If I still haven’t gotten off the Rutgers waitlist yet for the business school, it means I won’t be getting off anytime soon right?

#

Bc ik ppl have already gotten off rutgers waitlist but I haven’t yet so I’m guessing they’re not gonna take me off it...

#

depends on your major

#

plus often times space opens up after everyone enrolls or declines their offer, as not everyone who is admitted will accept

floral grove
#

Also, people get in to rutgers for multiple schools

#

So a bunch of open spots will be coming from that

tender needle
#

I got into all three choices and committed to sas

#

How competitive the admissions for rutgers was this year?

spice elm
#

idk they explain it on your school’s admitted day

#

when i went they said 17k applied for soe

#

60% increase from last year

#

median phoenix
#

Cuz there’s gonna be a lot of ppl 💀

#

Oooo nice

naive elk
#

Yeah I think it’s like $10 to get in and it’s all you can eat

#

||plus they’ll have fresh food to impress y’all||

peak elk
#

how good is the food in general lol

#

also I checked the app and the dining hall is 15 dollars wtf

#

inflation

naive elk
peak elk

Livi is my favorite dining hall cause of the burger bar

median phoenix

naive elk
#

peak elk
#

livid cedar
#

do you owe someone 2 dollars

peak elk
#

I actually owe 4 people 50 cents from a March madness bracket

livid cedar
#

torn iris
#

#

If I drop a couple Cs senior year, am I gonna get rescinded or am I fine

spice elm
#

and if it’s not a significant drop in your gpa

#

like it’s bad if your gpa drops a whole point or two

late crag
spice elm
#

yea you should be fine

#

but this is coming from another senior who’s just looked at reddit posts

#

if you’re worried about this for rutgers you should be fine

small barn
#

oh man

#

my shit drop like a whole point

#

from 4 to 3 something

spice elm
#

for soe it might be bad

#

my school is on a 4.5 scale so i can’t really measure how much mine dropped without weighing everything out

grim geode
#

will there be any more open campus visits for nb?

small barn
#

any info on when rutgers financials coming out

spice elm
#

what is the deadline to commit to rutgers?

pulsar ruin

spice elm

grim geode
#

how do rutgers self guided tours work, if anyone had done them?

spice elm
livid cedar
#

Why is Rutgers consistently late for everything tf

dry osprey
#

thats not even late

#

schools moved it back this year cause fafsa is late

livid cedar
#

rutgers is a lot bigger but they also have more resources and id imagine more financial aid officers to help process financial aid

#

i literally cant commit until i know what my financial aid package looks like but it seems like by the time i do know, im gonna miss the purdue deadline

#

this years college application process was such a mess across the board

spice elm
#

fr

spice elm
#

they’re gonna take so much longer than private schools

torn iris
#

40k is alr since u just usually need 500 trophies on every brawler

Pro Palestinian protests

Basically a milder version of what’s happening in Columbia

small barn
#

as long as it don’t affect me

tender needle
#

People should know how palestians are suffering

livid cedar

politics isnt allowed on this server but i think a social movement like this gets a pass

naive elk

#

dawg columbia isnt even gonna have graduation and their entire campus is closed basically

#

anything could be milder than that

Winters used to be worse but now they are not bad. From December to Feb, you will wake up and it will be 30 degrees and then the temp will go up to the 40s

How do you see the fin aid package?

small barn

median phoenix
#

Yeah they didn’t even send an email about it

livid cedar
#

the rutgers financial aid portal is so bad. thank God i did some clicking around and actually found my award letter, because the portal is so misleading in what it says

#

@floral grove @median phoenix and anyone else who hasnt apparently received financial aid: try going to myrutgers, then go to the "My Financial Aid" subsection and go to the Award tab. for me it says "no award data", but just press on "click here for more information" and itll take you to a DIFFERENT portal.
from there, once youve logged in, click on the "messages" tab in the top right, then see if you were given an award letter or not

#

i dont know why rutgers made it so convoluted because i also didnt get an email about this. but regardless.

median phoenix
#

Yeah I found mine like 2 days ago but it’s so weird how they didn’t send an email
