted
Same lol
Lul
If I applied before rd I think I wouldāve got in
I took ap Econ and accounting etc
Are there any benefits of being admitted to rbs
Not really unless u want to purse finance or sum
I just wanted to see if I would make it cause I heard this year was competitive for rbs
Yeah tbh your GPA alone is good enough just keep it up and retake the SAT and youāll be fine
Good luck have fun!
whats ur unweighted
also retake the SAT and once u get 1400+ ur chill
idk my unweighted but realistically i donāt think i can get 1400 and above
.
hmm
i know someone who was 4.2 weighted who got deferrec
try to bring it up
but ik rutgers puts good weightage into sat score
so a 1400 should fare well
and watch youtube vids use erica meltzer for grammar and jus take more practice tests
thats how i was able to perfect my math and do rlly well in the end
ty
Howās ur e/cs
is business highly ranked at rutgers?
last time I checked it was top 100 on the uswnes reddit post
basketball freshman to junior year
volunteer bronze presidential award
yeah thatās it š
Idk man I feel like you should only do business if you got to a t10 business school, cause those are the only schools firms will take seriously
Thatās like⦠only@ivys
nah
kelly uva stern and ross are non ivys
still hard but apply for those ud have a higher chance
also use this it says rutgers is like 69 or smth so go somwhere else if u have a better optio n
not true
people can get solid jobs in IB/Quant even in schools as "bad" as ASU
what the better schools will do is make it so you have to put less effort to get the same job
e.g. bringing companies to you instead of the other way, having a lot of company interviews at teh university,
if you want to do business though just know that business by itself is an idiotic degree
it needs to be paired with something else or you're effectively locking yourself into one market that's hard to break into
Yeah but those are top business schools. Iām taking about mid tier ones like Penn state or rutgers umiami for instance
Anything is possible , but the odds are super low
not at all
i wasn't saying people can get as in it's a non-zero possibility
I meant as in it happens very often
I have contacts in ASU, Rutgers, Columbia, and a few other schools who I norm ask about work in tech/finance
(ik i sound like a fucking hacker man saying contacts but I say that because I'm not really friends w them j happen to know them)
they've got a ton a friends who've been getting recruited left and right
esp rutgers
In IB?
IB, Quant, both buy and sell positions and a few front office
They prob got mbas
undergrad
MBAs also don't help you for Finacne
they set you up for managerial/exec roles
hit the plus, join, input hte inv link code
š
š
I can send you the invite
thank you
only 3 ivies have business undergrad lol
I miss read what you said
i got in with a 3.98 gpa and 1530 sat
but i had like virtually no biz ECs
so
HELL YEAAAAAAA
Naisu
god damn 1530 is crazy
^
šššš
i got it second attempt
1st attempt was a 1470
its actually quite feasible uk
score 790-800 in math
and 700+ in eng
when put in that perspective, looks vv doable
My last attempt was 1470
Then I stopped
For the sat most people can be trained enough to get 1300+ for sure
But after that the studying and knowledge needed exponentially goes up
highly doubt that lmao
i needed a bit coaching for the english to get it above 700
sat math is fairly easy
ex gt simp will u transfer to gt
if i get cs and biz at unc then no
šššš
cuz ive researched enough abt unc now
like i have comparable knowledge abt unc and gt both
and honestly it wont make a big difference
unc is pretty nice too
sexy ass location and pretty similar to gt in every other way
except ofc cs program quality, but its not far behind either...its 26th on us news and the curriculum is fairly nice
plus biz program is awesome at unc and i always wanted to double major...unc is ez to double, gt isnt at all
Dude the avg score is like 1010 or sumn
how do i apply
Go into app portal and click on add school button
Then select rbs
i dont get how thats possible but alright if u say so
kids prolly dont take it that seriously when they're young
so that skews the average
No look it up. Itās around 1050
Minimum score is an 800
No itās just that the average American high schooler isnāt the brightest
No itās 400
200 per section
1050 seems hella low tho
I mean to you
To people who have spent actual time studying for the sat 1050 is hella low
But to the average high schooler thatās average
Ig nationwide average gets down to 1050
Yeah
And the states with the highest average scores have some of the least participation
And the states with the lower scores have the most
Like a 1400+ is close to 95th percentile
thats prolly true who knows
Is there a discord for admitted students?
why is no one taking the SAT in some states lol
Unofficial 27 yes
What this
stats?
3.8uw, ib diploma, 1500, some national level awards and an app that got integrated with my school district
Not going rbs tho
Iām going SAS
I also told them Iām working on getting a monetizable service started up.
Idk if that helped
WhT what?
I applied hella late tho. Just apply EA and you should be good
Wait @wet panther did you get rejected by GT
ye
You were too good for them
Yo
What the fuck
Is happening to Slutgers
They dropped so hard in CS
Fucking Ohio is 24th
But Slutgers is 41
How the fuck
They have so many fucking good professors
Like Szegedy
And get
Yet
They are so ass
This is another reason to leave this fucking state asap
Thatās the graduate ranking
bro how tf is ohio state 24th
Osu grad school is rly strong
i guess you regret commiting to rutgers now?
Iām not committed
I didnāt apply Ohio
State
Iām waiting for my waitlists
I got waitlisted at a lot of places
ah
i wish
parents not letting me 
at least you can take my spot
Tbf Purdue engineering is hell
So better to transfer after a year a Rutgers
To like Umd, wisco, or gatech
I didnāt even fill out the waitlist form bc last year the acceptance from wl was like 0.14%
Which is insane
damn
also for umd there is guaranteed admission if you go to community college in maryland and get a 3.0 gpa
The regular transfer acceptance is like 60%
I aināt going to no cc
ic
Wisco is also like 60%
So if I end up going to Rutgers for a year then ima choose between the two
where ru thinking of transferring to
undergrad is also low
rlly??
bro usnews be capping
when do they rank undergrad by?
They were the same ranking for 2022
As osu
Idk why they flipped the whole ranking within 1 year
They prolly factored dumb things like sports into their rankings
unless i go to gtech, uiuc, or berkley i am not going to transfer
i'm commuting so rut is going to be about 18k a year max
i don't think its really worth paying close to 60 grand for umd or wisco.
even for transfer
Thatās fair
Although Uiuc and berk is impossible for cs unless youāre non teaditional
Hi Guys I am also admitted to Rutgers NB for CS in Fall 2023.
is anyone committed to rutgers engineering?
yes
if anyone is honors college looking for a roomie hmu :)
anyone whose been admitted to rutgers SOE, was it hard to get in? Cause im loking at my application and I feel like I'm lacking in somethings ( I'm my worse critic btw) So i feel I'm fine but I really just over think about it
im instate btw
Why did rutgers go public in 1945
You started on apps already?
Nah just planning
what major @quartz valley
Aerospace engineering
really not that hard imo, but idk what you have
not that hard at all
does depend on his application tho
still, i did check it out
he is fine as long as he does something in aerospace or remotely related to it
it'd be good to have some EC related to your major mainly cuz it helps to show how you got the interest in the first place/tried to explore that interest
as long as ur not afk during hs ur fine
it depends on your hs
they hate jp stevevns kids rutgers
because a lot of them got caught cheating
so even people with 1430s were getting rejected
well thatās circumstantial Ig?
yeah im doing aviation club and stuff so I think im good. (everyone says its not hard to get into so yeahh)
also im instate so i think im good
Rutgers vs SBU
yepp youll be finee
good luckk
what is cheaper
Is there a Rutgers discord
If both are same
Yep Iāll dm you the link
both are the same exact thing I guess it comes down to personal preference
best nj public vs ny public
can you do the same for me
thanks. the only thing im@worried about is freshman year grades. i got almost all cās cause online school so im worried thats gonna screw up my chances at any half decent school
Sure
lmaoo chill
unis dont care much about freshman grades as long as your other grades are up
some universities clearly state that they dont even wanna look at the freshman grades
so chill
dw much about it
keep the grades up now
thanks
and going test optional shouldnāt be a problem right?
idts
u'll be fine
but if u can take act or sat, take it
and score above a 1400
the math section will get u easy marks
ah alright
