Rutgers University (2024-2025)

[jovial skiff]

idk how much it'll cost for me

[foggy river]

53 but yeah

[jovial skiff]

idk

[mortal beacon]

effective coa is 60k

[jovial skiff]

I'm not fully certain on everything

[waxen tulip]

did u get into rice?

[thick cedar]

i think you should choose rbs tbh

[jovial skiff]

I have to fully research my top schools

[thick cedar]

yeah do that

[foggy river]

manifesting

[thick cedar]

there’s also literally nothing in ohio

[foggy river]

oh

[jovial skiff]

true tho

[thick cedar]

ur gonna be so bored

also way more diversity at rutgers

[jovial skiff]

I have friends committing to nyu so if I go to Rutgers I can meet up with them in NYC over the weekend or smthing idk

[waxen tulip]

also the business school is rlly nice and livi is my favorite place on campus, it’s like the most aesthetically pleasing

[foggy river]

whats even there in columbus bro

[jovial skiff]

oh shit that's true I'm asian

[waxen tulip]

exactly

[thick cedar]

yeah ohio you’ll get hate crimed on the streets

LMFAOOO

[foggy river]

osu has 40k tuition

same as rutgers

[foggy river]

everything happens in ohio

[jovial skiff]

we'll see tmr

[jovial skiff]

I'm not worried abt this stuff too much now since I got RBS locked in

[thick cedar]

can’t relate

imagine i get into unc tmrw while being waitlisted for rutgers

wouldn’t that be hilarious and prove how real the ruscrew is 💀💀💀

[jovial skiff]

lmfao 💀

[wind orbit]

Nice

[mortal beacon]

YO WTF

I GOT IN TOO?

I APPLIED RD BRUH

[wind orbit]

I applied for new brunswick

Does it not state CAMDEN - or the other one if it’s new brunswick

[mortal beacon]

Wdym

[wind orbit]

I made sure to select that they didn’t enroll me in Camden or Newark

New brunswick is apparently the main campus and is the best

Check directly, I didn’t get an email notice

There we go

[mortal beacon]

Same

i got notice for the other 2

[mental plinth]

Tf

[wind orbit]

?

[mental plinth]

Oookay?..

Which campus

[wind orbit]

Click my applications

[mental plinth]

Oh

Hmm

I don’t understand

I

What

[wind orbit]

Congrats you got into nb it’s the main campus

[mental plinth]

I’m salty
Why is it not umn MAN

I’d love to trade for umn

[wind orbit]

Why do you want umn so bad

Lmao

[mental plinth]

I have friends there
Uncle
And I know a professor

[wind orbit]

Oh rip

Umn came back for me hella fast

[mental plinth]

Mixed feeling

[wind orbit]

They’re fast with it, good inner workings

[mental plinth]

[hollow igloo]

am i the only one to get waitlisted here apart from @thick cedar

[mental plinth]

Currently yes

[mortal beacon]

waitlisted in ea?

[hollow igloo]

Yeah 😭

[narrow quarry]

you have to wait a little bit

when I got into newark it didn’t let me for a day or two

[upper raven]

How is my friend already in Rutgers RD? 💀

[jovial skiff]

isn't RD basically rolling

[upper raven]

it is??

i didnt know that

[jovial skiff]

idk

rutgers admissions is hella random

i had friends get into rutgers EA 1 month early

i got in this morning

[upper raven]

i realized rutgers had no essays and submitted rd 5 minutes before the deadline (this is not an exaggeration, i can show you the time at which i got the payment completed email)

[upper raven]

zamn

[jovial skiff]

😭

i submitted umn 2 minutes before the deadline

wrote the supp 5 minutes before

[upper raven]

SODA

[jovial skiff]

still got in anyways idk how

[upper raven]

https://tenor.com/view/soda-gif-8026056502744469335

[jovial skiff]

what's your dream school

[upper raven]

yale

rn

[jovial skiff]

damn

rutgers was my reach 💀 got in tho so im chilling

[upper raven]

nice

@jovial skiff would you do rutgers over osu

[jovial skiff]

maybe

perhaps

honestly i gotta think about it

i had osu as my top choice for a long ahh time but once some of my acceptances started rolling in i realized there's colleges other than osu that are goated so idk

like now that i mull it over what really made me like osu in the first place anyways

rutgers is pretty goated

so yeah idk

i have to think about it

[mental plinth]

[jovial skiff]

you'll be fine without umn i promise

we all gonna be fine wherever we go

[mental plinth]

I’m very salty about umn
I don’t understand

[jovial skiff]

im lowkey salty over umn too why cla 💀 i wanted carlson bruh

[narrow quarry]

osu is better if costs don’t matter

trust

[jovial skiff]

what makes u say that

[narrow quarry]

i think academics r better for the most part

[mental plinth]

Osu sure is good
I’m not sure about business though

[narrow quarry]

better campus

sports

[mental plinth]

Osu is like top 20 for engineering

[jovial skiff]

osu is better for business

[mental plinth]

[mental plinth]

Tmr will be awesome
Trust

[narrow quarry]

praying it is man

[mental plinth]

[narrow quarry]

it has to make up for Rutgers

[jovial skiff]

is it actually tho

[narrow quarry]

what’s your major?

[jovial skiff]

accounting

[narrow quarry]

hmmm

have you checked any rankings

[jovial skiff]

i think generally fisher college of business ranks higher than RBS

for undergrad osu ranks 17 while rutgers ranks 70 lmao

[narrow quarry]

if it’s close in rankings I’d just forget abt that and choose what school you like more besides the rankings

if they’re so close

oh wtf

i thought it would be a bit closer than that

[jovial skiff]

well undergrad rankings are pretty unreliable tbh

it says fordham is like 84 and cuny baruch is 70 but those 2 r amazing for business

since they're in nyc

good job placement/internship type shit

[narrow quarry]

yeah Rutgers proximity to nyc and philly is a plus

that’s a benefit of Rutgers

ohio state is in a pretty big city with opportunity too but Rutgers def takes that category

gosh I rly want to get into ohio state I can’t even sleep

[jovial skiff]

lmao

after getting into rutgers i dont really care

i feel like the differences between rutgers and osu are reasonably negligible

the only difference is some random ranking

but realistically i dont think it will change the trajectory of my career

they r both great schools

at this point it's boiling down to my personal preference

idk what to choose

ive never been to rutgers or osu campus so idk

[jovial skiff]

are you instate or oos for osu

[narrow quarry]

oos

😢

[jovial skiff]

which state are u in

[narrow quarry]

nj

[jovial skiff]

oh what 😭

[narrow quarry]

im cooked

[jovial skiff]

you got deferred from your own state school

[narrow quarry]

yes

[jovial skiff]

tragic

[narrow quarry]

somehow

[jovial skiff]

what r your stats

[narrow quarry]

like 3.5 test optional 😭

[jovial skiff]

tbh if i were you if you get into rutgers id pick rutgers over osu for the money

[narrow quarry]

my only ec is working since the end of freshman year

[jovial skiff]

im 3.25 test optional

[narrow quarry]

yes this was def the plan but

💔💔

[jovial skiff]

you'll get in RD trust

[narrow quarry]

now i need to wait for reg decision

thankfully my grades r good rn

hoping my updated grades help out

[jovial skiff]

that's prolly why i got in and you got deferred even tho im intl with lower gpa

i have pretty strong ecs and essay

[narrow quarry]

i literally had a bad freshman year that’s it

yeah my ecs r kinda mid

but I never had time I had to work😭

[jovial skiff]

my freshman and sophomore yr were garbage but i clutched up junior and senior yr

[narrow quarry]

freshman I had a 2.9 or something 💀

[jovial skiff]

same ong

[narrow quarry]

but combined sophomore-junior I have like a 3.7 or 8

[jovial skiff]

i went from
3.0 -> 3.1 -> 3.55 -> 3.72

yummy upward trend AOs eat that shit up

[narrow quarry]

that’s really good improvement

i thought my upward trend would help but

i guess it didn’t?

[jovial skiff]

mine helped a lot for sure

i only have one rejection out of like 9 decisions so far

accepted
ASU
Pitt
MSU
SJSU
UMN
Rutgers

deferred
UTK
CU Boulder

rejected
UGA

fuck uga all my homies hate uga

[jovial skiff]

lock in 🔒 you'll get in RD for sure

at least you didnt get waitlisted like that instate guy with a 3.94 😭 that's the most tragic one ive heard so far

rutgers got way more competitive this year bc it was added to common app

[mental plinth]

UGA is tough
So its fine man

[narrow quarry]

Pitt asked for my mid year grades

[jovial skiff]

tf

pitt didn't ask me

[mental plinth]

Email them
Send them the midterm with the mail

Just make sure ao see your reports

By waitlisted
They mean defer right?

Honestly you should contact your counselor

Waitlist… huh

Loci?

I don’t see anything wrong with that
Go with admission office though
Professors?

But.. I don’t think they are the ones who decide the admission

[foggy river]

did u know them before?

or did u work with them before

the only way

u can ask professors to like vouch u or smthin is their lor

well

sure

u can ask him/her to write a lor

abt u

i guess

oh then idk

[opal egret]

rutgers dub

i got into

both schools i applied to

for some reason

cas and coe

[mental plinth]

Got in?

[opal egret]

yea

how do i check scholly

@mental plinth

[mental plinth]

Activate netid

There should be a financial aid portal

[opal egret]

how do i

i put in ruid

and it's not letting me activate it

i dont have an ssn obv cuz im intl

[mental plinth]

Wha

Idk how i did it
Lemme check

[jovial skiff]

same

[opal egret]

bro apparently

[jovial skiff]

some guy said to wait for Rutgers to email you

[opal egret]

yeah

i was gonna say that

💀

how long ts gonna take

@jovial skiff did u get honors

i didnt apply

[jovial skiff]

no lmfao I'm lucky enough to even get admitted into Rutgers 💀

[opal egret]

rutgers business is competitive right

i got into eng

[jovial skiff]

rutgers didn't even send email for status update I wouldn't be confident that they're fast 😭

[jovial skiff]

yeah kinda

[opal egret]

these mfers admitted me to both majors

😭

[jovial skiff]

same

[safe geyser]

i got mine back yesterday and i submitted like a month after rd deadline 😭

[upper raven]

a month AFTER DEADLINE? WHAT

how desperate are they

[safe geyser]

they want me bad

fr

[safe geyser]

(they prob just have an academic perf metric and my act score got me up there)

[upper raven]

what's your act

[opal egret]

rutgers has rolling after rd

the acceptance rate is 35% this year

[upper raven]

oh

[opal egret]

it was 65% in 2023

or something like that

2024 they added it to common app

dropped to 43%

then dropped another 8% this year

now im wondering

how cooked would mit be if it was on common app

[upper raven]

LOL

probably lower numbers than caltech

[opal egret]

yea i think tech is heavily inflated

[rose thistle]

anybody else still "under review"?

i'm still waiting for engineering (first choice)

[opal egret]

idk

i've seen some ppl like that

@rose thistle did you apply ea or rd

[rose thistle]

ea

i heard back from 4/5

2 of them yesterday

[opal egret]

idk then

maybe wait a few days

and see

[rose thistle]

hm ok

[opal egret]

because i think officially the date is 31st

[rigid lynx]

Idt that helps

At all

[jovial skiff]

bro's down bad for rutgers 😭

[mental plinth]

Even lower for engineering

Not to mention that 35% is other campus combined

For nb its tough

[opal egret]

damn

[opal egret]

im honestly confused

how is this so high if the overall AR is 35%

[narrow quarry]

I’m the one deferral 🥹

[opal egret]

??? this is UF

bro this server has serious sampling bias

ig

but, the threads for purdue and stuff generally reflect the overall AR

so i dont know

the sample size is bigger but still

[umbral atlas]

meh it depends not everyone is here

I saw many rejections that aren’t here on discord

[honest thorn]

sampling bias

[honest thorn]

yeah same

[umbral atlas]

also this server is kinda full of try hards imo no normal person applying to college would be here idk

[opal egret]

im aware but the sampling bias is only present for some schools

[umbral atlas]

very little

[opal egret]

like purdue is the same as the actual AR

50% got in

[umbral atlas]

and maybe some don’t wanna report their negative result ig

[opal egret]

ik but 35% is cooked

and that's considering newark and camden

[honest thorn]

correlation is not causation sir

[opal egret]

like i would expect a lot of ppl here even to be rejected

even tho everyone here has decent stats at the very minimum

[umbral atlas]

I don’t actually believe it’s 35% acceptance rate I need to see it to believe it when stats come out

[safe geyser]

This server is highly, highly self selecting. Combined with the fact that this channel itself is also highly self selecting.

[opal egret]

it was 43% last year

[formal lily]

yeah idk i don't feel its ac a 35% lok

[honest thorn]

same last year it was pretty low but not 35% low

CS can be very low tho

[opal egret]

the last time they released cds was 2023

[safe geyser]

i mean 35% makes sense for nv

[honest thorn]

yeah

[opal egret]

which was before common app

[safe geyser]

nb

[opal egret]

bro 43 to 35 is a small dip

[safe geyser]

idk abt the rest of the campuses tho

[formal lily]

rutgers joins the ivy league when

[honest thorn]

yea after common app there's a 90% increase in apps

[opal egret]

they didnt increase capacity

we know that fs

[formal lily]

rutgers replaces pton

[honest thorn]

yield rate gonna fall too

[opal egret]

the yield rate was alr very low

[formal lily]

90% is crazy what

[opal egret]

unless it becomes like 5% the ar definitely dropped by quite a bit

[safe geyser]

35% is predicted acceptance for the entire university(camden and newark) which was like 66% or smth last year

[opal egret]

it wasn't 66%

66% was for fall 2023

[safe geyser]

it was in 60’s iirc

[honest thorn]

yeah Fall 23: 43k apps Fall 24: 77k apps

[formal lily]

damnn

[honest thorn]

AR was in 40s iirc

[honest thorn]

60s was before common app

[opal egret]

the last time they released cds was 2023 we dont know the acceptance rate from last year but it was calculated to be 43%

the last acceptance rate known for sure is the one for fall 2023

the yield rate was already like 16% though

@honest thorn

[honest thorn]

yield fell sir

[opal egret]

bro there's no way the yield is sub 10%

literally no school has sub 10% yield

[honest thorn]

no idea i'm guessing tbh

because 77k apps so either they have to yield protect or it's gonna fall

[opal egret]

u can look at umd for an example of how much yield might fall

cuz they also introduced ca recently

[honest thorn]

hmm

[opal egret]

idk it seems very unlikely to me that rutgers has less than 10% yield, idt any schools have yield that low

[safe geyser]

they’re prob doing that with waitlists

[honest thorn]

yeah ig less than 10% yield is crazy

[honest thorn]

idts tbh

[safe geyser]

ik a few ppl that got onto waitlist i feel like they prob doing more that this year

[honest thorn]

maybe

[opal egret]

it might be like 40% overall if you assume yield drops but new brunswick is much lower

[safe geyser]

new brunswick more prestigious than princeton when

[honest thorn]

they are waitlisting low stats ppl maybe

[honest thorn]

after I join 😎

xD

[safe geyser]

fr

if princeton rejects me then it will

[honest thorn]

what major?

[safe geyser]

i forgot

[honest thorn]

damn

[safe geyser]

either urban planning or mathematics

i like flip flopped between those two majors for every college

[honest thorn]

Rutgers Math is very good iirc??

[safe geyser]

yeah i got into rutgers for math

it’s pretty good

[honest thorn]

ic ic, i got in for CS 🥳

[ancient laurel]

Is the acceptance rate srsly 35%

[honest thorn]

maybe, not confirmed

[ancient laurel]

Gotta be bullshit

[honest thorn]

i mean last year AR fell that's for sure

43k apps to 77k apps

[ancient laurel]

Are more lower stat ppl applying after they moved to common app

[formal lily]

probably

[ancient laurel]

That makes sense then

[honest thorn]

ik 1450+ and 4.0 ppl applying this year so idk

[safe geyser]

idk one thing to keep in mind rutgers is test opt plus no essay

so they prob got same thing as northeastern where ppl just chose it cuz of that

[opal egret]

didnt they have a supp

am i misremembering

[safe geyser]

for honors college yeah

[opal egret]

i remember speedrunning something

[safe geyser]

it’s opt tho

and doesn’t affect admissions at all

just for honors college scholarship only 😭

[honest thorn]

@safe geyser are you in state?

[safe geyser]

nop

[honest thorn]

ic ic

[safe geyser]

idk i’m like basically tho 😭

nyc should be considered apart of nj for instate fr

[umbral atlas]

where r y’all getting this from bc I got no email that everyone is talking about and also according to google it’s acceptance rate is 60% for nb

[honest thorn]

😭

isn't NB like 40 mins from NYC

?

[safe geyser]

yeah

[honest thorn]

how's NB?

[safe geyser]

it’s pretty chill

[honest thorn]

crime?

safety?

[ancient laurel]

Lowkey me neither but apparently all ea applicants got it

[opal egret]

nb is chill

decent col and 1 hr from nyc

nice place

[safe geyser]

it’s like roughly same as anywhere else in suburban nj

it a bit higher tho cuz high popu

[honest thorn]

and also cuz it's home to Rutgers ig?

[opal egret]

https://www.reddit.com/r/rutgers/comments/1brw5b6/how_crimeridden_is_rutgers_newbrunswick_is_it/

actually it's kinda cooked crime wise

[honest thorn]

i saw this

but idt that on campus crime is an issue

[ancient laurel]

It's not that bad

[zinc tinsel]

If it was 35 for eng or business I’d see

But in general Lol no

[ancient laurel]

Like no internet tho

[honest thorn]

what

[ancient laurel]

Bad internet

[honest thorn]

wtf

[opal egret]

definitely not

[zinc tinsel]

If u live on college ave and don’t walk alone at night it’s fine

[ancient laurel]

Check rmp every person gives Rutgers a 1/5 on wifi

[zinc tinsel]

My cousin goes there

ALWAYS WALK WITH SOMEONE

[honest thorn]

💀

[opal egret]

that shit is 2 years old

[honest thorn]

ic ic, what's college ave btw 💀

?

[zinc tinsel]

No fr and the food that’s what’s dragging me down from maybe admitting

[opal egret]

if u click on it then it says it's from the 2022-2023 common dataset

[zinc tinsel]

It’s one of like the residence areas

[opal egret]

rutgers hasnt released one for co28 (2024-2025 term)

[zinc tinsel]

And most classes r near there

[opal egret]

and that was when the ar dropped like a rock

[honest thorn]

i see

[opal egret]

because of common app

no one actually knows but it's definitely lower than 50%

and maybe lower than 40%

and obv like much lower for competitive majors

[honest thorn]

i think overall it's between 40-50 tbh

[ancient laurel]

Idk how I got in Rutgers but rejected purdue

[opal egret]

i think high 30 low 40

[opal egret]

did you apply fye

[honest thorn]

Purdue more competitive for STEM

[zinc tinsel]

Naurr 44%

[opal egret]

bro purdue fye is hard as fuck y everyone think it's a safety

😭

[honest thorn]

exactly

[wind orbit]

Purdue locked in this year

Especially hard this year lol

[zinc tinsel]

Did u apply to iu too?

[opal egret]

no

[wind orbit]

Stats of Purdue last year I feel are already outdated

[zinc tinsel]

Iu so underrated

[opal egret]

the overall acceptance rate for purdue this year is going to be 25% someone said an ao let this slip during their tour

[ancient laurel]

Damn

[opal egret]

the housing situation is way too cooked

[ancient laurel]

Praying for umd

[honest thorn]

I think Purdue overshadows IU

[opal egret]

they got 8k more applications in ea alone and are trying to reduce enrollment by 1k cuz last year it was 1k more than expected

so yea

[zinc tinsel]

Deffo

[opal egret]

cuz iu isnt known for stem

[honest thorn]

damn

[opal egret]

purdue business is also mid

[honest thorn]

CS is gonna drop crazy

[zinc tinsel]

Guys I have this horrible fear that all my unis are gonna rescind me

Like idk why

[honest thorn]

why 😭 ?

[zinc tinsel]

I’m my biggest doubter 😭

[honest thorn]

Purdue is very STEM focused

[zinc tinsel]

Is Purdue also the chicken place?

[opal egret]

no

[zinc tinsel]

Oh

[opal egret]

wdym

[honest thorn]

same, but they don't have anything to revoke my admit cuz I've already finished school 💀

[zinc tinsel]

Like the purduechixkeb

Chicken

[opal egret]

bro what

[zinc tinsel]

Like the tenders

[opal egret]

idk

what that is

[zinc tinsel]

😭😭😭

[honest thorn]

that's Perdue

[opal egret]

💀

[zinc tinsel]

Oh ur intl

[zinc tinsel]

R u seeiousvvv

I THOUGHT SOME GUY FROM PHRDUE STARTED THE COMPANY

OR SOMETHING

[opal egret]

purdue pharma

is cooked

[honest thorn]

😭

[opal egret]

they started the opioid epidemic

💀

[zinc tinsel]

Did u watch the Netflix show

[opal egret]

naw

i dont watch netflix much

[zinc tinsel]

Oh

[opal egret]

which one

[zinc tinsel]

Hold up

Painkiller

It’s rlly good

Like a drama doc

[honest thorn]

@opal egret which country btw

ic

i'm from india too damn

[opal egret]

idk why i said abu dhabi i grew up in ksa

[honest thorn]

way too many Indians in A2C

[honest thorn]

hmm ic

[opal egret]

rutgers is straight up next to edison nj

lol

[honest thorn]

yeah, lot of indians at Rutgers too

[crystal pawn]

wooo

im in

[zinc tinsel]

Ayy Jeddah or wha

[opal egret]

yea jeddah

near jeddah

[zinc tinsel]

Yes bro tryna get the patel huzz

Ik there’s lot of gujjus

Rutger

[honest thorn]

ig my community is underrepresented there 😎 xD

def not 😆

[lime zodiac]

yo lemme in on this😭

[crystal pawn]

any idea why im getting this?

[paper nova]

i think we full

[lime zodiac]

Im getting that too

[crystal pawn]

what did you provide for id?

your rutgers id?

that's what I did

[lime zodiac]

I think you gotta enroll first

yeah and i tried ssn

[crystal pawn]

huh, but that's where I see my financial aid info

[zinc tinsel]

search up undergrad applicant portal rutgers

[lime zodiac]

exactly, but from what i found online it seems like that

[zinc tinsel]

I used my community id

[crystal pawn]

probably needs a bit to activate

[lime zodiac]

yeah hopefully

[crystal pawn]

I'll give it a few days

if it still doesn't work, reach out to admissions

[lime zodiac]

yeah

[crystal pawn]

when do honors college decisions come out?

[zinc tinsel]

March I think

[crystal pawn]

I see

long time

whatever

[narrow quarry]

nope just takes a day or two

to be able to use net id

[wind orbit]

Unc chapel hill comes out 3pm pst right

[half sparrow]

why would we know

[safe geyser]

oh rutgers sent me email

[mortal beacon]

same

[honest thorn]

@mortal beacon what happened

umich>

?
\

[mortal beacon]

defer

expected cant lie

[honest thorn]

😭

yeah

umich is crazy

[mortal beacon]

there

fixed

[safe geyser]

umich when u don’t live in michigan

[honest thorn]

yea

[opal egret]

wtf

oh umich defer

😭

[mortal beacon]

did bro i think got deferred from rutgers

[opal egret]

i was so confused for a second

[opal egret]

acceptance rate is like 35-40% now

overall

💀

[narrow quarry]

chill

[opal egret]

so who knows

[mortal beacon]

What the fuck

Bro wasnt rutgers 70%

[opal egret]

they havent published ar since fall 2023

[narrow quarry]

common app

[opal egret]

2024 they added rutgers to CA

[narrow quarry]

78k applicants

[mortal beacon]

Thats insane

[opal egret]

applicants increased by 20k

then like 10k more

this year

[manic beacon]

So people who did EA and got deferred is it yield protection or what? Some of my friends with no ECs got accepted and friends with 1500+ amazing ECs got deferred

[opal egret]

new brunswick is probably like 30-35%

[safe geyser]

idk i think could be they just ran out of time by deadline

[narrow quarry]

does this mean newark is also harder to get into

[safe geyser]

they’d prob do that with waitlist instead

[opal egret]

yea

[manic beacon]

No way that’s a thing though 😭

[opal egret]

it happened to ut and umich

[mortal beacon]

Dude I applied RD

[manic beacon]

Competitive applications get deferred

[mortal beacon]

i got my decision today morning

[opal egret]

same

[manic beacon]

if the acceptance rate is actually like 30%

[safe geyser]

my cum gpa is like 3.75 or smth (upward trend tho) so like yeah

[opal egret]

because my sat score is way higher than the equivalent gpa

[opal egret]

mine is around that much asw

i have a parabolic trend

[ancient laurel]

[opal egret]

[safe geyser]

[cloud radish]

good to hear that for me lol

[jovial skiff]

[mental plinth]

Uhh

Hows osu

[jovial skiff]

[cloud radish]

[mental plinth]

Oh..

[mental plinth]

Newbrunswick is lower btw

[jovial skiff]

damn

I got really lucky for Rutgers

[mental plinth]

Yeah

Considering theres >76000

Apps

[polar sand]

Is anyone able to activate their netID?

[foggy river]

hell yeah

[mental plinth]

Who knows
I might see ya there

[clever urchin]

They have literally never said that it's 35% 😭😭

[mental plinth]

Wait for email

[mental plinth]

They did

[safe geyser]

they didn't lol

[mental plinth]

They literally sent out emails

[safe geyser]

they just said number of applicants this year was highes

[mental plinth]

And reddit pinned

Rutgers reddit

[jovial skiff]

:0

[mental plinth]

Seems canon

[clever urchin]

No, their email told us the number of applicants they got. People are just assuming that they will accept the same number of people as last time, which would make it 35%. However, because they got many more out of state students, yield will be much lower, so they probably accepted more

[mental plinth]

[mental plinth]

Isnt last year a similar case?

Also
That 35% includes all campuses

[thick cedar]

drafted up my loci that no one's gonna read 🤑

[jovial skiff]

good luck 🙏

no way you don't get accepted off WL with 3.94 and instate

[thick cedar]

[safe geyser]

[mental plinth]

@wise rampart

[wise rampart]

[jovial skiff]

💀 ok

[mental plinth]

same

[wise rampart]

💀

[mental plinth]

i guess we have 3 here now

[jovial skiff]

got the whole squad here

[mental plinth]

[narrow quarry]

Rutgers intl population is huge

Compared to other schools

[mental plinth]

im oos

[wind orbit]

i dont think the t20s necessarily got a lot harder, it's just that a lot of other tier 2 public unis especially got a lot harder

not everyone ends up applying to the ivies, but literally (almost) everyone i know for instance gave purdue, wisconsin madison, and uni of michigan a shot

[mental plinth]

purdue is hell

[narrow quarry]

did you get in

[wind orbit]

jus waitin on georgia tech and uiuc next week :3

[mental plinth]

yes

[narrow quarry]

dubs

where are you considering rn

[mental plinth]

uiuc and gatech
scary

[wind orbit]

a lot of folks i know applied to uiuc

gtech not so much, but it's tough regardless

if i get into them, then ill have choices

ivies come out in like 2 months

[mental plinth]

same

[wind orbit]

the wait will be real

[dense zinc]

business 🔥

[wind orbit]

i shouldve not applied to some other schools like UoFlorida and Virginia Tech

shouldve shotgunned more ivies

[wind orbit]

🔥

[wind orbit]

gtech i have a feeling will be super duper hard, much more of an academic focus school

[dense zinc]

uf and vt is fire tho

wym dawg 💀

[wind orbit]

i got much better choices alr lol

[dense zinc]

ok

well u wouldnt have known that months ago

[wind orbit]

yeah

nothingi can do about it

[dense zinc]

i rather apply to uf and vt then ivies

more realistic and solid quality

[wind orbit]

how is uof admissions this year

[dense zinc]

idk

[narrow quarry]

uhhhh I got rejected

that’s all I know

i haven’t heard from anyone else

[stray parcel]

You also got mich?

[wind orbit]

i didnt apply mich

[stray parcel]

Zamn

[wind orbit]

i got into everything else that came out today though

[stray parcel]

I got into mich idk what my chances are for gtech now

[wind orbit]

uni of florida, unc chapel, ohio state, rutgers

[dense zinc]

RUTGERS, THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY UNIVERSITY

[stray parcel]

Well prolly the same

Every school is different

[dense zinc]

THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

OH

IO

[stray parcel]

Oh crap UNC is huge

[dense zinc]

🔥

[wind orbit]

next week georgia tech and uiuc comes out

[stray parcel]

Are you in state or OOS

[wind orbit]

out of state

i also got into ut austin

i live in cali

[stray parcel]

Goddamn. CS?

[wind orbit]

informatics

[stray parcel]

No way bro

You got it

[wind orbit]

hopefully

[stray parcel]

Like Austin OOS is actually crazy

[wind orbit]

purdue cs also wanted me

[stray parcel]

I got COE OOS so crossing my fingers for gt

But I’m prolly cooked

[wind orbit]

nah trust

i got deferred from usc tho lmao

[stray parcel]

I’m more confident than before though

[stray parcel]

Who doesn’t

[wind orbit]

i initially ED'd to cornell

defer

but cornell defer is a w

[stray parcel]

yeah my friend got deferred too

He’s been going through it

[wind orbit]

usc defer is basically rejection

[stray parcel]

He got deferred from purdue as well

[wind orbit]

oh rip

[stray parcel]

And rejected from chapel

[wind orbit]

😭

[stray parcel]

Got villanova though

[wind orbit]

waiting on yale, rice, cornell, johnhopkins, and brown

all RD

[wind orbit]

college apps is russian roulette lmaoo

each school has their own temper

[stray parcel]

I stg bro

This year has had some weird results

[wind orbit]

ill say this

this year is an essay year

if you cooked a good essay you get in

[stray parcel]

I feel like for CS it’s particularly bad

[narrow quarry]

wtf

you’re cracked asf

[stray parcel]

I’m doing eng so they’re much more stats and ecs focused in my experience

But idk

[wind orbit]

cuz no way all these 1550 sats who have good ecs get rejected or deferred

[narrow quarry]

congrats fr

[wind orbit]

it is

thats why i did cs for everything except ivies

[narrow quarry]

my essay had to do it for osu bruh

[wind orbit]

and some tier 2s

[stray parcel]

I mean I had a 1590 and 4.0 and pretty good ECs and got in, and the people in my school with worse stats than me were deferred-a lot of it depends on the comp in your area as well

[wind orbit]

it's kinda stupid to do cs for ivies rn 💀

[stray parcel]

Like if you live in a cracked area you’re gonna have trouble

[wind orbit]

like ngl 💀 unless you have solved cancer or smthing

[stray parcel]

What’d you do

[wind orbit]

i live in the HEART of silicon valley

[wind orbit]

informatics

computer related but not exactly cs

[stray parcel]

Yeah I did ECE everywhere

Even the state schools

[wind orbit]

for some others i did ece

or math

[stray parcel]

Like mich or purdue

[narrow quarry]

bro getting in ut austin here is genuinely insane

what’s ur stats??

[wind orbit]

for purdue i did cs because i didnt want to go there for anything else

[wind orbit]

34 ACT 4.0 UW 10 APs

[stray parcel]

I wanna do ECE so I’m chill with that

[narrow quarry]

🤯

[mental plinth]

hell 2.0

[wind orbit]

but if you look at score breakdown im 1 away from a 35, and my stem breakdown is a 35

my EC list is extensive

[narrow quarry]

they definitely took that into consideration ngl

[wind orbit]

i have volunteering, leadership, sports, piano international awards etc.

[narrow quarry]

amazing

if I didn’t do so bad on the math portion of act I would’ve gotten like a 32-33

[wind orbit]

some awards that are district wide, varsity xc tho

oh i got 36 math

lol

[narrow quarry]

you don’t even wanna know mine

😭

that was not my day

[wind orbit]

as for computer science i did some projects that are pretty niche, worldwide ranked chess engine etc

[narrow quarry]

i had to drive a mf hour and a half

they changed my test location 3 days before to somewhere far asf

[wind orbit]

honestly its not even that impressive but it looks good on paper 💀

[narrow quarry]

and I’m js not a huge math guy anyway

[wind orbit]

the only reason why i have extensive ecs is because ive always been someone who jumps from thing to thing

[narrow quarry]

that’s good

[wind orbit]

ive done music voice acting chinese yoyo running drawing

[narrow quarry]

mine are really really mid

[wind orbit]

club

etc music creation

uhhhh
