Rutgers University (2023-2024)

[spice elm]

One of my reach unis emailed me smth about my fin aid application

[gentle geode]

no bro

[spice elm]

Oh okay

[gentle geode]

tell me if any intl you know gets in

[spice elm]

They just havent release it yet for intl

Chill bro

[gentle geode]

pretty sure i wouldn’t get in either way

[gentle geode]

did you get a scholarship for umn?

[spice elm]

15k

[gentle geode]

i didn’t get mine yet 😭

[latent mantle]

W

[gentle geode]

they said by march so i can only hope

[spice elm]

Oh you have to get it

[gentle geode]

yeah ik bro

[median phoenix]

Generally

[latent mantle]

Can you double major in the same school at Rutgers?

Nvm

Yay rutgers for having animal science and letting me double major in it 🤩

[coarse stone]

hey i didnt get an email for ru honors and i applied rd, does that mean i was rejected?

[gentle geode]

rejected from ru honors? probably if there are no other waves, rejected from nb? not an indicator

[coarse stone]

oh mb i meant was i rejected from ru honors

[median phoenix]

They all came out at the same time so prob 🥲

[coarse stone]

oh well ig

ty for lmk

[stark frost]

Do these scholarships consider fasfa

Cuz i got no merit but I’m low income enough where my tuition is waived

[floral grove]

In general, depends on the scholarship

Considering that fafsa hasn't been sent to schools yet, I'm guessing no for the ones that have gone out

[median phoenix]

@floral grove did you get any

[floral grove]

Not that I'm aware of

When I went to a college fair, I went to the rutgers table and the person there said that for instate, they don't give out many scholarships

[spice elm]

What about intl

[floral grove]

Mainly cause we are paying instate tuition

[floral grove]

I have no clue

[silk crypt]

instate tuition still kinda expensive without honors/fafsa tbh 😭

online says 15kish but ik kids who are going for 25-30k rn instate

this year was a slap in the face for instate students

[median phoenix]

Right I’m so upset

Esp cuz it’s lit a state uni like ugh

[floral grove]

It's nj

What do you expect

[silk crypt]

not much tbh

i did expect honors to clutch up though

it did not

[median phoenix]

You didn’t get in?

[silk crypt]

nope

tragic

[median phoenix]

Honors college is very competitive so I didn’t even try

But someone got scholarship without getting into honors 😭 I didn’t even know that was possible

[silk crypt]

i had the stats to get in but i dodnt

[silk crypt]

yeah ik shit sucks

[median phoenix]

What about the program?

I heard that’s kinda useless tho

[silk crypt]

sas, and i got waitlisted for engineering

honestly baffled i got waitlisted

[median phoenix]

I got deferred from soe then waitlisted

[silk crypt]

ill probably get in but atp im just going to one of the sunys because they clutched up on scholarships

[median phoenix]

But someone from my school got in with a 3.6 weighted and no sat 💀

Yeah

[silk crypt]

my school the exact opposite

me and my friend both are in the 1500s + upper or average gpa range and got waitlisted

[median phoenix]

Yeah ppl from my school got waitlisted/rejected with way higher stats

[silk crypt]

my friend got into BC

[median phoenix]

Wow that’s crazy

[silk crypt]

i think its probably for yield thinking we wont go but like

[median phoenix]

Yeah prob but still upsetting

[silk crypt]

now that i got no merit or honors i probably wont regardless

[median phoenix]

Yeah I’m waiting for fafsa

[silk crypt]

tuition is going to be insane for instate id rather go oos and experience something new for a similar price

[silk crypt]

my sai was like a 28000 im not getting aid tbh

[median phoenix]

Yeah that’s true it’s around 25k-30k like u said if u dorm

Mine said it couldn’t calculate so I’m gonna have to call them 🥲

Even fafsa was a mess this year

Worst year ever

[silk crypt]

very much so

i feel bad for my siblings feel like college apps is going to get much worse for them 😭

[median phoenix]

Yeah it’s prob gonna get worse now

[spice elm]

Rutgers University–New Brunswick received a record number of applications this year. What unique aspect of yourself have you not revealed in your application that sets you apart from your peers?

does it mean smth related to academics?

or background

lets say kind of a diversity essay

What's that

honors+scholarship appeal

Umm, where i can write that

https://admissions.rutgers.edu/new-brunswick-scholarships

[spice elm]

You write that and send email to them?

nah

it is on the website link i sent

Can intl write it?

ig yes

Thanksss

np

[spice elm]

I think you can write about your characteristics

Academics all reflect in the application

characteristics like background?

culture

nationality

smth interesting about it?

Sthing special about you

Umm i think you can write basically everything execpt academic

it is only 500 char ahahah

[median phoenix]

Let us know how it goes 🙏🙏

[spice elm]

okay bro

[spice elm]

Guys

Make me love rutgers

In case i will go there

[drifting grotto]

are you in-state or out-of-state?

[drifting sleet]

I got 10k in state. What was your stats

[silk crypt]

if you’re in state theres lots to love and hate

if you’re out of state theres more to hate then love

mainly because tuition

youd be better off going to your state school

[latent mantle]

My state school is 44k a year 😭 Rutgers is half

[floral grove]

Nice. My stats were 1520 sat and 4.16 weighted gpa with a lot of extracurriculars

[coarse stone]

wait did they send a rejection email or smth?

[spice elm]

Oos

[spice elm]

It doesnt matter

[spice elm]

Ig they mainly focus on ecs and essays

Since i applied test optional

With one bad grade in the first semester

Without explanation

[gusty turtle]

Oh :-(

[drifting grotto]

Ig what I could say about rutgers is it seems pretty resourceful when i went there on a tour.

So ig thats a good thing

Not a student there so can’t say too much.

[gloomy otter]

Did all the honors college invitations come out

I got into the buisness, arts and sciences, and engineering school, but only got a invitation for arts and sciences

Did the other schools send their invitations out yet or nah

[small barn]

ik engineering did but idk about business

[spice elm]

Idk if it comes out for intl

[silk crypt]

rutgers if its cheaper then lol

[latent mantle]

there's other factors but rutgers certainly wins cost wise unless i get schollys from my state unis

[silk crypt]

whats the state school

[latent mantle]

ucs

[silk crypt]

which ones have you made it to

but yeah lowkey i would prefer rutgers over a uc unless it was ucb/ucla because i hate the thought of living in cali

[latent mantle]

none of them have come out

[latent mantle]

Oh 😭 I love ca

but even in state it's about 40-44k

[silk crypt]

damn

rutgers in state on campus costs about 30k/ out of campus like 20k i think

my familys in the situation where on paper my family makes enough to pay full tuition but they also provide for 8 people

[latent mantle]

not as bad especially if they give schollys

[silk crypt]

i got no scholarships which sucks

[latent mantle]

oh does rutgers not account for that

[latent mantle]

oh no I'm sorry

[silk crypt]

idk yet

fafsas whack

probably not though

[drifting grotto]

If aid isn’t where you need it to be, you should appeal.

[latent mantle]

hopefully you get in somewhere else where its cheaper

[silk crypt]

atm if rutgers doesnt give me enough aid/is too expensive my family would rather me choose an out of state school at that point for a fresh experience

also got lucky with a SUNY that gave me a lot in scholarships so might take that

[latent mantle]

WWW

[arctic fern]

hi

do we need to apply for scholarship separately or we are automatically considered, I am an internation student

[spice elm]

I just appeal for honor and scholarship

When i can receive it

[rigid root]

how do I check my financial aid package?

I got admitted but did not accept enrollment yet

[floral grove]

It hasn't been released yet

And it won't be for another month

Maybe even longer

[rigid root]

ok!

[spice elm]

I got a lot as well

[arctic harness]

financial aid is all messed up this year I wouldn't expect to get it until after March 15

[median phoenix]

Yeah they extended their deadline for fafsa too so it’s prob in April now

[spice elm]

is rutgers good at giving fin aid for oos?

and can I transfer to another school after the first semester?

in my freshman year

[foggy siren]

any ppl get rd decision back?

mine still says "7th Semester Grades Requested" for NB

but ive udpated my srar a while ago

[vestal turtle]

Anybody commited?

[gusty turtle]

Not me

[stone urchin]

New Jersey commit 🥶🥶

[gusty turtle]

Good job!!

[stone urchin]

Going from Cali to NJ 😁

[gusty turtle]

Woahhh do you like New Jersey

[foggy siren]

did u rd?

[stone urchin]

Ye

[stone urchin]

Nah

[gusty turtle]

Wowww

What do you like about nj

[stone urchin]

Nothing

I’m bounded

:(

Gaslighting myself

[gusty turtle]

Oh no 😔

Good luck

Have fun in New Jersey

[stone urchin]

I will

[latent mantle]

🤮

[stone urchin]

?? Mod abuse plz help

[azure lintel]

improvement

[median phoenix]

@opaque crescent u committed?

I’m gonna commit soon

[arctic fern]

any IB students?

[spice elm]

It is a good sign

Just call them

And say that u updated and waiting for your decision

They ll open a case

And post your decision

In 2-4 days

It happened to me

[foggy siren]

New Brunswick doesn’t have a phone number tho

I already emailed NB

[foggy siren]

What exactly did they say?

[spice elm]

They have

[spice elm]

They opened a case

And ao contaced me

Congratulating that i got in

When is admitted students day?

[foggy siren]

Like the deadline?

It’s February 28th

Which is in two days

So that’s why I’m kinda worried

[foggy siren]

Really? The website only had email for NB

Could you slide that phone number over lol

[spice elm]

848-445-4636

[spice elm]

I submitted on a day of the deadline

So no worries

[foggy siren]

yep me too

calling rn

thanks

[drifting grotto]

Rutgers NB likes to gatekeep their contact info

[spice elm]

Got my admitted student package

[median phoenix]

Seems like everyone is getting off of the waitlist now

[spice elm]

Really?

[median phoenix]

Yeah I thought it was in August

[spice elm]

I didnt get off the waitlist for engineering

[arctic harness]

I just got off for business school

[median phoenix]

Same I’m still waiting

[median phoenix]

Did u update ur grades

[arctic harness]

I just sent in my mid-year report

[median phoenix]

I did them 2 days ago but still no change 🥲 I hope I get in

[median phoenix]

One of my friend got off the waitlist for engineering. He’s the only one I know

[arctic harness]

they might be sending them out in waves

[median phoenix]

You got urs today ?

[arctic harness]

yea just 15 mins ago

[spice elm]

Anyone going to open house?

Is there a chance that my chances for honors college will go up after I accept my offer?

[foggy siren]

WTF

still havent gotten mine yet 😢

[foggy siren]

can u explain why its a good sign lol

i need some hope

[median phoenix]

Same bruh I still haven’t

@foggy siren did u get waitlisted?

Or no response at all

[foggy siren]

nono i applied rd

yup

[median phoenix]

Ohh

[foggy siren]

the checklist isnt accurate right

the red checklist on the portal

[arctic harness]

i applied EA so there might be a difference

[median phoenix]

I also applied ea 💔

[arctic harness]

oh😭

[median phoenix]

Wdym

[foggy siren]

mine has a check next to "decision made" but i havent gotten a decision back yet

when i click view status for the campuses

[median phoenix]

Ohh yeah that doesn’t mean anything

[spice elm]

They cant make a decision

So

If ur mid report is not messed up

U r in

[spice elm]

Did u call them?

[median phoenix]

@spice elm did u get off the waitlist yet

[foggy siren]

i think f applied rd

same as me

[foggy siren]

oh like you failed a class right

[foggy siren]

yeah

the guy said just wait for someone to get back to me, since i already emailed them

[spice elm]

I applied ea

Got my decision on February 1 or 2

[median phoenix]

I don’t think I’m getting off the waitlist anytime soon lmao

[spice elm]

Nah

Still in waitlist

[median phoenix]

This sucks

[spice elm]

Ig i do not fit engineering, since my essay and ecs were mainly about cs

[median phoenix]

So many ppl already got it back

😢

[foggy siren]

@spice elm i thought you were admitted

?

[spice elm]

I got into sas

Not engineering

Waitlisted from engineering

[median phoenix]

Same

[spice elm]

U want engineering?

Idk, i am waiting for 10 more schools

Which are better than Rutgers

I did not decide yet

[median phoenix]

Yeah eng is my first choice

[latent mantle]

I got a letter and stickers

[waxen forge]

i got in nb yesterday for rd :p didn’t think id get a decision until next month

[spice elm]

Me too

[spice elm]

guys

is it okay to accept offer and decline if my plans change

?

[gentle geode]

i think you only lose the deposits

[drifting grotto]

i wouldn't lose all hope, chances are you might hear back from them some time in may after many accepted people chooses not to come to rutgers.

even me, im holding out my rutgers acceptance and seeing where i get in for RD, since i applied to like 18 RDs.

im just speculating here, but i think its possible some people just recently heard back because people who were originally accepted got into their ED2 schools, so that might be a possability.

[median phoenix]

Yeah but a lot of ppl heard back that’s why I was worried but honestly it’s whatever atp🥲

[livid cedar]

Hello

[floral grove]

You have time to commit

For rutgers, I don't think there is any advantage to committing early

[spice elm]

Idk if i want to attend RU or UMN

[drifting grotto]

well i THINK the only benefit is like housing priority?

[spice elm]

Yes also you can be free for the remaining time

[drifting grotto]

regardless this is a bad idea to accept an offer and pay your deposit before you are actually mentally committed to go there.

and have RDs come

[floral grove]

Has housing applications opened for rutgers yet?

[boreal tree]

Wait how do u know if u got off the waitlist? Is an email sent out?

[floral grove]

And sometime, colleges let you select housing before commiting

[drifting grotto]

i haven't looked into it, i don't plan on going to rutgers.

[floral grove]

Just have to pay a housing deposit

[drifting grotto]

idek how it actually works ngl

[median phoenix]

Yeah

Not for everyone tho

[boreal tree]

Ok thanks I haven’t gotten an email and I’ve checked on the portal and it still says accepted place on waitlist so I’m def not off it 😦

[median phoenix]

Same lmao

For which school?

[boreal tree]

Business hbu?

R u instate or oos? I’m instate

[median phoenix]

Engineering

Instate

[boreal tree]

Oh nice good luck! Hopefully we’ll get off

[median phoenix]

Yeah hope so too

[spice elm]

I mean

I thought i will get more aid

If i commit earlier

[spice elm]

the weather here is bipolar asf

literally like 30 degrees over the weekend and its back to like 60 today

[spice elm]

im in but idk anyone else whos on conditional admission

like like if youre waitlisted idk if theyd put you on that

[stone urchin]

Better than 120 deg summer fr

[spice elm]

yea but like some years we'll have 100 degree summers and 15 degree winters

idk how it is in cali

[stone urchin]

Hot

[spice elm]

did anyone else get into conditional admission for engineering

ts got me going to school like 3 days after graduation

[foggy siren]

LMAOO

[naive elk]

Holy shit 5 weeks on campus

That’s fucking brutal

[spice elm]

should it even be busy at that time?

[naive elk]

There will be new student orientation going on but they spend the vast majority of the time in the Busch student center

[spice elm]

bro is it like actual classes or what

cant believe im gonna end up doing more schoolwork less than a week after graduation

[spice elm]

Is rutgers better then ubufallo and stony brook?

For cs

[stone urchin]

Yes

[naive elk]

Not sure

[small barn]

yeah u get the easy general education classes out of the way

and they just help u prepare for the college

most people ik who did it liked it

[spice elm]

word

[azure lintel]

word

[spice elm]

lowkey might commit now

admitted day is in like a month for engineering

like the tour date

[small barn]

if u look at SHPE they have a program application rn i think

[azure lintel]

rutgers be spamming me bruh

[small barn]

i did it for the winter program and I stayed there for the weekend and I met with people in the engineering department and i learned from it

[stone urchin]

They want you

[stone urchin]

You should

[spice elm]

i still haven’t visited new brunswick at all tho

like the only other option i’d have is njit

i’ll see after the admitted day

how good are dorms in nb?

[naive elk]

Honestly it depends on what building you get placed in but generally they’re good

[spice elm]

Thanks

[floral grove]

Not that I am aware of

[spice elm]

would there even be an advantage if i did that earlier?

would it just be for housing?

[stone urchin]

Ye, you’d be cool

[latent mantle]

Yeah

There’s no other advantage

If you got into honors college too I mean I wouldn’t commit unless you’re set on Rutgers

[spice elm]

Is it worth appealing for honors college?

[drifting grotto]

If you’re most likely going to commit to Rutgers and would be okay with getting into honors college, then I’d say so.

[spice elm]

Will I be isolated from non honors students?

[drifting grotto]

having never been a student at rutgers, that i don't know.

[livid cedar]

is honors even worth it to apply for

aside from the extra workload and maybe the good housing what are the benefits

i just realized im implying the extra workload is a benefit

its rly not

[foggy siren]

Rd come out today?

Status is still messed up lmao

[next timber]

some ppl are getting off waitlist

anyone get off of it today?

[stone urchin]

Ye

[stone urchin]

I did

[latent mantle]

[spice elm]

R u able to choose ur dorm rn?

[latent mantle]

He’s not going 😭

[median phoenix]

How are ppl getting off of the waitlist

Im still waiting

[spice elm]

💀💀💀💀💀

[gentle geode]

bro this is not even a shitpost

bro actually does advertising like this

[spice elm]

ahahah

is it possible to get full tuition fin aid package as oos?

[pulsar ruin]

Anyone know when RD is supposed to come out? Website says its today

i just dont know what timee!

[dry osprey]

it been out

[pulsar ruin]

what...

mine hasnt appeared

:/

idk what to do

[spice elm]

did they ask for mid year report?

[pulsar ruin]

i dont htink so

idk if my counselor sent them one or not

does that have anything to do with a decision?

[spice elm]

Yeah

They emailed me to update srar

When i applied ea

[spice elm]

its been out for like almost 3 weeks for me

i didnt get the email for it until like a week after the portal updated

[drifting grotto]

it depends, to find that out, i suggest using rutgers' net price calculator, if you have yet to do so.

[pulsar ruin]

oh yea ik some people go ttheir decisions a while back

but i though ttoday was the official day

idk how that works tbh

[spice elm]

is it still under review in the portal

cuz i got newark back like last month

newark finished very early

[spice elm]

Ig it doesnt work

😭😭😭

It is showing 37$k

For 2022-2023 we lived in another country

So the salary was about 10k$

I moved to US in 2023(aug)

[pulsar ruin]

it doesnt even show the its under reviw

😭

[spice elm]

show picture

[pulsar ruin]

yea one sec

Wait i dont think i can send pictyres

Anyways it just has the cheks of the aplicdtion being submitted

And then the review and decision r locked

Just says check back soon for decision

But today woulda been the day 😭

[spice elm]

like if your councilor botched your application idk what you can do now

[solid badge]

rds not out for some ppl ? lol

i got my rolling decision b4 some rd people

[pulsar ruin]

nah i dont think shes botched it

like everyone from my schoool applies to rutgers

she been doing this for years 😭

ima ask tmr to see what i should do tho

if it doesnt come out by then

its just freaking me out

[spice elm]

if you added in your school late then you have to tell your councilor to upload it manually

[pulsar ruin]

this was the first one i added to my common app and first i submitted 😵‍💫

[spice elm]

damn hope it works out for you tho

[pulsar ruin]

yea idk whats going on

thank you

[spice elm]

this year was the most competitive it was

68k apps

[spice elm]

For nb only?

only 35k can attend

[spice elm]

yea i think so

[pulsar ruin]

ikik thats what make it so nervewracking, usually ppl from my school get in but bc of the other ppl that applied its getting more and more questionable

[spice elm]

Sheeeesh

[spice elm]

they can only take so many from each school tho

theres like 180 ppl that applied from my school this year and we got like 250 in my class

[median phoenix]

Yeah like 200 ppl from my school applied

[silk crypt]

estimated cost while instate

while also choosing to live at home

tragic

pretty sure freshman have to live on campus first year so if i went shit would be like 40kish first year with dorm costs

[latent mantle]

Where did you find this

[gentle geode]

are you a citizen tho?

[gentle geode]

wait huh?

[spice elm]

Permanent resident

[gentle geode]

isn’t it 18k for tuition

[gentle geode]

idk if rutgers is good at giving aid tho

like all state schools

stingy af

[silk crypt]

the calc

like the rutgers calc

it added indirect costs

which in general is usually a correct estimate

its like 18k with no indirect costs

it overestimated my efc by like 4k so rutty would be like 27k then

but still a lot for instate and atp id rather just go somewhere else

[gentle geode]

where will you go bro

also 31k im pretty sure is an estimate for living outside campus not at home

can you show me the breakdown

[silk crypt]

the sunys gave me a metric ton in scholarships/same with penn state

[gentle geode]

penn state gives actual aid?

or schollys whatever

[silk crypt]

scholarship

im most definitely not getting aid

from fafsa

or if any very minimal

im going to guess that random 5.5k is food costs

[gentle geode]

FOOD AND HOUSING??

and tf is other expenses

in that case oos should be 60k no?

[silk crypt]

prolly lol

idk what oos costs are like

still 25k for rutgers is meh if i could go to an out of state school for 30k and get a new experience at a similar if not better ranked engineering school id take that

[gentle geode]

how’s the location for university park tho

[silk crypt]

idk if im going to penn state probably choosing stony brook or binghamton

[gentle geode]

i looked at career outcomes and psu’s was ass

[gentle geode]

stony brook prolly is better

[silk crypt]

penn state gave me a lot of aid but still is expensive as fuck for an oos applicant so bing and stony are the closest to rutgers pricing

yeah ik stony is better but honestly i might choose bing over stony

bing campus actually felt alive and felt like a place i wanted to be at stony not so much

also ive heard wayyy too many negative reviews on class sizing/just general administration at stony

[gentle geode]

wait what’s your major again?

[silk crypt]

mechanical engineering

[gentle geode]

did you apply to purdue?

[silk crypt]

rejected from SOE and accepted for 2nd choice of finance 😭

[gentle geode]

damn bro

at least you had a decision

[gentle geode]

any rd’s you’re waiting for?

[silk crypt]

ivys and a jhu ed deferral

not really confident atp though

[latent mantle]

Ohh

[spice elm]

Purdue is hard as fuk

Esp cs and meche

[gentle geode]

I HATE PURDUE bro

it’s the stupidest school (i got deferred and can’t take it)

[spice elm]

++

Rutgers🔥

[gentle geode]

(i didn’t get into honors) I FUCKING HATE RUTGERS

pls gib me scholarship 👉 👈

[stone urchin]

Same

[arctic fern]

hey did you hear back from rutgurs

[livid cedar]

for acceptances? yeah i applied EA so i got my decision back on feb 1st

[late crag]

I just got off the waitlist at nb

Literally this morning

[spice elm]

but aren’t you a junior wtf

[late crag]

I literally just didn’t update my role it’s not that deep

[boreal tree]

Have a lot of ppl gotten off the waitlist for the business school in particular?

[late crag]

Idk, I only got off for engineering and sas, still on it for buisness

[median phoenix]

U got into engineering? @late crag

How have all of you gotten decisions already but not me 😦 I’ve applied on time

[late crag]

Yea but idk if I’m gonna go to Rutgers

[median phoenix]

Did u update ur grades

[late crag]

Yea like literally right after I got my decision

[pulsar ruin]

Call

Them

!

Gosh i applied RD and i called earlier turns out a transcript was cancelled? Idek what happened, but they said they were going to get back to me thru email in a couple days

Maybe ur app@is incomplete and they just didnt tell u 🫠

[lavish estuary]

Yo so I just called, and you're right there were some technical issues with my profile. It's not a mistake on my end because they received the transcripts but the system is just not registering it--so crazy that its impacted my decisions because of this 😭

Screaming crying throwing up

[pulsar ruin]

wait how did it impact ur decision

what happened

arent they going to fix it

?!

[lavish estuary]

They can't proceed with a decision because atm its marked as incomplete, the technical issue seems to be around uploading my transcript into the portal, there's been a case opened since early Feb but its unsolved until now

[pulsar ruin]

i was told that they dont review it bc application is considered incomplete

[lavish estuary]

Sobbing bro

[pulsar ruin]

god

i thought it was just me

[lavish estuary]

Wait so they withdrew your app?

[pulsar ruin]

and that maybe my counselor made an issue

[pulsar ruin]

no no

the portal says my app is still active

[lavish estuary]

Did you just get an email from them saying to get this done by March 15 btw

[pulsar ruin]

just that they said that its prob not been reviewed yet bc its incomplete

[lavish estuary]

or it'll be withdrawn

[pulsar ruin]

i got neither

no email

[lavish estuary]

Damn ok

They need to get their stuff together omg

[pulsar ruin]

waht did urs say

FR

LIKE THIS IS MY GOAL

i need to get in at least

aint no way they automatically reject u bc of smt that was their fault

[lavish estuary]

It just says this:

Thank you for your interest in Rutgers-Newark. As we look to finalize our fall 2024 cohort, we noticed some items required for review may be missing from your application. Please log in to your Rutgers Application Portal to view your checklist.

All required documents must be received no later than March 15, 2024. Applications remaining incomplete after this date will be withdrawn from consideration for fall 2024.

[pulsar ruin]

😭

ahhhh ok

[lavish estuary]

I did both Newark and NB so

[pulsar ruin]

well u can still fix ig still

ohh

did it show it was missing in the checklist of the portal

[lavish estuary]

Yeap, but when I called back in January they said they received all my emails (and the docs), and was able to name the contents of the email

That's why I was like oh ok its done

[pulsar ruin]

ahhHHHHHH

[lavish estuary]

Sobbing rn

But its ok we got this

[vestal turtle]

You got it

[lavish estuary]

[soft sage]

me and 61, we got it yesterday

[spice elm]

did anyone else get into the engineers of the future conditional admissions program?

i still havent heard of anyone ride with it yet

[late crag]

Ik this has been asked here a ton, but if I got accepted to a school at Rutgers, can I just choose any major i want or do I have to do the major I applied for?

[naive elk]

You’re applying for the school not the major you don’t actually declare a major at the earliest spring semester of your freshman year. That being said if you wanted to switch to a major that’s in another school then you would have to transfer to that school

[turbid jetty]

can you go from undeclared to cs in sas?

[naive elk]

Yeah that’s pretty much what you’ll do you come in as officially undeclared but you do know what you want to major in you can take courses that start to fulfill the major requirements

[cerulean wren]

Do you guys know if rutgers is good for poli sci

[drifting grotto]

New Brunswick is actually #2.

at least according to the Niche list

and obv princeton tops it all

[spice elm]

word

[drifting grotto]

i also know rutgers has a program where you can intern in dc and they'll support your internship

https://externalaffairs.rutgers.edu/scarlet-service-dc

[spice elm]

@cerulean wren my friend is studying pre law at nb for honors college new brunswick

if you got specific questions i can prob ask

if anything she currently likes it there rn

[turbid jetty]

okay thanks, thats pretty reassuring

sick of looking at waitlisted

[median phoenix]

Same

[gentle geode]

it will get better bro trust

[crude gorge]

when does ru pharm come out

[late crag]

dw if i got off the waitlist in late feb, you'll definitely get off at some point

[torn iris]

[spice elm]

real talk hwo good is this school for cs

is it hard to get into

[hard root]

t40

pretty tough especially this year since it’s their first year on the common app

lots of instate kids got denied or waitlisted

[waxen forge]

i thought it was pretty easy considering i got in for cs and im out of state, test optional and 3.4w 🌚

[spice elm]

i thought it was pretty easy ngl

i’ve taken one coding course and that was it

engineering is more selective than cs i think

[small barn]

a lot more selective

ik lot of people who got into SaS but reject from engineer

[spice elm]

I got into cs

And yea it seemed pretty easy to get in

The rankings say it’s like a top 40 school

But idk if that’s really true

[floral grove]

Cause cs is in sas

If it was in engineering, it would not be as easy

[spice elm]

I got into engineering as well

But that was my second choice

[vagrant rivet]

When does HC come out

If I haven’t gotten a notification does that mean I didn’t get in

[floral grove]

It already came out

I'm not sure if they are still sending stuff out

[grim vigil]

its t50

check undergrad cs rankings

[livid cedar]

when are scholarships coming out ffs

i need the monee

[hard root]

I got merit from Newark already

[livid cedar]

doesnt merit also come out in march

[livid cedar]

email?

when didja get it

[hard root]

it is march

[hard root]

nah text message and it was in my portal

[livid cedar]

I KNOW SO WHERE IS THE AIDDD

[livid cedar]

i gotta go

check

something

👀

[vagrant rivet]

Bro I haven’t gotten any merit ethier

[drifting grotto]

FAFSA hasn't been released yet to colleges.

[vagrant rivet]

I think he means merit aid

[hard root]

^

[drifting grotto]

oh

then idk

Idk if this helps, but when i check my portal it says this: "All Rutgers–New Brunswick students receiving merit-based scholarships will be notified via email no later than March 1, 2024. Those awards will not appear in this view. Please visit our New Brunswick scholarships webpage for more information. Both non-need and need-based awards will also appear on your financial aid student portal when need-based awards are released. We recommend all eligible students submit a FAFSA or NJAFAA for full consideration for all available aid."

[livid cedar]

yeah i couldnt find any merit aid on my portal or my email

its over

[spice elm]

i meant overall

Its areoung a t40

[spice elm]

i only got one for newark and not nb

nb still cheaper than newark with the scholarship i got

[spice elm]

Got off the waitlist for rutgers nb engineering

[slate oyster]

congrats!

[median phoenix]

@spice elm did u get an email

[spice elm]

Yep

You have been admitted to an additional school choice at Rutgers–New Brunswick! This means there are MORE choices and opportunities that await you as a Scarlet Knight. Visit your Application Portal for specific information about your admission and important details about your enrollment.

[median phoenix]

That’s great!!!

I still haven’t received anything

Prob cuz I kinda committed I just didn’t pay the enrollment

Few

Fee*

[torn iris]

nice W

[spice elm]

no shot im like the only one in here thats in conditional admittance for engineering

[floral grove]

What do you mean by conditional admittance

[spice elm]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/789336009929523242/1204991351922622484/image.png?ex=65fba8a5&is=65e933a5&hm=1f5e227675a04e435400d6d123e3a8944e6e301f42316d89c8203fd64558541b&

ive looked for other ppl that have attended this and found nothing

one of my friends got it too but he doesnt wanna enroll bec of it

[small barn]

i got the same thing

did u do EOF?

[spice elm]

nah

thats why im confused

[small barn]

damn

[spice elm]

and my friend that applied for EOF got too lazy to fill out the form and he didnt get ts

doesnt make any sense

[small barn]

cause ik for EOF if u do the engineer of future program they cover your tuition and more

do u get any of that from the condition program

[spice elm]

idek if i should ask if its a mistake or that they think im just not at the bar

[spice elm]

not that ik of cuz i only got 3k merit for newark

[small barn]

i see

i thought the program was only for eof people

[spice elm]

thats what i thought too

[small barn]

and they usually make u take gen eds courses and stuff so freshman year is easier

[spice elm]

that doesnt make sense either cuz i had like straight As or Bs in all my core classes

and they were all honors

[floral grove]

Interesting

Do they make people do the program based on the high school they went to?

[spice elm]

that makes even less sense because my school is a STEM school

it even has STEM in the name

ive taken 4 years of CTE engineering courses

[floral grove]

Damn

That's strange then

For why rutgers is making you do it

You should call them

Or ask you guidance counselor if they know about it

[spice elm]

im just scared if i question their decision bec it could be the one thing keeping my application in

[small barn]

just ask

not like they gonna reject u for asking

[spice elm]

it might be cuz i sent in my sat score and im below it

even tho me and my other friend had similar stats and he didnt send his score in and he didnt get offered it

[spice elm]

true ill email them today or something

where do i email

[small barn]

idk

[small barn]

they gave u a number tho

[spice elm]

should i email this guy back or my admissions counselor

[small barn]

idk

[spice elm]

i called and bro was not there

[spice elm]

Anyone got scholarship appeal response?

I mean did anyone get after appealing

[glacial prism]

.

[spice elm]

I dont receive anything

[small barn]

[orchid copper]

ik one wave came out in feb and they say on the website you should know by march

but looks like they aint saying anything 😭

[gentle geode]

it’s over bro

we didn’t get in

[small barn]

i tho it was only honors program

its over

[orchid copper]

damn gg

shit was gonna be my top choice if i didnt get into reaches

now im cooked

[gentle geode]

14 mins left

[orchid copper]

nah unfortunately not

[gentle geode]

me neither lmao

[spice elm]

I got waitlisted from mit

[restive mist]

Congratulations! That's still one hell of an accomplishment to be waitlisted.

Hell, I got waitlisted from Rurgers-NB, so looks like you are doing well (hopefully)

[spice elm]

Omg insane

[grim geode]

dumb question, but is fasfa form due 3/15 midnight or just 3/15? i had some personal matters come up and competely forgot about it, dumb ik

[spice elm]

hopefully

they just waitlisted me for diversity purposes ig lol

cuz i am from a country where not a lot of ppl apply to mit

[spice elm]

Any fafsa updates?

[drifting grotto]

Some people's FAFSA got processed on march 15th

like mine

[spice elm]

Oh

I accepted my offer for nb🔥

[spice elm]

When will we get our fin aid package?

[drifting grotto]

oh, that i don't know

[spice elm]

Did u get an email after your fafsa was processed?

[drifting grotto]

No, i just logged into my fafsa account

[heady owl]

am i supposed to create a netID after receiving status update

im so confused

[drifting grotto]

i think you receive one via email

or like you'll receive an email to create one

[heady owl]

it says it on the communityid portal

so idk

am i not suppose to create one

im so lost rn

[drifting grotto]

for me, i got an email telling me to create one

so i did

[heady owl]

hmm

i dont think i ever got one

but i accidentally made an net-id despite not indicating to enroll

🤡

so idk what to do now

[drifting grotto]

it doesn't hurt to check with the admissions office

[spice elm]

Idt you make it only if you want to enroll

Bc the portal says you use netid for checking fin aid

[livid cedar]

dont you get an email when you are awarded financial aid

or do i have to make a NetID

i was gonna make one only if i decided to enroll

[spice elm]

“NetID Activation
Remember to activate your NetID, which is used to view financial aid information as well as to access your myRutgers dashboard to track your enrollment.”

What the dashboard says

I mean i made it but i havent enrolled

Or decided to

[light talon]

accepted for Psychology, waitlisted for Finance, how difficult is accepting psych now and moving into Finance

is it even possible?

[next timber]

u can

[rigid root]

Rutgers Financial aid info isn't out right? Since they only require FAFSA

[spice elm]

Yep

[rigid root]

WHAAAAAAT

why does it say FAFSA 2023-2024?

[median phoenix]

Mine says that too

[livid cedar]

because you completed it in 2023-2024?

[rigid root]

nope

I submitted it 2024-2025

does anyone else have the same situation?

[spice elm]

Thats what it says as well

23-24

Its prob a mistake

[heady owl]

I also have 23-24

[spice elm]

Anyone got their fin aid package?

[spice elm]

nah

[floral grove]

Give it a few weeks

Since fafsa was just sent out

[spice elm]

is anyone going to the engineering admitted day this friday?

[floral grove]

Nope

I honestly had no clue that was happening

[heady owl]

Me

Im oos too so i wouldnt be going

[spice elm]

you could prob still sign up

[floral grove]

Don't feel like going ngl

[naive elk]

Yeah it’s not worth it it’s just a regular campus tour with extra information

[spice elm]

ive still never been to rutgers nb

[median phoenix]

Same

[median phoenix]

Is open house the same thing

[spice elm]

prob not since the engineering admitted day seems to only stay on busch campus

[naive elk]

Mhm although I’d say that you can see what a dorm looks like when you go then if that interests you

[torn iris]

i’ve got off the waitlist

🙏

[light talon]

which major /School?

[livid cedar]

ayyyy

congrats

[round crow]

same got off waitlist a few days ago for the environmental and business econ program

[torn iris]

SEBS/Biochem

[torn iris]

thank you

[spice elm]

i found out the other stuff the conditional admission program was

like you said it lets us take gen ed’s so we can retake the placement exam and skip core classes in freshman year

[small barn]

wait wdym by retake the placement exam

and do u know what gen eds

cuz for gen eds I heard like calc 1 and stuff but i alr took that so that doesn't seem worth tbh

[spice elm]

idek what gen eds they just kept it general

but aside from that the 5 weeks also gives out a research project like a mini capstone

like build something to solve irl problem and present it to students and faculty by the end of the program

the student ambassador that told me about all of it took it in remote learning somehow so it wasnt much help in that case

but he said that his upperclassmen that took it found it extremely easy

[small barn]

i see

i’ll look more into it next week if i get rejected from other schools lmao

watch out for the RU Screw

[gusty turtle]

I will I will

[small barn]

yeah i asked another dude about it and they pretty much said the same thing

seems pretty good ngl

[spice elm]

yea it honestly felt kinda demeaning when i first got it with not much explanation

it’s like a niche tier below honors with the benefits we’re getting

[small barn]

true

[small barn]

but i did know some guys that did eof that went to honors too

but idk if they did it as high school senior or rutgers freshman bc i still think u can apply as a freshman

[spice elm]

i don’t know why rutgers named the program “eof” when it doesn’t really have anything to do with federal eof

my fafsa sai makes it impossible for me to get eof anywhere

[drifting grotto]

How do I decline my acceptance to Rutgers NB?

[small barn]

when u click on ENROLL NOW you can either accept or decline the offer

[drifting grotto]

Alright

Thank you

[small barn]

do u know if it’s too late to get rid of EOF if it’s conditional admission

idt it’s something i wanna do ngl

[spice elm]

i don’t know but I have one of the soe ambassadors contacts if you want

[spice elm]

“eof federal” or the eof summer program?

[small barn]

the summer program

[small barn]

yes please

[spice elm]

i’ll send in dms

when do we get of fiaid package??

[spice elm]

is it not open already?

[limpid sage]

Don't know

I haven't committed yet due to financial reasons

[spice elm]

idk if they’ll release it yet cuz a lot of ppl have signature errors with their fafsa and the form won’t even let them fix it yet

idk if they’ll release the packages in waves for those that have it ready or all in one go

[spice elm]

does anyone know if we have to declare a minor when committing or is that some thing we decide end of freshman year?

[small barn]

usually people do it in sophomore

[tender needle]

Anyone got an appeal decision back from rutgers nb?

[rigid root]

I haven't gotten my finaid package yet
