Rutgers University (2024-2025)

[mellow drum]

?? like

[stray parcel]

Ohhh

Gotcha

I read it on the website💀

I also didn’t think you could get multiple scholarships lol

[polar sand]

You only get one in pretty sure

[plucky viper]

how do you know how much you would pay after receiving your financial aid amount?

[narrow quarry]

it should say net cost when you hit college financing plan

but if not, add up tuition, dorms, food and then subtract your total aid

[safe geyser]

if camden says $0 even tho the portal gave me a scholarship does that mean they just haven't updated mine yet 🥺

[narrow quarry]

yeah not updated probably

[plucky viper]

do you know where this would be?

[safe geyser]

WAIT

[plucky viper]

under financial aid section?

[safe geyser]

MINE UPDATED

wtf

i got $0

[narrow quarry]

are you in the my Rutgers dashboard?

[safe geyser]

bro fml

[plucky viper]

yes ^^

but I am also on the phone, that might be tricky

[safe geyser]

surely they just haven't updated new brunswick yet

[narrow quarry]

@plucky viper

then once you hit college financing plan, net cost is at the bottom

that’s what you pay

[plucky viper]

thank you!!

[safe geyser]

wait if u don't get any aid

is the section 2. thingy here there and just says nothing?

cuz nb don't have that section so idk if it means i didn't get anything

[analog blaze]

Nooooo I only got dean’s scholarship

5k is 5k tho

that means I’m not going 😦

[stable drum]

sup bro I’m a notary legally I can do it for free lolz

but that’s if ur instate of course

[narrow quarry]

well I know some people didn’t get their package

but like

was there a NB section?

even if u didn’t get aid there should still be a financial aid offer

so if it’s not there maybe it’s not out yet

[safe geyser]

yeah

[narrow quarry]

are u out of state

[safe geyser]

idk still chance it wasn't updated cuz camden said same thing before it was

yeah

[narrow quarry]

you might not have gotten any aid ngl

do u get a Pell?

[safe geyser]

nop

[narrow quarry]

damn

yeah maybe u js didn’t get anything

did your portal say you got a NB scholarship?

[safe geyser]

no

but it specifically does say it doesn't put there

[narrow quarry]

ohhh

well

id give it a few days

and check again

cuz my aid offer only showed my merit scholarship for a while

then it updated with all of my federal and state aid

[mellow drum]

i am ong

i don’t get why i got chosen to verify my residency

alongside some other dude at my school

[stable drum]

that’s weird

since when do u live in NJ?

[mellow drum]

forever

[stable drum]

you live in state borders?

[mellow drum]

yes

[stable drum]

maybe that

annoying af but possible

[mellow drum]

my dad works in nyc though so maybe they saw that or something

[stable drum]

OH

yea

if u filed FAFSA for sure

[mellow drum]

oh fuckk

ok that makes sense

[stable drum]

ye

[mellow drum]

luckily i have my own taxes because they were asking abt nj taxes which would’ve been impossible for my dad

[narrow quarry]

did he file taxes in New York

[undone portal]

do they tell you if you were rejected from honors college

[analog blaze]

eventually, yeah

[mellow drum]

i think so ya

[dense zinc]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

why did i hear average rutgers honors college sat was 1530

💀

[stable drum]

anyways I can do notary bruv 🤺

it’s like the simplest thing ever

[dry narwhal]

did anyone else get honors college but $0 for financial aid?

[analog blaze]

It’ll eventually show up

took like 3 days for me

[dry narwhal]

ok cool thanks

also do you know how they decide which scholarship to give?

[analog blaze]

vibes

most people get 5k

[plush mulch]

Whered u see that

[plush mulch]

Yh :/ like what

[dense zinc]

I forgot someone told me

[foggy river]

oh 💀

i was thinking they sent a personalized mail cuz i was begging them to reconsider for honors college like a week back

😭

[vestal arch]

Cope is over chat they sent out rejection emails 💔

[boreal urchin]

rejection email

i thought we were gonna get edged till march

[winter jetty]

bro im still in limbo

[winter jetty]

wait how did u do this

[foggy river]

wdym

[undone portal]

same

i got rejected from honors

[undone portal]

is it need based?

[winter jetty]

how did you appeal for honors decisions

[crimson elbow]

my friend got into rutgers honors college but not umass amherst honors college???

[dry narwhal]

I think everyone in honors gets some kind of merit based scholarship

idk about others though

[boreal urchin]

every college is different

😭

[crimson elbow]

shes hella oos for rutgers though

we atleast qualify for regional with mass

[boreal urchin]

someone said ru honors guarantees a 5k scholarship idk how true that information is but

[crimson elbow]

and they gave her admission to three majors?

[boreal urchin]

damn that sucks

admissions are unpredictable

[undone portal]

what does hella oos even mean 😭 ur either oos or not oos

lmao

[crimson elbow]

some schools do regional

[undone portal]

ohhhhh

[crimson elbow]

so like oos but you still get some benefit

rutgers is too far i think

[foggy river]

see pinned messages

[dry narwhal]

yeah I think that’s right

5k minimum but can be more

[boreal urchin]

is it worth appealing for hc

or nah

bro i should've sent in some updates to my application before

rip

[analog blaze]

nah

[dense zinc]

What does it look like

[dense zinc]

Did u get it?

I dont think i got any rejection letter

[winter jetty]

nah no rejection email

im confused 😭

[dense zinc]

Trust we got in then

😻😻😻😻

Delusional

[winter jetty]

LMFAOOOOOO

okay wheres the honors invitation then 💔

[dense zinc]

Fr

[iron fossil]

When does Rutgers rd come out

[winter jetty]

2/28

i applied RD and got mine a few days ago but a decision is guarenteed by 2/28

[iron fossil]

oh its rolling

how long did it take for them to get back to u

i entered my grades in a lil late

[undone portal]

how come youre already in sjsu

[winter jetty]

i got in sjsu

[undone portal]

oh ok

so u gonna commit there or what

?

[winter jetty]

submitted 12/1, got acceptances 2/20

[winter jetty]

maybe, its got an amazing location

[undone portal]

understandable

[winter jetty]

im just waiting for ivy day LOL

[undone portal]

if i was in cali and didnt get berkeley or LA i wouldve most probably committed to sjsu too

but i didint apply to either of the three

[winter jetty]

oh im oos LOL

im from the midwest

[undone portal]

ohh ok

[winter jetty]

but oos tuition is like 19k, my state flagship (with merit scholarship) is around 10k

[undone portal]

yea sjsu is op with its location

[winter jetty]

and sjsu has a much better location

[undone portal]

#1 silicon valley feeder

i feel like stevens is underrated for the same reason

located literally right across the hudson from nyc

[winter jetty]

there are many schools that are very very underrated

[undone portal]

but stevens is pricey af

[hearty tangle]

@rutgers rd stdents who got admits
did you get mail from them saying status has been updated or did u keep checking every day until u got it

cuz i didnt get my decision yet

[winter jetty]

i didnt get my email until the day after i got in LOL

i checked my portal cs i saw other people were getting decisions and i got in

[undone portal]

thats mad cheap

[hearty tangle]

oh i see

mine is stuck here

it didnt even reach under review wtf

[winter jetty]

ohh yeah thats what mine said LMAO

[undone portal]

it stays like that until you get your decision

[hearty tangle]

oh thank god i felt my shit is incomplete

[undone portal]

yea nah if your app was incomplete they wouldve let you know

[hearty tangle]

i submitted official scores and everything too

yes okay

[stable drum]

what if you applied on several schools?

[undone portal]

i think its the same

[iron fossil]

Do they js drop decisions every day

[narrow quarry]

this is probably a glitch

ive had friends go basically right from submitted to decision

and it never went “under review”

[hearty tangle]

yeah

ill wait for it

[narrow quarry]

i had issues too with stuff not updating on the portal I think the website kinda just sucks

[iron fossil]

Is it waves or rolling

[lime rivet]

Why don’t Rutgers provide a decision letter bruh

[narrow quarry]

they do

it’s in the dashboard

[safe geyser]

i got emial for fin aid

surely that's just cuz of camden and nb will totally give me something

[cyan owl]

？

lmao

where my aid at

[winter jetty]

wait do i not get any merit aid offers until i complete fafsa? or are they seperate

[late raft]

at the top of that website there should be like 3 things that say home / financial / messages. if you click financial it shows you the info

its really annoying to navigate

[dense zinc]

gg

[analog blaze]

Does my hc spot roll down when I reject the offer

[vestal arch]

ur rejecting?

yeah probabl

y

[plush mulch]

is there anywhere i can look to see what i qualify for exactly bc on my financial aid portal thing i dont see nothin

[stray parcel]

Did u get honors college

[polar sand]

When you’re on your portal click on financial on top right

[stray parcel]

Also on the financial aid

Switch to

2025-2026

[polar sand]

Yeah

[plush mulch]

ooooh switched it from 2025 to 2026 and i see stuff now

[polar sand]

You do this and then if you click on college financial plan or sumthing like that it shows your exact breakdown and all with everything

[analog blaze]

yes

[plush mulch]

wdym top right

this?

[stray parcel]

Go to award

Click view

[plush mulch]

oh yh but it doesnt rly tell me the exact costs and stuff... still gotta do the counseling or wtv

also y engineering give me like half the awards that their arts & sciences gives thats kinda dumb

edit: nvm im dumb their numbers include the loans

thing is i dont wanna do the steps to "receive their funds" bc im afraid i might accept the offer by accident or smth

[stray parcel]

If you got HC for cas

They give you the most award for that

[plush mulch]

oh yh ig that makes sense i wasnt sure if that was for HC or not bc i didnt properly check it before today

[plush mulch]

oh nvm forget what i said im supposed to click financial after i click on the award details

[stable drum]

When did u submit

Where did u submit btw

[hearty tangle]

Common app

On deadline

[stable drum]

oh wow

[stable drum]

what major

[hearty tangle]

Cs

[lime rivet]

Just shows admitted, where should I find the decision letter?

[narrow quarry]

create a net id and go into the dashboard

[iron fossil]

When is the next wave of decisions

[winter jetty]

for honors college or for admissions?

[narrow quarry]

probably 28th ngl

since it’s the last day

nobody knows for sure tho

[iron fossil]

js admissions

im worried cuz i submitted SRAR late

[winter jetty]

they recieved the SRAR right

how late?

you should get a decision by 2/28, and if you dont get it by then i would contact the admissions office

[iron fossil]

👍

Yes

[iron fossil]

Does it only come out on fridays or smth

[winter jetty]

rutgers is so funny because i havent gotten a rejection email or an honors invitation yet 💔 im in limbo

[stable drum]

when did u apply

[winter jetty]

dec 1 and initially said no to honors, and then they sent me an email about it so i applied honors by dec 18 which was the deadline on the form

[stable drum]

u haven’t gotten anything back?

[winter jetty]

i got admissions to business school and arts and sciences like 5 days ago

but nothing about honors

apparently honors rejection emails came out but i didnt get one

[hollow igloo]

[hearty tangle]

Chat i still didnt get any decision should i be worried

It seems everyone here got slready

Im RD btw

[waxen tulip]

did anyone here get both scarlet gurantee (all tuition covvered) and honors college. I’m seeing a common trend that ppl who get full tuition don’t get honors college since the school doesn’t want to give them extra money on top of their already free tuition

[safe geyser]

wtf

i thought the deadline was dec 1st

[winter jetty]

nah they sent me another email about honors because i initially ticked no

and they gave me until the 18th to write the 500 word response

[gloomy dragon]

my bestie got into the honors college 😛 so proud of her

is it true its like a 10% acceptance rate

[narrow quarry]

i dont think this is completely true

i don’t think it’s true at all actually

idky that would matter if ur a qualified HC candidate

but the idea makes sense ig

[safe geyser]

it's prob like ever so slightly higher this year

cuz they are merging the honors programs into the honors college

tho idk

[narrow quarry]

well rutgers honors is insanely competitive

that’s kind of a flawed point

[polar sand]

Median sat is 1530 so it is very competitive

[narrow quarry]

it’s where all of the Ivy rejects of NJ go😭

jersey students are super cracked bruh it’s wild

[narrow quarry]

there’s people with that sat score that didn’t even get in to begin with 😭

if that’s how it worked they just wouldn’t accept any low income students lmao

[safe geyser]

we should merge ny and nj so i can get in state tuition

can somebody get started on this plz

[narrow quarry]

2027 tri state area agreement

let’s get this done

penn state would actually be flooded with NJ kids if we could pay in state tuition there

temple too

[analog blaze]

idk, they accept weird people

some of the smartest ppl and many other ppl ik got rejected

that’s not how it works… innocent until proven guilty. Show where it says that applies

why are you so salty that you didn’t get in

you just didn’t meet institutional priorities, there were just more competitive applicants

[narrow quarry]

you blabbered on about some cope and didn’t make it clear at all chill out bruh

426 valedictorians in the state, honors accepts roughly 500 people

so the top 500 people in a class of 10000

there’s clearly gonna be qualified applicants that don’t get in that’s just how it works

[undone portal]

penn state is like 60k oos bruh 😭

[analog blaze]

honors gives like 5k which would be deducted if you we’re getting a gull ride. You didn’t get into honors because you didn’t get into honors, not because you had a full ride

the honors selection committee is separate from the fin aid office

You as in whoever it applies to

i don’t really care if it’s you or another person reading this, it’s just a pronoun

[narrow quarry]

im sorry

[stray parcel]

Like 9 people got in from my school

I don’t think it’s that selective

Lol

[analog blaze]

Yeah plenty get in, plenty don’t too

They don’t always pick the right people imo

I know people far more qualified than me who didn’t get in

[narrow quarry]

You probably go to a pretty good school

[thick cedar]

rip still on the waitlist

let's hope i get off this week 🙏

[stable drum]

hey, did u get a response btw ??

[hearty tangle]

Nope i still didnt

[hearty tangle]

Did you?

[hollow igloo]

wont it come after may 1st

[stable drum]

nah

[lime rivet]

2nd and 3rd from Rutgers is cold

[narrow quarry]

fr

dylan is such an aura farmer irl lmao

[red fog]

What’s that a list of?

[cyan owl]

projected nba 2025 draft

didnt know harper and ace from rutgers

dont watch college ball

[red fog]

Damn I didn’t know Rutgers killed at ball

[cyan owl]

so hypothetically rutgers could win march madness (are they even in march madness)

[cyan owl]

neither did i

[red fog]

Idk I prefer the pure all American violence of football

[stable drum]

did ya apply to Newark??

[thick cedar]

idk bro i saw people last year get off this week

[red fog]

If I wanna go pre med track in college, would school of environmental and bio sciences or school of arts and sciences be better in y’all’s opinion

[red fog]

Yea if people decline the offer then they can but after may your spots gone if you don’t accept

[thick cedar]

ugh i guess not many people are declining this year

cause a lot of people got off the waitlist around this time last year

[red fog]

Sorry man🫡

If you are accepted to multiple colleges at nb does that count for multiple spots?

[thick cedar]

probably

[red fog]

Damn I got hurry up and make my choice, save one of y’all!

[thick cedar]

what r u deciding between?

[red fog]

Arts and sciences school, or environmental and bio sciences school

[thick cedar]

do arts and sciences

[red fog]

Even for premed?

[hearty tangle]

Nah new brunswick

[narrow quarry]

your major doesn’t matter fr

u can go to med school with so many majors

you should pick the one you like best and know you’ll get good grades with

[red fog]

Yea but I mainly am curious about Likeresearch opportunities and shit, but I know sas has more majors

[narrow quarry]

they probably do

but

SEBS has good research too

could even be better than SAS since it’s all like biological type stuff

[stable drum]

I agree with Tyler

do a major that you’re passionate of, whether is research based or anything

[red fog]

Ok thanks!

[stable drum]

med school like law school doesn’t have to be a specific major

[narrow quarry]

and also

it’s Rutgers

SAS or SEBS you’re gonna have amazing research opportunities

[stable drum]

u don’t need prelaw or pre med to go to those career fields

[waxen tulip]

did everyone who applied RD get their decisions

[narrow quarry]

my friend is still on deferred to RD

[waxen tulip]

applied RD not EA

[waxen palm]

Decision made but still waiting for them to confirm they’ve received my 7th semester grades

So I don’t actually know

[viscid pagoda]

Wait I saw some people talking about premed earlier, I’m also between the premed major at both Sas and Sebs and I believe each one gives a diff type of bachelors so which one is best for research and internships and profs lowkey

Im also looking to do more neuro related research and all so which one would be best 🙂

[winter jetty]

got deans scholar!!!!

[red fog]

Pre med bros! The consensus was wherever your top major is, is where you should go. Both have great research. Maybe you should go to sas to major in neuroscience

[viscid pagoda]

Oooh I am new to this so is premedicine not a direct admit or can we declare a major later on?

But thank you so much omg! I was lowkey tweaking out over this lol

[red fog]

Pre med is just a program that you do with your counselor to prepare for med school and the mcat, not really a major

Like they tell you which classes to take

[viscid pagoda]

Oooh thank you, I was lowkey confused bc that was what’s on my portal but nice to know lolol

[red fog]

Yea same it is cunfusin

[viscid pagoda]

Ahhh thank you! I understand it now lolol, ima prob pick SAS fr

Also I love more humanities courses so it would prob be fun 🙂

[red fog]

That’s the one reason I DONT want to go sas, even tho I prolly will, I hate humanities🤣

[viscid pagoda]

Literally so valid lmao, I love sciences too but I need to like chill with the overly crazy hard classes after these APs lolol, I wanna take some fun classes like philosophy or smthn to expand my random horizons

[red fog]

Fairrrrrrrerre

[viscid pagoda]

And plus I have to take physics for premed anyway, I need to balance it out with something out of the box frfr

[red fog]

Fair! Nobody likes physics😭

[viscid pagoda]

SO REAL people who like it are so fake omg (jkjk they’re prob super smart)

[dense zinc]

rutgerusugetuteugers

[waxen palm]

Am i the only one still waiting for a decision?

[red fog]

Mood Fr

[dense zinc]

yes

[waxen tulip]

my friend is too. this is actually crazy, like how late are they gonna send it

[waxen palm]

peak

[waxen tulip]

anything?

[waxen palm]

No

[waxen palm]

still nothing

cant be bothered to chase them up on ot

[stable drum]

Newark?

[waxen palm]

No Nb

[stable drum]

when did u apply

?

common app?

[waxen palm]

Yes

Before deadline which was December 1st?

[stable drum]

ohh

[rose thistle]

Me

Wait idk if it's scarlet guarantee or whatever but I got a full ride and honors

[stable drum]

how long did it take for newark to answer

[narrow quarry]

uhh

i applied to 4 New Brunswick schools and RBS Newark in like late September

and Newark gave my my decision sometime in January

Maybe December actually

And New Brunswick was all on 1/24 EA

[red fog]

Does anyone relate to feeling guilty that better people got rejected, people who are 1000% more qualified?

If you got in.

[narrow quarry]

No need to

If you got in you deserved it

[viscid pagoda]

i feel like imposter syndrome is so common but they might be looking for a specific class and somehow you fit in with what you already have, thats what I like to think atleast with half my schools

[upper raven]

is there a rutgers co29 discord

[waxen tulip]

are u low-income, instate or oos?

[rose thistle]

Yea instate

[waxen tulip]

low income?

that’s the only way u get scarlet guarantee

if ur 65k or below

[mortal beacon]

what will you do by joining it bro

[upper raven]

stfu bro ur always hating

go and finish ur boards

[dry narwhal]

is anyone here still waiting on financial aid?

my portal still says $0

I submitted my fafsa a bit late but shouldn't merit based aid for honors college be separate from that?

[opal egret]

rutgers aint that hard if someone with a qualified profile got cooked they probably fucked up real bad on their essay or something

[vestal arch]

i submitted my fafsa in november and mine says $0 lmao I don't think we getting anything

[vestal arch]

i mean rutty has no supplementals, u mean the commonapp essay?

[opal egret]

yes

i dont think they yield protect

already overcrowded

by fuck up real bad i don't mean like writing that isn't that compelling or good i mean like red flags or like insanely bad writing (shit ton of grammar/vocab mistakes)

[dry narwhal]

lol rip

wait are you in hc as well?

bc I thought they guaranteed at least 5k for that

[vestal arch]

no i got rejected

:/

[dry narwhal]

oh rip

are you going to appeal lol

[vestal arch]

someone else told me about it but i haven't researched it yet

dyk what u have to do?

[dry narwhal]

like once you get in?

[vestal arch]

nah how to appeal

[dry narwhal]

oh wait to appeal?

uh

[vestal arch]

yeah

wait did u send and delete immediately

tf

or am i hallucinating

[dry narwhal]

uh idk why it deleted

uh

[vestal arch]

gotchu thanks

[dry narwhal]

the link is in the pinned messages in this channel too

[finite kindle]

We don’t allow survey forms

I know you’re not posting your own personal one but 95% we get are so it gets automodded

So just message link the pin if you need it

Like this #1268285989626056845 message

[safe geyser]

would it be worth it to appeal rutgers scholarship if i applied after the december 1st deadline so wasn't considered?

[vestal arch]

probably not since it says no

[safe geyser]

damn that sucks

i prob would've qualified for one too 😭

[foggy river]

just appeal it

the worst they could do is ignore the appeal or reject it

[summer stream]

haha true guys

(in state 1490 sat double triple checked everything no apparent red flags and waitlisted from rbs)

💔

[stable drum]

if one school replies will an email be sent about an update?

[faint ocean]

actually???

bro what is up with rutgers

i thought it was a safety

[dense zinc]

dawg rutgers isnt a safety

[dense zinc]

tf ru saying 💀

[faint ocean]

huh?

isnt it like 60%

acceptance rate

[dense zinc]

😂

[faint ocean]

bro thats a safety is it not

im confused

[thick cedar]

right here w you

[dense zinc]

dawg its not 60%

ur behind a few years

[faint ocean]

wait whats the acceptance rate for engineering

[undone portal]

they admitted 35% of applicants in the ea round this yr

[dense zinc]

^

[winter jetty]

wait whats the rbs ar

[vestal arch]

For that guys statement to be true, qualified must mean 1550+ 4.0

[summer stream]

yeah and 9/10 of my ecs were related to industry

lol

[summer stream]

it is what it is guys

[summer stream]

glad to know im not alone 🥲

[dense zinc]

low 20% - 30%

[dense zinc]

dawg its not

i got a 1390 3.88/4.5

stats doesn't mean everything 😭

[vestal arch]

no of course u dont need those stats to get in

[summer stream]

obviously

[vestal arch]

i just mean "rutgers aint that hard if someone with a qualified profile got cooked they probably fucked up real bad on their essay or something"
if this is true then qualified must mean ur that good

[undone portal]

💀 💀 💀

what was ur gpa

[summer stream]

99 weighted

top 7%

[undone portal]

unweighted?

[summer stream]

school doesnt do unweighted

[undone portal]

oh

damn

[summer stream]

should be 4.0?

idk

[undone portal]

whats that equal to on a 4.0

oh

[summer stream]

4.0 4.0 lets just say that

[undone portal]

yea college admissions are random

did you apply finance in rbs

[summer stream]

ofc

business analytics iirc

i mean

[undone portal]

i applied to bait too

and got in for rbs nb

[summer stream]

not like i care that much i already got into neu ea too

[undone portal]

oh nice

[summer stream]

but i was opening the portal to the waitlist and was like

[dense zinc]

expensive ahh skool

[summer stream]

“are you fucking fr?”

[thick cedar]

my exact thoughts

was my safety school fr 😭

[summer stream]

is it worse for you

[undone portal]

i had like one business related ec, 3.57, 1490 in state

[summer stream]

nah fr 😭😭

[dense zinc]

dawg what

😭

[summer stream]

crazy work

yk whats even crazier

is that my good friend

[dense zinc]

safety school isnt a safety school unless ur directly admitted with certainty

[undone portal]

im still kinda in shock that rutgers took me for ece despite my poor chem/physics grades

[thick cedar]

i don't think most people think of it like this lol

[dense zinc]

yeah cause their ego 🤓

[thick cedar]

well

[dense zinc]

am i wrong

u could get rejected from a supposed safety school

[thick cedar]

no it's just extremely surprising when all your stats are like above average the undregraduate admissions from last year

[dense zinc]

admissions had other plans in mind

[thick cedar]

and dont tell me it's about my essay because i doubt they gaf unless you wrote some crazy shi

which i didn't lmfao so idk

[summer stream]

@thick cedar whatd you get waitlisted with

stat wise

💀

[thick cedar]

4.0 it was a 3.94 and 1440 sat

[dry narwhal]

that's like actually insane rip

esp with that gpa

[stable drum]

D:

[narrow quarry]

holy lie

mfw I spread false info on the a2c discord

[dense zinc]

yes

[narrow quarry]

i wonder what they consider qualified cuz

[stable drum]

wait no fr does it? haha

[narrow quarry]

i never got an email

For anything😭

[stable drum]

gurl

[narrow quarry]

actually Newark did

But

New Brunswick didn’t

[stable drum]

oh shi

Newark did a day after?

or

[narrow quarry]

i got this the day I got into newark

but nothing like this for New Brunswick

honestly it might’ve been

i didn’t check the portal

i just saw the email

[stable drum]

when did u apply

no response for Newark?

ahhh okay

thx 🩷

[analog blaze]

it definitely is

I mean almost everyone gets in in-state. I just did all reaches + rutgers since it was the only safety i needed

[mellow drum]

that’s not true

i knew someone with similar stats to me and she got waitlisted

i got in + hc

it is really not a safety

[stable drum]

i'll be honest: it has tht safety thing for ppl who are overachievers
but not everyone can do tht and so, trust, it is not a safety unless you're like super high gpa and even then

especially has a weird reputation in-state

[analog blaze]

i mean

with a scattergram like that it seems to be a safety imo

[dense zinc]

dawg its not

[dense zinc]

regardless of what in state ppl say rutgers is a solid school

ya

but its starting to become harder

its not safety status

[analog blaze]

noone thinks it’s not a good school

[dense zinc]

no

theres ppl who think

it sucks

[analog blaze]

acceptance rate ≠ good

it’s not really selective it’s good cuz of location and hc and stuff

[dense zinc]

its getting selective

[analog blaze]

rutgers > umich

[dense zinc]

nah

def not

overall its still umich

but for the price id go to rutgers most likely

[analog blaze]

rutgers is still 60k oos

[dry narwhal]

isn't umich like 80k though

[analog blaze]

yeah but rutgers is still expensive

[dry narwhal]

yeah fair

[eternal willow]

any public school charging more than like. $30k for oos is insane lol

[opal egret]

bro 35% is assuming

[analog blaze]

inflation is crazy

[opal egret]

the number of apps doubled while the yield rate stayed the same

which doesnt happen anywhere

[analog blaze]

if I’m paying 60k/yr i expect a world class buffet every meal

[opal egret]

it might be like 45-50% it's not 35%

[dry narwhal]

rutgers is like 30k in state 💀

[analog blaze]

I better get ribeyes every single day

[opal egret]

saying rutgers is 35% is kinda copium

[analog blaze]

it is 35% because of commonapp

[opal egret]

it's not 35%

[eternal willow]

it’s not really inflation, it’s schools realizing they can make more money by charging a ton for oos students combined with state governments not giving public universities enough funding

[opal egret]

the number of apps doubled if u assume the yield rate stays the same then it's 35% but yield never stays the same

it always drops a shit ton when there's that much of an increase in apps

most ppl applying to rutgers on CA won't go

[eternal willow]

which is still way too much for a public school that was founded to provide education at a lower cost for local students lol

[opal egret]

they're just shotgunning because there's no supps and it's a good safety

[eternal willow]

with all due respect no oos school with an acceptance rate below 80% is a safety

[stable drum]

what do we think of oregon fr fr

[eternal willow]

rare example of a public school actually giving scholarships

[stable drum]

what do we think of ru-n fr fr

[opal egret]

i got straight rejected at uiuc deferred from purdue fye and probably cooked for every t15 engineering school i applied to but i got rutgers rd a month early and i accidetnally deleted my ec list before applying and only filled up half of it before submitting

[analog blaze]

r u an hs senior

[opal egret]

💀

[stable drum]

Nah

[eternal willow]

a2c user discovers target schools

[opal egret]

it's not a target

[analog blaze]

what even are targets anymore

it feels like everything is a reach

[opal egret]

i got into rutgers with like 4 ecs listed bro

😭

[analog blaze]

i thought bu, unc and uva were targets but hell naw

[stable drum]

damn man

[opal egret]

i filled up my list for every other school except boulder

i didnt bother for rutgers

[eternal willow]

schools with acceptance rates between ~30-60% (or higher if you’re applying to public schools oos)

you’re assuming that your experience equates to every other person who applies to rutgers

[opal egret]

target means u have a 50/50 chance of getting in

[analog blaze]

any examples

[eternal willow]

well no

[analog blaze]

target means you you’re within their avg stats

[opal egret]

i got into every school i applied that was rutgers level

[analog blaze]

safety means they should be giving you money to attend

[stable drum]

are y'all in-state?

[eternal willow]

bu has an acceptance rate of like 12% and 80% of unc students have to be in-state lol

[opal egret]

reach means u have a higher chance of getting rejected than getting in

target means 50/50

[eternal willow]

that’s not how statistics work

[opal egret]

safety means almost certainly

[eternal willow]

there’s no 50/50 chance with admissions lol

[stable drum]

yea

[eternal willow]

that’s why targets are ~30-60%

sometimes higher

[opal egret]

rutgers is definitely a safety idk what to say

[dry narwhal]

stats are kind of irrelevant for like top schools though

[stable drum]

it depends on ur stats

[eternal willow]

me when i lie

[stable drum]

for me, it isn't a safety at all haha

[opal egret]

if u r oos they want ur money

it's probably easier for oos than instate

ngl i think it's a target for instate

[stable drum]

well, we also have to understand the context that for several OOS students, Rutgers can be their target school too. i heard of the story of this person from Midwest who got into rutgers and everyone in their school was telling the how smart they were in the first place

[opal egret]

that would make sense

[opal egret]

ppl commonly think rutgers is an ivy for some reason idk why

that alos happens with purdue

even i thought rutgers was like 20% ar t30 or something before last year

[eternal willow]

i promise you nobody thinks this

[winter jetty]

wait fr???

[opal egret]

bro it's not true

it's like 40-50%

ik ppl that have gotten cooked everywhere else that got rutgers

rutgers is pretty decent but like it's nowhere near as selective as that lol

[stable drum]

it's def target for us in-state

[winter jetty]

LMAO

[opal egret]

i will literally foia rutgers just to prove this wrong

[dense zinc]

60k> 80k

[dense zinc]

yes

according to sources

[opal egret]

u have to be trolling

[dense zinc]

(I dont know what sources 🔥 )

dawg does it matter

😭

[stable drum]

it diesn't really

[dense zinc]

the conclusion is rutgers is getting harder

[opal egret]

rutgers being 30% ar is a cope by ppl who got cooked at goated state schools

[dense zinc]

we dont needa get into the nitty bitty fitty gritty chitty details

[dense zinc]

dawg

💀

[opal egret]

even i got cooked but i aint coping by telling myself this

[dense zinc]

elitist ahh

we arent coping?

[eternal willow]

sorry that you feel personally insulted that you got into rutgers but this is an insane crash out

[dense zinc]

💀

fr

i applied to a ton of the state schools cause i knew they were good

instead of the super top schools

plus undergrad is not as important as grad school

[eternal willow]

a2c students when they realize that literally every research 1 school offers a great education regardless of acceptance rate

[dense zinc]

so if u get into a solid undergrad then ur fine

[opal egret]

if u got waitlisted sas ill withdraw it rn

ngl

[stable drum]

haha i didnt apply for sas

[opal egret]

i think rutgers is a target for instate unironically idt it's hard for oos

[stable drum]

yea

oh of course not

[winter jetty]

is it harder for in state than oos?

[opal egret]

they dont give oos much money it makes sense

[dense zinc]

💀

[stable drum]

whats ur dream/target school @opal egret

[dense zinc]

"harvard"

its only a safety for him

[opal egret]

after getting cooked hard at uiuc probably uw madison

[dense zinc]

dawg who deleted messages

💀

[stable drum]

me

haha

[opal egret]

high target

[kindred quiver]

Ruh ruh ruh rutgers

[dense zinc]

why 😭

ruh ruh ruh RUTTY

[stable drum]

ocd's a bitch

[opal egret]

ill become depressed if i get cooked there

ngl

[kindred quiver]

Really I got 32k

[stable drum]

that's good

[dense zinc]

financial aid huh

ur not middle class

lucky you

[stable drum]

then u can come to nj

[kindred quiver]

No merit aid

[dense zinc]

(for this)

bruh

[winter jetty]

uw madison cooked our school so hard 😭

[stable drum]

we'll give u a warm welcome

[kindred quiver]

I am

[dense zinc]

no way 😭

32k in merit

[kindred quiver]

Yeah oos

[dense zinc]

i got $0

[opal egret]

are u wisco resident

[dense zinc]

oh hell nah

[kindred quiver]

It was like 20 k a year or something

[dense zinc]

give me 5% of that 🔥

[kindred quiver]

Cheaper than my state school

[winter jetty]

no but im in the region around it where we technically get instate tuition

[kindred quiver]

Unfortunately or fortunately I did not attend

[dense zinc]

attend what

[stable drum]

that's cool

[winter jetty]

i think they lowered it now tho but its still cheaper

[opal egret]

ive heard state schools care a lot about yield

[stable drum]

interstingly nj gets instate tuition for the cunys

[kindred quiver]

Ruthers

[analog blaze]

makes sense i only got into uva of those 3

[opal egret]

if ur from a school that produces low yield they might cook you

[kindred quiver]

Not really

[dense zinc]

oh wait ur in college al ready

oops

im tripping

[kindred quiver]

Yessir

[winter jetty]

no our school has good yield

a ton of people apply and a ton of people go

[opal egret]

unc and uva are targets if ur instate

[analog blaze]

wait did you get a columbia likely letter

[opal egret]

bu is not a target unless ur a genius

[winter jetty]

who

[analog blaze]

uva instate is 25% somehow

[analog blaze]

you?

[winter jetty]

ohhh no likely but columbia ao called my counselor

[stable drum]

i feel like it should honestly be the opposite but that's coping lmfao

[winter jetty]

my friend got one last year march 10 i think

[analog blaze]

crazy

I don’t even talk to my counselor 💀

[kindred quiver]

Crazyyyy

[winter jetty]

they wanted to verify my circumstances and character and stuff

[kindred quiver]

Same I only talked to mine bc of other issues

[kindred quiver]

🔥

[winter jetty]

LMAO i ran into my counselor and she just told me that i dont talk to her very often either

[analog blaze]

yeah like public school counselors are impossible to talk to

[stable drum]

funny stupid story but im a first gen (and also an immigrant) so i didnt know abt universities and one time in hs in my journalism class they were like oh we're going on a trip to columbia and i was like after class, damn, y'all going to south america? they was like wtf. idk just funny story ig lmao

[kindred quiver]

Yeah each one has like 500 kids

[winter jetty]

yeah im surprised my counselor remembers me that well 😭

[analog blaze]

I lowkey emailed them to ask if my ed school requested for transcripts and they waited a weak to say “haha no”

[winter jetty]

tbf she did write my rec letter tho so

[kindred quiver]

Lowkey if I was a counselor I’d talk about anyone even if I had no idea who they r

[analog blaze]

yeah but rhat’s just the brag sheet

[winter jetty]

this is true LMFAOO

[analog blaze]

are you a mod?

[kindred quiver]

Yeah just on break

Finals week soon sadly

[stable drum]

u go to ru @kindred quiver ?

[analog blaze]

lmao, my cousin goes there and a family friend asked if there were cartels there

[winter jetty]

columbia colombia

[analog blaze]

and I don’t think he ever found out about columbia vs colombia

[kindred quiver]

No I just saw chat was popping and wanted to checkin

[stable drum]

lmfaooo nah fr, it's a nice college tho.

[stable drum]

where u go?

[analog blaze]

campus on lockdown is :/

[kindred quiver]

My state school!

[eternal willow]

the other school in la

[kindred quiver]

Oh!

[winter jetty]

what if instead of calling it columbia university in new york we start calling it cuny (pronounced suny)

[stable drum]

legend

[kindred quiver]

I am going to keck I feel it

[eternal willow]

referring to it as your state school is so funny

[eternal willow]

YAYYYYYYYYYYY

[kindred quiver]

Thanks king/queen

[kindred quiver]

I am trying to be less doxxable

[analog blaze]

cuny vs suny ithaca

[kindred quiver]

I like keck’s mission a lot

[eternal willow]

the state school undergrad -> usc grad school pipeline is very real

[kindred quiver]

Yeah actually a good amount of keck’s class is ucla

[analog blaze]

I wish rutgers gave more money for hc

5k is nothing

[kindred quiver]

Cause keck focuses a lot more on community health vs research universities

[kindred quiver]

They give hella

[winter jetty]

yeah 5k barely cuts down on the oos tuition for me

[kindred quiver]

Depending on the scholarship

[analog blaze]

can’t believe they halved it this year

it’s 5k or full ride

[kindred quiver]

Dang that’s sad

[eternal willow]

half of the recommended connections on my linkedin are people who graduated from ucla last year/are graduating this year and are going to usc for grad

[winter jetty]

rutgers is 28k/yr for me with scholarship, sjsu is 19k/yr with no scholarship 😭

[analog blaze]

yeah at that point rut isn’t worth

also cs @ rut isn’t as good as sjsu

[stable drum]

do y'all think for academia or for like, in general, it matters if you go to Nb or N? like, idk

[analog blaze]

no

you get the same degree

just that newark is a commuter campus

[kindred quiver]

Lolll real asf ucla doesn’t like taking their own bruins ☹️

[analog blaze]

social life is dif

[kindred quiver]

Crazy

Sjsu is a different experience fs

[stable drum]

what is sjsu?

[analog blaze]

i wish i applied to ucla

good food

[kindred quiver]

No my ta rn is a grad student at ucla and went to like njit or something

[stable drum]

oooh san jose that's like so cool

[analog blaze]

but i did mot wanna write. 4 sssays

[winter jetty]

i got in bait rbs and also cs, idk if bait rbs is worth picking over cs@sjsu

[kindred quiver]

Yeah it’s fire asf

[winter jetty]

yeah the one thing for me is, sjsu is a commuter school

[stable drum]

daaaaaaaaaaaamn

[winter jetty]

well i hope march decisions go well

san jose state university

[kindred quiver]

Also expensive asf oos

[stable drum]

i got accepted into njit

[kindred quiver]

Would not rec if you’re oos

[kindred quiver]

🔥

[stable drum]

but they didn't accept my transfer credits and didn't really have a major i liked

[analog blaze]

columbia looks good

[kindred quiver]

Dang that’s too bad

[dry narwhal]

lol

[stable drum]

which is weird af considering im in-state

[kindred quiver]

They will dw

[dry narwhal]

I wrote like 3 of mine in like 2 hours

[kindred quiver]

My ea was so trash

[analog blaze]

rbs doesn’t have as good outcomes as you’d expext

[kindred quiver]

Rd clutched up

[dry narwhal]

and reused my common app for the last one

[analog blaze]

only 80k avg salary

I’m considering uva since high 90s vs 80k is a big difference dor outcomes

[winter jetty]

haha i hope so

[analog blaze]

but over 4 years cost dif of 180k

[stable drum]

what about princeton

[winter jetty]

peeton!

[analog blaze]

what about it

[stable drum]

did u apply there

[analog blaze]

yeah

[kindred quiver]

I have a lot of friends at uva

They really like it

[analog blaze]

princeton feels impossible

[kindred quiver]

Princeton seems depressing asf

[winter jetty]

princeton was my best interview but worst application 😭

[analog blaze]

grade inflation bad but campus is pretty

[stable drum]

i would've loved to go there considering it's in-state and kinda help a lot financially

[analog blaze]

all my interviews were mid

[kindred quiver]

What r all your top choices

[stable drum]

ru

[analog blaze]

yale (no interview), brown, duke

[stable drum]

that's pretty much haha

[analog blaze]

I want brown and duke because I want to be happy

I need grade inflation

[kindred quiver]

WWW good luck

[kindred quiver]

I love dukeeeee

They wl me last yr though

[analog blaze]

@stable drum do you go to rutgers newark or nb?

[stable drum]

thx ! <<3333

[stable drum]

none

[analog blaze]

oh wait what

[stable drum]

i have an associate's

[analog blaze]

You go to cc?

[stable drum]

went to cc in-state

[analog blaze]

aohh

so you’re transferring

did you apply to anywhere but rutgers?

[stable drum]

pretty much

haha

[analog blaze]

what about njit or tcnj

[stable drum]

well, i did get in njit

tcnj is kinda far from me

i plan to commute and the closest to me is newark and nb

[analog blaze]

on campus tcnj isn’t too expensive tho

newark prolly best commuter campus

new brunswick bus situation is horrendous

[stable drum]

just waiting atm haha

you're from nj?

[analog blaze]

well gl

I am

[stable drum]

<3 thx haha

[stable drum]

hope u get into yale and if not, brown, and if not, duke

[analog blaze]

aww ty

not getting into yale tho, still hopefully on a duke/brown/cornell A 🤞

[stable drum]

brown has Native American and Indigenous Studies which is like

such an specific major but man

i would study tht no question asked fr

[analog blaze]

they have crazy majors

and the build your own major tjing

[stable drum]

yea

[analog blaze]

when do transfer decisions come out

[stable drum]

no later than april 1st

[analog blaze]

are you nervous?

[stable drum]

i applied on the deadline too

oh man

[analog blaze]

I think nj community colleges are super nice

[stable drum]

i am soooo fucking biting my nails haha but i am patient

i'm thankful with whatever outcome tbf <3

[analog blaze]

wait i might get doxxed from that

[stable drum]

nah it's okay

i went to the one near morris

[dry narwhal]

ccm?

[stable drum]

nope

[analog blaze]

i lowkey don’t like staying nj tho

[stable drum]

it's a county close to morris

see, that's how you don't dox urself

haha

[analog blaze]

i kinda wanna go oos

[stable drum]

hope u get into those three

or cornell

[analog blaze]

new experiences ykwim?

[stable drum]

yea

i would've gone oos maybe, have i had different circumstances and financial aid haha

but i love it here

[analog blaze]

I still appreciate nj for having a good state school I can rely on, being from new mexico or smn would kill me

[analog blaze]

a lot of privates are super generous with fin aid

especially LACs

[stable drum]

i remember i applied to maine and got in. tbf it ain't like the BEST or whatever, but i was trash academically on hs so i'm glad an OOS at least wanted me lols

[stable drum]

tru tru

[analog blaze]

I wonder how admissions got to how it is now

I was talking to an alum from my school from like mid 2010s and they told me they got into ucsd with a 2.6 gpa

[stable drum]

bigger population = more applications = more competition

[analog blaze]

that’s basically unheard of these days

[summer stream]

committing to bergen community college

💔

[stable drum]

bro congratufuckilations

[analog blaze]

too many damn children 🙏

[stable drum]

do what i did

cc then transfer

met someone who went to CC

then transferred to columbia

[analog blaze]

camden cc is where it’s at

[stable drum]

and another one transferred to princeton

in other words

CC is basically a second chance

[analog blaze]

cc is the financially smart decision

if i could do over i would go to cc

save that money for 2 years then transfer to t25

[stable drum]

btw you didn't hear it from me :princeton loves its nj transfer cc students:

[summer stream]

if i didnt dump the last 4 years doing far too many ecs and other stuff for my own good id def consider it

[analog blaze]

cuz 10k vs 90k/yr is crazy

[summer stream]

but whatever

maybe in another life idk

[stable drum]

although they love their veterans a bit more but tbf

[analog blaze]

princeton does love nj ccs

[stable drum]

i always say circumstances happen for a reason

[summer stream]

obviously

[analog blaze]

veterans get priority for good reason in master’s programs too
