Rutgers University (2024-2025)

[wind orbit]

yeah i have done a shit ton of stuff that i never grew

a lot of the stuff i listed i didnt even put on my app

[narrow quarry]

i wish I could go back I would’ve been a lot more involved for sure

[wind orbit]

i was just involved in a lot of stuff because i am easy to get addicted to something 💀

and in junior year, i went: ok i need to grow some of these things (and i already had a lot of starting points)

then i kind of artificially built up a story for my application

[narrow quarry]

i didn’t take school that serious until sophomore year

i had like a 3.0 freshman year

and it went up every year

[wind orbit]

i didnt lock in until junior year

[narrow quarry]

3.4 sophomore 3.7 junior

[wind orbit]

i went to sleep at like 3 am every night

reading fanfics

[narrow quarry]

and rn I think I’m at like a 3.8 or 9

[narrow quarry]

LMFA

[wind orbit]

though my course load was light as shit

[narrow quarry]

mine was too until sophomore

[wind orbit]

algebra 2 honors apcs in sophmoore year

and freshman year only regular

i was able to manage straight As without really thinking about it until that point, junior year is where i had to start focusing

[narrow quarry]

went from a 79 in academic english freshman year to a 99 in honors junior year 😭🙏

dude literally

It felt like I tried harder freshman year and got shit grades

[wind orbit]

i dont remember freshman year 😭

[narrow quarry]

but sophomore to now it feels like I don’t even do anything fr

it’s definitely maturity I think

freshman year was my first year back at school since school closed for Covid

so it was hard to adjust to again

[wind orbit]

i somehow finalized everything i need for colleg apps in junior year extra curricularwise

idk how

this year has just been academic focused

6 aps with college apps is not it 💀

[narrow quarry]

ive only taken 2 bro i was so scared idky

freshman year made me think I was dumb

[wind orbit]

how many does your school offer

[narrow quarry]

a lot

[wind orbit]

my school offers everything

like practically everything

[narrow quarry]

most of them besides seminar I think and research

[wind orbit]

yeah course rigorousness is huge

[narrow quarry]

but I’m doing rly good in the 2 im in rn

they’re easy ones but still

they could’ve boosted my gpa crazy

like my teacher recommended me for apcsa and I ducked it😭💔

[wind orbit]

try taking bc calc x ap stats + ap bio x ap env 💔

[narrow quarry]

omg

im doing env rn

it’s interesting

[wind orbit]

its freshman year regular bio

💀

lowk falling asleep in that class

[narrow quarry]

is it really

they don’t feel the same

[wind orbit]

for me at least

idk

ive done every science course tho

[narrow quarry]

env feels more applied bio I guess

[wind orbit]

uhh i self studied ap chem

[narrow quarry]

if that makes sense

[wind orbit]

cuz im stupid

i only spent like a week on it lmao

good thing i remembered stuff from chem reg

[narrow quarry]

i hated chem

my teacher kinda sucked

[wind orbit]

ive done physics chem and bio atp

bio is my thing

[narrow quarry]

what’s your major again?

[wind orbit]

computer science

[narrow quarry]

ahhh

where do you th ink ur gonna commit

[wind orbit]

ive done every science ap and almost every history ap and some misc. aps

i avoid english aps like the plague though

i find stem crammable

english i cant

[dense zinc]

sigma

[wind orbit]

theres actually not that much stuff in stem ap content

to just memorize

[wind orbit]

agreed

[wind orbit]

idk

waiting on ivies as i said b4

i actually have a bio actively learn that counts as a lab to do rn i should get to it

lmfaoo 💀 i dont wanna do this

ts 💔

[narrow quarry]

yes

then sleep

[wind orbit]

😭

bro thinks hes gojo

[faint ocean]

what was the acceptance rate for engineering last year?

can’t find it anywhere

[narrow quarry]

Nah, I’d research

[mental plinth]

20-30% according to college vine

i got 36 in science and 33 in math xd

[faint ocean]

college vine is bs

[dense zinc]

??

wym

[mental plinth]

well
i cant really find much data for last year

[faint ocean]

told me i had a 50% chance of getting into ucla

[dense zinc]

not that part

hes talking abt just the acceptance rate

not ur own chance

[faint ocean]

bro what

[faint ocean]

i’m just giving an example of how it’s bs

[faint ocean]

ok that seems better

thank you

[mental plinth]

but

that 30% is all campus

engineering is more competitive

[faint ocean]

holy

[dense zinc]

wow im so sigma!

[mental plinth]

so i believe a 20% is reasonable

[narrow quarry]

that means New Brunswick is even lower than 30 right?

yes

[faint ocean]

how did i get in then tf

[narrow quarry]

jeez

[dense zinc]

LETS GOOO

IM CRACKED

totally

[faint ocean]

lowk makes me confident about udub

yay

[narrow quarry]

rutgers was considered a safety over here

forever

it was a joke that if u were in state with a pulse you’d get in

[mental plinth]

its their second year on common app

[opal egret]

Purdue used to be a safety as well

[zinc tinsel]

I literally have no idea how I got in

[faint ocean]

EXAXTLY BRO

[narrow quarry]

yeah ik

that’s why

[faint ocean]

purdue ugh

[mental plinth]

[narrow quarry]

nobody liked their dumb website application

[mental plinth]

purdue fucking hurts

[faint ocean]

fr

[narrow quarry]

i think alot of ppl. R gonna get off the waitlist tho

[mental plinth]

[mental plinth]

[faint ocean]

[mental plinth]

[faint ocean]

test optional?

[mental plinth]

they rolling dices or what

[narrow quarry]

or discover a new element

[zinc tinsel]

Oh ya

[wind orbit]

even though application numbers go up whats more important is to consider the pool

[zinc tinsel]

lol

I opted out sat

[mental plinth]

no wonder

[zinc tinsel]

My gpa is 4.76

[faint ocean]

r ur activities cracked

[zinc tinsel]

Weight

[mental plinth]

[faint ocean]

ohh ok that’s good

[mental plinth]

[mental plinth]

4.76

[mental plinth]

[faint ocean]

lowk seems like bs now

[mental plinth]

we so sigma

[zinc tinsel]

So ya I doubt it is 35%

[mental plinth]

btu ehh

[zinc tinsel]

Prob 45

40

[mental plinth]

thats official

kinda funny

[narrow quarry]

idk a lot of people at my school didn’t get in

[foggy river]

i get into rutgers but not umass 😔

[faint ocean]

probability inflated

probably

[mental plinth]

3/5 didnt get in in our sku

[narrow quarry]

and were pretty close to rutgers

basically everyone at my school applied

[faint ocean]

ohh

[narrow quarry]

id say maybe 20-30% got in

from what I’ve heard and seen

[faint ocean]

damn all colleges really lowering their acceptances huh

[dense zinc]

yes

2007 boom

[mental plinth]

no
its just 2007 boom

huge numbers of apps

[faint ocean]

fair

[narrow quarry]

what is that I saw a tiktok abt it

[wind orbit]

@narrow quarry LOCI

[mental plinth]

not to mention the crazy shotgunning

[narrow quarry]

but didn’t pay attention

[wind orbit]

@narrow quarry USC

ude im fucking goinsa insane

[narrow quarry]

LMFAOOO

UR INSSANE

go to sleep

it’s time

[wind orbit]

😭

[faint ocean]

how good is rutgers for engineering?

[mental plinth]

i also wonder

[narrow quarry]

good

[mental plinth]

should i take rutgers over penn state

[faint ocean]

not purdue level tho i assume

[wind orbit]

we need someone to make a fifty nifty states parody but instead for t50 colleges

[narrow quarry]

ofc not

but it’s def good

[zinc tinsel]

It’s good but it’s not like renowned for it

[faint ocean]

hmm

[mental plinth]

still good
purdue is literally top 10
sometimes even top 5

[narrow quarry]

in the northeast rutgers is looked highly upon anyway

[faint ocean]

UGHHH

WHY DISNT PURDUE TAKE ME

[mental plinth]

same

im sad

[faint ocean]

i got deferred bro

have to write a stupid loci now

[half sparrow]

it’s also becoming more known throughout the country

[wind orbit]

loci loci loci

[half sparrow]

ranked in the 30s on us news and nj grads tend to spread out

[faint ocean]

does jersey have any good companies nearby

[half sparrow]

yes tons of them

and everyone in nyc knows rutgers

[faint ocean]

hmm

interesting

i’m happy in here in the northwest tho

west coast best coast

[half sparrow]

maybe we dont want you here in jersey

/j

[faint ocean]

rutgers does

[half sparrow]

you must give up your incorrect ways

put away all the gods your father served

[faint ocean]

da frick

what gods bro

[half sparrow]

it’s a metaphor

from one of the hardest bible verses

[faint ocean]

i’m not even christian

[half sparrow]

im mostly joking and being dramatic

im atheist also

[faint ocean]

lmao okay

does all of jersey make bible jokes

if so i’m calling quits then

[zinc tinsel]

I mean Rutgers is brown town

[faint ocean]

that’s exactly why i applied ffs

[zinc tinsel]

My dads Punjabi Pakistani he told me he’s only gonna let me go there

[zinc tinsel]

Ayyyy

Nice

[mental plinth]

no clue how reputable is us news and qs

[faint ocean]

i was close

[mental plinth]

qs?

[half sparrow]

going off memory

[mental plinth]

nce

nice

[zinc tinsel]

Ion know what that is

[half sparrow]

no im just autistic

[faint ocean]

aren’t we all

[mental plinth]

qs ranking
search it up

[narrow quarry]

well it’s proximity to nyc and philly alone gives you the upper hand

[mental plinth]

penn state is literally same rank with udub

[narrow quarry]

but there’s a lot of companies here

[faint ocean]

bro why were parents getting all freaky in 2007

[mental plinth]

[faint ocean]

literally cost me purdue

[dense zinc]

0/10 rage bait

cope = level 0

[mental plinth]

[half sparrow]

because they didnt know the economy was about to die

[faint ocean]

ohh ok that’s tough

[narrow quarry]

yeah you’re a train ride away from both

less than an hour

[faint ocean]

but it’s too cold man

[narrow quarry]

that’s true

[faint ocean]

my brown ass can’t take that

[narrow quarry]

where are you from

[jovial skiff]

wait ong?

[mental plinth]

oh cold?
lmao
try minnesota

[narrow quarry]

yes I go to nyc all the time

[mental plinth]

yes

look at maps

[half sparrow]

rutgers is famously brown

[faint ocean]

doesn’t it snow in sept over there

[jovial skiff]

oh sick I got friends in new york

[narrow quarry]

probably closer to a 40 minute train ride honestly

[mental plinth]

#1332572294236733491
please someone

[mental plinth]

basically

[jovial skiff]

oh shit that's real close

[faint ocean]

i’ve heard

[jovial skiff]

hypeee

[half sparrow]

everyone in jersey knows at least 3 indian kids at rutgers

[mental plinth]

what does that mean

[jovial skiff]

you're committing to osu?

[half sparrow]

high indian population

[jovial skiff]

lot of brown/black people

along with Asians

[mental plinth]

o

[jovial skiff]

Rutgers is quite diverse

[zinc tinsel]

AYYY DID U GET IN

[mental plinth]

[jovial skiff]

yessir 🔥

[faint ocean]

gonna need a lot of deodorant

[zinc tinsel]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[mental plinth]

curry reee

[jovial skiff]

Japanese curry rice is so fire

[half sparrow]

do you get guys the joke is that indians smell bad arent i so funny

[mental plinth]

yeah
but india curry tastes drastically different

[faint ocean]

yeah

curry is in my blood

[jovial skiff]

I don't think he was insinuating that 💀

I thought he meant that curry just has a strong smell which is like true tho?

[faint ocean]

oh no

i definitely was

[jovial skiff]

💀💀💀

wild

[faint ocean]

yep

i like making fun of my people

[narrow quarry]

no but it’s my #1 rn🙏😭

[half sparrow]

get more creative with it

[faint ocean]

hmmm

[narrow quarry]

i still have some reg decisions left

[mental plinth]

i heard bad hygiene
is it true? like india street food

[half sparrow]

you can be better at racism

[narrow quarry]

ritgers deferral, Syracuse, Pitt, UConn

[faint ocean]

i agree

i am a professional racist

[mental plinth]

join me on reels

ig reels got 95% racism

2% porn

[faint ocean]

lowk not gonna say anything here tho

[mental plinth]

3% brain rot

[faint ocean]

don’t need aos seeing this shi

[mental plinth]

[jovial skiff]

damn

[dense zinc]

hey guys stop yapping and LOCK in

[faint ocean]

who is this kid bro

leave me alone my finals just got over

[dense zinc]

no

[jovial skiff]

I'm also waiting on UConn I already have pitt

[dense zinc]

im the same age as u buddy

😭

[narrow quarry]

Pitt requested my mid year grades

I think it’s good?

[jovial skiff]

which one of these would u choose over osu?

[half sparrow]

it feels weird seeing out of state people talking about wanting to go to rutgers bc most people at my school are trying to get away from rutgers

[narrow quarry]

I think Syracuse would be more affordable

[faint ocean]

rutgers was like a test school for me

[narrow quarry]

LITERALLY

[jovial skiff]

how is a private more affordable 😭

[narrow quarry]

bigger scholarships and grants

my sai is super low

[jovial skiff]

why y'all acting like its bad 😭😭😭

[mental plinth]

LOCK IN DOESNT HELP

[half sparrow]

what does that mean

that you’re poor?

[dense zinc]

how

[narrow quarry]

fafsa

yes

[dense zinc]

yes it means ur poor

lower SAI = more broke

[half sparrow]

sorry that was kind of blunt

[narrow quarry]

more money 🥹

[dense zinc]

its ok its a2c

they can handle blunt

💀

[jovial skiff]

wouldn't Rutgers be cheaper bc instate

[narrow quarry]

oh yea ofc Rutgers cheapest

but like besides that

[jovial skiff]

and like ngl Rutgers > Syracuse personally

upstate NY is so irrelevant - long islander

[half sparrow]

if nj wad a bigger state i would be fine with rutgers but its so close

[half sparrow]

there certainly isnt a single upstate new york school worth going to

[narrow quarry]

dude id be like 15 mins away from home at all times and idk if i want that?

[half sparrow]

not any

[mental plinth]

MY APPS ARE ALL OUT

and they dont look at my dse scores

[opal egret]

ngl if u went to somewhere with a lot of Indians I think u would also become race pilled

[dense zinc]

no

[mental plinth]

?

[jovial skiff]

Syracuse, Rochester, ubuffalo are the only notable ones and even those they're 😶

[dense zinc]

lock in NOW

we need the optional 3rd quarter grades

to send to deferred schools

[half sparrow]

i am friends with and go to school with many indians and i am not racist. wow so difficult

[dense zinc]

so they can see how sigma we are

[half sparrow]

i think you’re missing one

[narrow quarry]

ubuffalo is mice

i didn’t apply to Buffalo but I considered

[jovial skiff]

?

[mental plinth]

no defer

cooked

[jovial skiff]

my parents hate the living hell out of upstate NY lol

[half sparrow]

there is a pretty notable upstate new york school that you missed

[dense zinc]

oh ok

[half sparrow]

and not binghamton

[jovial skiff]

the only NY school I applied is Stony Brook

[mental plinth]

how is it?

[jovial skiff]

Cornell? barely upstate

[mental plinth]

bruh

pton

oh wait

[half sparrow]

we have different definitions

[mental plinth]

new york state

[jovial skiff]

that's NJ

[mental plinth]

ya

[jovial skiff]

Cornell is like mid state

[mental plinth]

i thought near nyc

[narrow quarry]

it seems depressing

[jovial skiff]

Princeton is not near NYC 😭😭😭

[narrow quarry]

but ive always liked cuse

[opal egret]

Bro Indian intls at Rutgers and Purdue are cooked all my white friends became racepilled after talking to those mfers 💀

[narrow quarry]

yes it is

[jovial skiff]

Rutgers is closer to nyc than Princeton is

[opal egret]

I am allowed to say that cuz even I’m Indian

[jovial skiff]

real

[mental plinth]

pretty close

[narrow quarry]

eutgers is closer tho

[opal egret]

The rich mofos that grow up in India are actually cooked

[narrow quarry]

but it’s still close

still abt an hour by train

rutgers maybe 40 mins

[half sparrow]

my nyc mom just says up state to refer to this

[half sparrow]

wtf is racepilled

[jovial skiff]

NYC person ofc would say that lol

[half sparrow]

is that an incel way of saying racism or smth

[jovial skiff]

anyone from LI/NYC will say upstate is irrelevant

[opal egret]

Maybe I use too much Twitter

[half sparrow]

i think we all do

[jovial skiff]

imagine having twitter installed 💀

I never touched that shit

[half sparrow]

well my mom also went to cornell and she calls it up state

[jovial skiff]

:0 how's Cornell

[mental plinth]

[jovial skiff]

I have a friend that ED there

for math

[half sparrow]

she liked it a lot

transferred from uiuc after she hated it 💀

[mental plinth]

i also have a friend that did
seems like uhh
well

[jovial skiff]

💀💀💀

[mental plinth]

huuh

is uiiuc that bad?

[half sparrow]

no it just wasnt for her

[jovial skiff]

uiuc is in the middle of nowhere lol

[mental plinth]

[mental plinth]

i mean both are pretty much

[half sparrow]

so is cornell

to be fair uiuc has changed a lot

[zinc tinsel]

That’s me with umd

[half sparrow]

meanwhile if i was in north carolina, virginia, michigan, or california i would be dying to commit to my state school 💀

[zinc tinsel]

Real brooo Idg how Virginians don’t like uva

[jovial skiff]

Texas too

[half sparrow]

new jersey deserves a super good state flagship school the way that those states do

[zinc tinsel]

Omg ya

[jovial skiff]

ut austin 5% oos 💀

[half sparrow]

we have the 3rd best education in the country or smth but rutgers needs more

or a new rutgers

[zinc tinsel]

Isn’t Rutgers near Princeton

[half sparrow]

kinda

they got a rivalry

im gonna hypnotize elon musk into donating $100 billion towards rutgers to make it the best college in the world and admit 90% of the class in state

[mental plinth]

ya

[dense zinc]

new rutgers

chat how do i double major

🤓

[half sparrow]

you do a major

but twice

[dense zinc]

omg ur so smart

this is why ur somewhere '29

😛

[half sparrow]

exactly

[dense zinc]

yeah bro

[mental plinth]

[dense zinc]

i wanna do healthcare

[half sparrow]

classmate got into a princeton and im convinced she isnt a real human

[dense zinc]

administration

[dense zinc]

why

[wind orbit]

just dont become a ceo

[dense zinc]

what

.

oh hell nah

[half sparrow]

dont get luigi’d

[dense zinc]

💀

ur so funny!

hiliarious!

[half sparrow]

comical!

[dense zinc]

silly!

[half sparrow]

i love using my human humor talents!

to make other humans laugh!

[mental plinth]

[dense zinc]

i feel an urge to play valorant

uh oh

[half sparrow]

no

dont give in

[dense zinc]

its my part abb instincts

im COOKED

[half sparrow]

burnt to a crisp

[dense zinc]

uh oh

[wind orbit]

uh oh

[half sparrow]

i wish people still built cool stone gothic buildings

because you need to just find old ones most of the time

even though they look sick as fuck

[hollow igloo]

😭

[half sparrow]

all 3 chinese people

[jovial skiff]

wait

[dense zinc]

wait

[jovial skiff]

youll make it

everyone on in my school that applied to Rutgers only applied as safety

they won't actually go

which will free up spots

[mental plinth]

[jovial skiff]

they don't take ppl off waitlist early

it's always after may 1st

rly?

I didn't know

[dense zinc]

safety is fake

[jovial skiff]

I never got waitlisted before

[jovial skiff]

real 💀 Rutgers in 2025 ain't safety anymore

I got so lucky for Rutgers

my reach is my classmates safety 😭

but whatever Rutgers is goated

[dense zinc]

nah i never call a school a safety

[jovial skiff]

me neither

[dense zinc]

theres always a chance of rejection

also im being humble towards myself

unlike 90% of a2c people

[jovial skiff]

will do 🙏

[mental plinth]

umn

FUCC

[dense zinc]

the only safety is direct admission

[dry narwhal]

maybe try to work toward some more awards in the next few months

and then include those updates in loci

[jovial skiff]

why do you specifically like Rutgers? you're intl so you have other options right?

oh I see

that's cool

idk anyone that lives in NJ

but I have friends in NY

[dense zinc]

rutgers more like indians

[hollow igloo]

Well see u there then

[dense zinc]

its ok

[jovial skiff]

:)

[narrow quarry]

ru doesn’t take lors

idky

[dense zinc]

RUTGERSSS

[jovial skiff]

RUTGERS 🔥🔥🔥

friendship ended with osu now I'm down bad for Rutgers

[wind orbit]

[jovial skiff]

did you get into osu or rutgers

I forgor

[wind orbit]

Both

[jovial skiff]

congrats 🔥

[wind orbit]

‼️🔥

[jovial skiff]

you can try

not like it will hurt

[vestal arch]

yea i got rejected unc (accepted rutgers)

[rose thistle]

Still under review bruh

First choice too

[manic beacon]

My friend forget to apply to rutgers is there any way he can still apply?

It is rolling right?

[stray parcel]

Believe so but it’s tough

[thick cedar]

what a crazy world we live in lmao

[rose thistle]

STILL WAITING AAAAAAAAA

LET ME IN

[undone portal]

if i get umd for cs i'll have more faith in my essay

i know a dude with better raw stats than i do and got waitlisted at umass amherst for cs while i got in with a 18k/yr scholarship oos

i have a feeling that 1) it was yield protection or 2) my essay carried

newark rutgers is kinda in the hood

[jovial skiff]

Camden 💀💀💀

New Brunswick is the goat

[undone portal]

yea both are shady

[wind orbit]

ah

iirc maryland is a sucker for high gpa

similar to ucs

[safe geyser]

idk tbh camden and newark really aren’t too shady but that just my opinion

[jovial skiff]

idk man lowkey if you're not going to the main campus of any school (ie camden/newark or like penn state non main campus) then like what are you doing with your life 😭

[narrow quarry]

no it’s not

the neighborhood is nice

NJIT and a community college right there

huge police presence

if u venture out sure it’s the hood but

CAMDEN is a different story

you’d have to pay ME to go there😭

[narrow quarry]

newark isn’t bad for business

the penn state satélite campuses suck though

[dense zinc]

i rather go to IU

atp

[jovial skiff]

doesnt newark leech off the business school from NB?

[narrow quarry]

technically other way around actually

[jovial skiff]

oh lmao

[narrow quarry]

yeah it’s kinda funny

there’s no “main” business school

it’s gonna say rutgers business school on your degree for nb and newark

doesn’t even mention Newark or nb

[jovial skiff]

damn

[narrow quarry]

Idk about Camden though

Camden isn’t real

[jovial skiff]

wait so i gotta share classes with newark plebs?

😭

[wind orbit]

hows campus overall

[jovial skiff]

from what i heard

[narrow quarry]

Newark?

[jovial skiff]

NB campus is big

but fragmented

[narrow quarry]

Newark campus is not like New Brunswick at all

Idk if you can even call it a campus

But New Brunswick is split into a few campuses of its own

But they’re all “Rutgers New Brunswick” just smaller parts for the different schools

[wind orbit]

yeah

[narrow quarry]

[mortal beacon]

i applied regular decision but got admitted the day of early action

[mental plinth]

they are rolling

no clue

[narrow quarry]

hmmm

[narrow quarry]

if I got deferred from rutgers would it make sense to send a loci

or would that help

[mortal beacon]

Where do i see scholarships

[narrow quarry]

not out

for a little bit

[mental plinth]

Activate netid

Financial aid portal

[foggy smelt]

i did

and it says invalid credentials

[mental plinth]

Email them

[foggy smelt]

[mental plinth]

I waited until the rutgers email
Didnt work at first

[mental plinth]

Old ass website bruh

[mental plinth]

[undone portal]

august 1st?

damn

you'll already have committed to a different college by then

[vestal arch]

all waitlists come that late

[zinc tinsel]

Bro RUTGERS IS SIXTY KKKKKK???

[eternal willow]

thats how waitlists work

they fill the spots they have left after admitted students went elsewhere

[eternal willow]

thats pretty standard for oos public schools

[zinc tinsel]

That’s a lot compared to my other ones

[narrow quarry]

going to rutgers out of state is crazy

😭

[thick cedar]

pretty sure most people get off the waitlist in may tho

[half sparrow]

thats the point

people commit so that way they know how many spots they have left if any

[mental plinth]

More than

[wind orbit]

Unc is also 60k oos

[tender raptor]

Crazy news for me

[heady grove]

[mental plinth]

I kinda wonder

How tho

And rutgers rankjng through the years rose so much

[heady grove]

tbh idk ☠️

[mental plinth]

[heady grove]

[mental plinth]

[mental plinth]

email them

we had srar issues for ea

[narrow quarry]

what email address

and if srar website says it’s sent I think it’s fine

[mental plinth]

its on their website

[quasi bear]

bruh mines not even under review STILL

[undone portal]

yo any rutgers students in here

how's the school of engineering

ECE in particular

like in terms of major quality and difficulty and all

[half sparrow]

does anyone know how to add the mid year grades to srar?

im confused

do i just update the grades on the classes

bc they are still in progress

[undone portal]

unless youre deferred (or rejected obv) i dont think you need to update the srar

rutgers will get your final transcript anyway

if you choose to commit

[half sparrow]

oh okay

i got in but got an email asking for senior grades

ig i only need to do that if i commit

[undone portal]

its possible that you were an "on the fence" admit if ykwim

i never got an email like that

[mental plinth]

Same im curious

[crimson elbow]

someone ping me when financial aid dropps

[narrow quarry]

@half sparrow
If you have semester grades:
change every class to semester and enter the semester grade

if u have only one quarter
change to quarterly, first, and then enter each grade

idk why it didn’t reply to ur message but

it just depends on how your school grades

rutgers portal is def glitched tho

i updated my srar 1/27 and it’s still not checked off

but another school says they received my updates one so

[half sparrow]

oh okay

tyy

[mental plinth]

I also got one

They asking for g12 grades?

[half sparrow]

i think so

my school just finalized first semester grades

[mental plinth]

I kinda doubt our school even makes g12 transcripts

[wind orbit]

Ouch

[stable drum]

hey guys!

[crystal pawn]

does Rutgers admit based on major?

I got into arts and sciences, would I declare CS later?

[undone portal]

yes

[undone portal]

possibly

[crystal pawn]

wdym?

it's just fulfilling the pre reqs, right?

[undone portal]

i am not a rutgers student so i cannot say with 100% certainty

[crystal pawn]

I see, gotcha

[narrow quarry]

No

[narrow quarry]

me when I spread false information online

@crystal pawn you’re admitted to the school, for example you’re admitted to the business school

you declare a major later on

[undone portal]

no bruh i got admitted to all three of my majors

[narrow quarry]

You got admitted to the school

Not the major

[undone portal]

let me show you my app

[narrow quarry]

It says “primary academic interest”

[undone portal]

[narrow quarry]

U don’t have to believe me I just want @crystal pawn to know what’s correct

[narrow quarry]

Dude

☠️☠️

[undone portal]
