GI bill helps i think

stable drum
#

yep

summer stream
#

life will always have its mysterious ways

analog blaze
#

lol same

stable drum
#

not me remembering how i almost got groomed from the Marines when i was a senior in hs lol

analog blaze
#

also I feel judged

stable drum
#

oh trust

analog blaze
#

ROTC seems even scarier

stable drum
#

anyways i'm glad i got my associate's for now, that's pretty much how i got my current job

analog blaze
#

nice

#

shoot it’s 1 am

winter jetty
#

yale columbia !

faint ocean
#

35??

#

holy shit

#

im oos with 0 ecs related to my major and i got into engineering for nb

#

lowk thought that if a mid person like me could get in then the acc rate must not be very low

opal egret
#

atleast not for oos

narrow quarry
#

rutgers

honest thorn
#

bro it's a good school and high AR != bad school, and what is this obsession with low AR

opal egret
#

it's not bad but it's not selective

honest thorn
#

so?

opal egret
#

ppl shouldn't cope by pretending it's selective

#

i mean it's good

#

it's definitely not 30% ar

#

😭

honest thorn
#

yeah

#

but Rutgers is huge

opal egret
#

that was my only point

honest thorn
#

and high AR != bad school

opal egret
opal egret
#

bad schools with low ar

#

actually

#

northeastern

honest thorn
opal egret
#

true

honest thorn
#

and Rutgers location is goated 🙏

#

@opal egret rn what are your options?

opal egret
#

ngl im kinda cooked rn

#

i mean im not cooked but like i expected better

#

like i thought id get 2nd major uiuc but i got straight cooked somehow

honest thorn
honest thorn
#

rej

opal egret
#

bro i got mech + mat sci reject imagine how cooked i am

honest thorn
opal egret
#

maybe i couldve gotten mat sci in ea

#

it has a 50% ar for matsci so i was kinda shocked

#

mech was 16%

#

so i was kind of expecting

#

act sorry i changed my first major to eng undeclared

#

which is 25%

honest thorn
opal egret
#

did u do rd

honest thorn
opal egret
#

nah uiuc

honest thorn
#

no

#

EA CS

opal egret
#

i did rutgers rd

#

but i got it early

#

somehow

#

💀

honest thorn
opal egret
#

did u do pure cs?

#

damn

honest thorn
opal egret
#

yea that's always cooked

#

cs+x u could've gotten in probably ea

#

cs+x is much easier

honest thorn
opal egret
#

if u have some related ecs to the x part

opal egret
#

i have the data

#

but cs+x is cooked rd

honest thorn
#

but you gotta have ECs related to X

#

i didn't so.. yea

#

rn my options are Rutgers CS, UMN CSE. Waiting for Madison

dense zinc
opal egret
#

hopefully we both get madison

honest thorn
opal egret
#

no i applied rd

#

madison rd is fine right

#

idk after uiuc

#

😭

honest thorn
#

I got deferred so my chances are high too

narrow quarry
#

it’s definitely selective what are you even saying

opal egret
#

i got hard cooked everywhere else bruh i got admitted twice to rutgers a month early 😭

#

maybe soe and sas r easier idk

narrow quarry
#

it’s just dumb how their admissions work

#

but hella people with good stats didn’t get in

#

there’s 150% rng in their admissions in some way

opal egret
#

i got purdue defer uiuc L ut austin L like im not cooking at all

narrow quarry
opal egret
#

purdue doesnt take anyone in rd

#

it might as well be a rejection

foggy river
#

i kept indy as first preference

#

thats like a blessing in disguise atp

opal egret
#

if i get purdue god is real

#

ngl

foggy river
#

purdue pete gonna carry us all 🙏

opal egret
#

i think out of state is easier or like soe and sas arent that hard

analog blaze
analog blaze
#

RU screw is real

opal egret
#

y is tulane so hard

#

for no reason

#

idgi

#

their overall ranking sucks

#

their program rankings also suck

#

the difficulty has no roi

undone portal
opal egret
#

cs+physics is the hardest one btw

undone portal
# opal egret my guy

i got denied from a 50% acceptance rate cs+x major despite having an insane spike in my x

#

its literally a lottery atp

opal egret
#

did u do rd

#

yea rd is cooked

#

if u apply cs+x ea it's not hard

undone portal
#

got rejected in ea

opal egret
#

idk just unlucky then

undone portal
#

yea

opal egret
#

which one

#

?

undone portal
#

cs+geography and geographical information science

#

im pretty sure its the smallest of the cs+x's

opal egret
undone portal
#

oh

#

damn

#

33.3%

#

wtf

#

fuck

#

well i mean

#

💀

#

its worse than i thought

opal egret
#

yea the ones u expect least to be cooked are

undone portal
#

the thing is everyone i knew expected that i would get in 💀

#

like i had crazy geo stuff on my app

#

still got rejected

undone portal
# opal egret

can you send the full document of where you found this

stable drum
#

anyone knows when transfer decisions are?

opal egret
undone portal
stable drum
#

wait

stable drum
opal egret
#

that's uiuc

#

not rutgers

stable drum
#

ah

#

okay tht makes sense

analog blaze
#

cs + x is self selecting

opal egret
#

bro self selection cannot cause the cs ar to be 6x lower

vestal arch
#

dawg just cus u got in and u got honors college doesnt mean its a safety and that everyone will get honors college 😭 🙏

viscid pagoda
#

Lol I thought rutgers was a safety as a junior but its def not after this year lmaooo

#

with common app and all, its gonna get more competitive probably idk

vestal arch
#

it already has bro

#

37% or sumn for all campuses

viscid pagoda
#

yeahh that itself is insane

#

im oos and ive never seen this many people apply until commonapp existed for it

no fucking shot no way

onyx lion
#

rbs is that low??

#

this is fucking insane all the stem kids in my school got in

crystal pawn
#

maybe at your school/region they're more common, but it's pretty...out of touch to say that people with those stats (which are very competitive) are the norm, which they most certainly arent

onyx lion
#

to rbs

analog blaze
onyx lion
#

or not all but a lot

analog blaze
#

it’s really a shocker to not get in instate with good stats

crystal pawn
#

and to a certain degree comparing GPA's isn't really accurate, since there's no nation wide standard

crystal pawn
#

Rutgers isn't an insanely selective school (no one's saying that), but it has gotten more selective, so people with lower/more mid level stats that might have been in easy in the past might have a rougher time and higher competition in the coming years

#

and safeties are also relative

#

to a certain extent most people who care enough to be in this server also tend to be the more competitive applicants (and may also come from more competitive school districts where the average stats are higher), but that doesn't take into account students who don't have the same level of stats, who for the reasons I mentioned, you might not have encountered, and so it seems like "everyone gets in"

analog blaze
crystal pawn
#

they're similar enough most of the time that you can get a decent estimate of whether someone's GPA is "good" or not, sure.

Never thought I’d get into selective school 😭

for rbs atleast'

and I’m in state

#

especially SOE and pharm

vestal arch
#

yup

analog blaze
#

jp stevens is weird tho

#

idk why their placement is like that even tho there are so many high test score kids

#

maybe my part of nj is just less comp

narrow quarry
#

LMFAOOO

analog blaze
#

yeah no there’s like at least 3 jp stevens kids on this server

goofy school

what is that

jp stevens, sweaty high school in edison

it’s like 70% indian

oh cool

when i was a senior i went to hs with a freshman kid who was cool and all, we was in marching band and shit and he ended up going to harvard no kidding

oh wait you’re that guy

#

the one who lashed out at tyler because you didn’t get into hc and claimed it was cuz of some scarlet promise shi

#

by the way why would I be upset about that? I’m not low income to that extent?

stable drum
#

wait

#

guys

#

quick question

#

does rutgers offers interdisciplinary major path?

polar sand
#

Yall chill lmao

polar sand
stable drum
#

ru-nb and ru-n?

polar sand
#

Not sure but I did see some interdisciplinary majors in math

stable drum
#

its cuz ru-n doesnt have that many majors that are like interesting to me like religion, comp lit, or cognitive science

polar sand
#

I haven’t explored the majors yet

analog blaze
stable drum
#

i think you can?

#

but tbf i want the major haha

polar sand
stable drum
#

as in

polar sand
#

I’d just search up majors offered by those schools

stable drum
#

i havent received an answer

#

lol

analog blaze
#

You get the same degree from either campus i think

polar sand
#

Oh still? Bro what are they doing lmao

stable drum
#

not even from newark

analog blaze
#

it’s a diff timeline

polar sand
#

I haven’t looked into the schools properly idk what im gonna choose

stable drum
#

u got in?

polar sand
#

I’m a first year student

#

I got into rbs sas and engineering

stable drum
#

shit man thats cool

#

wish ru-n had comp lit

polar sand
#

Or is it too late?

stable drum
#

i can

#

i'm a very optimistic person

#

but also don't have the statistics for nb sas in all fairness

#

who knows though

polar sand
#

No harm in trying

stable drum
#

exactly

polar sand
#

If you can attend nb classes then I’d say you should go for it before the deadline

#

im curious

tribal raven
#

did rutgers get like 2x more competitive or 😭

dense zinc
#

yes

#

it did

narrow quarry
#

that’s the overall

vestal arch
#

all campuses

analog blaze
#

just nb

#

newark and camden are way higher

#

I honestly don’t know anyone who didn’t get into camden lol

#

camden’s like the ut el paso of the northeast

narrow quarry
#

they’d have to pay me to go to camden

#

not even being cocky or anything

#

it’s just such a bad area to be in

stark bobcat
#

they are paying me and i still wont go

#

honestly

analog blaze
#

I value my life

narrow quarry
#

Not even

#

Have you seen Camden

#

It looks like a ghost town

analog blaze
#

it’s the hood

narrow quarry
#

It has so much potential too

#

It’s in a great location

analog blaze
#

That’s why I don’t go further south than trenton

narrow quarry
#

But the city is just so bad

analog blaze
#

atlantic city is wasted potential

#

literal ghost town

red fog
lime zodiac
# vestal arch all campuses

almost certain the actual numbers will be higher. they let in more people because they know a lot of oos wont end up going

red fog
narrow quarry
#

it’s even crazier because 2 years ago it was like 65-70%

#

For NB

red fog
#

Yea man, they been doubting this school, 3 years from now it’ll be on the public ivy tier

tribal raven

#

gonna decline my cs acceptance for engineering, praying it goes to one of yall🤞

boreal urchin
#

do acceptances roll down

#

or does it go to the ppl in the waitlist

undone portal
#

oh

#

ur gonna commit to the school of engineering

#

?

lime zodiac

or at least im sure im not going to do cs, it was my backup

undone portal
#

Oh I see

safe geyser
#

or at least not bad

faint ocean
#

NO WAY

#

thats ridiculous

#

i dont believe it

#

rutgers aint all that bro who do they think they are 😭 🙏

narrow quarry
#

but even 35% for just NB is crazy

lime zodiac
vestal arch
#

they were

#

harvard, yale, princeton, columbia, upenn, brown, w&m, dartmouth, and rutgers

analog blaze
#

one of these names is not like the others

#

I’m talking about william and mary

narrow quarry
lime zodiac
#

harvard is an ivy

safe geyser
#

places in surrounding area are worse tho

#

it is just dead quiet aside from rutgers students tho 😭

vestal arch
#

rutgers and william and mary had sm potential

foggy river
#

the one and only ivy league 🙏

narrow quarry
#

i was saying

#

rutgers is a real Ivy over Harvard

#

jokingly

foggy river
#

hell yeah

stable drum
#

quick question

#

if y'all know

#

does it matter if u do ur undergrad in an R2 instead of an R1 in like research and shi?

vestal arch
#

does anything really matter

#

it all depends on how u make use of ur resources and what ur later aspirations are

stark bobcat
#

nothing really mattersss 🎵

stable drum
vestal arch
#

i tried so hard

#

and got so far

#

but in the end

stable drum
#

wait i think ur referencing linkin park and im referencing madonna

#

lmao

vestal arch
#

it doesnt even matter 🥲

#

i know

#

lmao

stable drum
#

if we sat and i showed you two pills

#

and one of them was rugers newark and the other one njit

#

which would you choose

analog blaze
#

water

#

I’m going to community college then transfering

#

rutgers >>> w&m tho and it’s not even close

stable drum
stable drum
analog blaze
#

yeah, but like the 3rd best in their state

narrow quarry
analog blaze
#

uva > vtech > w&m

stable drum
#

uva is public too?

analog blaze
#

tech/it -> njit
business > rbs newark

#

anything else is a bit iffy but probably rutgers for any other humanities cuz it has more resources

stark bobcat
stable drum
stark bobcat
#

close enough

stable drum
#

i got into njit but for a non-it major but i spoke w em and they were like yea, you can change anyways so it's like oh well

narrow quarry
analog blaze
#

cs job market cheeks rn

#

lowkey switch to newark

narrow quarry
#

it’s cheeks if you don’t do anything to make yourself stand out

analog blaze
#

njit seems nice with aid tho because my only acquaintance who applied there got a full ride

stable drum
#

so i did communications associates so i was like EH i might as well apply to njit but i didnt think too much of it and suddenly i got in and i was like woah wtf

narrow quarry
#

they emailed me like 4 months after I applied and told me I didn’t send my SAT

#

so I think that’s why they waitlisted me

#

cuz I swore I clicked test op

stable drum
#

and then this person was so damn nice and contacted me and it was like giving me a schedule on how my classes would be and i was like yeah, what if I want to change majors? and they were like, yeah, you can.

#

so kudos to NJIT for being organized (at least on my experience)

stable drum
#

but the advisor was like, if you want to change to let's say, IT, or CS or anything like that, you can

narrow quarry
#

NJIT is cool

#

campus looks way better than Rutgers

stable drum
#

Brother

#

I

#

Agree

narrow quarry
#

Rutgers Newark campus is non existent

#

it’s just some grass outside of the library

stable drum
#

I went to visit last time I was there and RU-N was like, smaller than I thought. It was sad.

narrow quarry
#

Atleast NJIT has open space

stable drum
#

But NJIT one was like so full of shit

#

good shit

thick cedar
#

njit buns fr

stable drum
#

like i'm not into IT or any STEM which sucks because NJIt aint that bad at all

#

heard of a guy who went to Caltech who got a job along with someone from NJIT so it's like, it doesn't matter at the end ykwim

narrow quarry
#

that’s

#

actually pretty crazy

stable drum
#

Yep

#

I ain't lying at all haha

narrow quarry
#

sarcasm?

stable drum
#

Nononono

#

I am being serious xD

narrow quarry
#

well

#

that just shows college is not abt the degree

#

it’s abt what you do

stable drum
#

It really isn't

analog blaze
#

except finance

stable drum
#

damn NJIT

#

if y’all had an audio engineering type shit I would’ve gone cuz at least that falls under my interests

#

but yea

narrow quarry
stable drum
#

Is RBS a target in Finance?

analog blaze
#

no

narrow quarry
#

nepo baby + daddy donating a building to a target school = successful finance career

stable drum
#

I know Baruch is kinda like one?

#

Like employers think it is

narrow quarry
analog blaze
#

no

narrow quarry
#

but it’s like mid tier ig

stable drum
#

Damn

narrow quarry
#

for finance

stable drum
#

Good thing about the CUNYs is that you get in-state tuition

#

And those are like the cheapest in NY

narrow quarry
#

rutgers is free if ur under 65k income

#

(if u commute)

stable drum
#

have y’all had any responses yet? from like ur choices

narrow quarry
#

yes

#

basically everything

analog blaze
#

rutgers alr sent out ea results

narrow quarry
#

just waiting on TCNJ and Syracuse

#

not going to either but

analog blaze
#

wait are you the transfer dude?

narrow quarry
#

just wanna see if I get in

#

uhhhhh

#

i don’t think so

stable drum
#

I am the transfer dude

analog blaze
#

I’m sorry I’m bad with usernames

i enrolled in RBS Newark but changed my mind

analog blaze
#

I thought you’re a rbs newark commit

stable drum
analog blaze
#

ty

narrow quarry
#

better financially for me

stable drum
#

That was my plan

#

^^

narrow quarry
#

🙏🙏🙏

#

i know I made the right choice

#

i kept second guessing my decision for RU Newark

#

and I would pay more

#

and I’d be stuck in business

stable drum
#

Nah bro trust

#

If you make less than 65K

#

Assuming u do

#

You get free CC

narrow quarry
#

yeah I’m getting paid to go

#

to cc

#

probably

stable drum
#

EOF?

narrow quarry
#

my Pell is way over the tuition

stable drum
#

apply to EOF

narrow quarry
#

im elible

stable drum
#

great

narrow quarry
#

eligible

stable drum
#

Smart man

narrow quarry
#

what does that do if it’s alr free?

stable drum
#

Pay you to study

narrow quarry
#

would I just get paid even more to go

#

ohhhh

#

that’s good

stable drum
#

I was EOF CC student

#

yep

narrow quarry
#

my Pell is close to maxed

#

so

#

id get a pretty good amount

stable drum
#

Yep

narrow quarry
#

which would cover my dorms for my last 2 years

#

or most of it

stable drum
#

Exactly

narrow quarry
#

and scarlet guarantee would cover my tuition

#

ah I love being poor sometimes

stable drum
#

haven’t received an answer yet but if RBS Newark says come, I’ll go lol

narrow quarry
#

no jk I hate it

#

if I was rich

#

id be able to go to my dream school

stable drum
#

maybe in the future for a phd or masters

narrow quarry
#

being good enough to get into ur dream school but not being able to afford it is top 1 worst feelings

stable drum
#

what is ur dream school

narrow quarry
#

ohio state

#

i got in for finance out of state

stable drum
#

Ahhh, that’s cool

narrow quarry
#

but it’s like

#

insanely expensive OOS

stable drum
#

Can’t imagine :(

#

Well

#

Maybe in the future

narrow quarry
#

maybe

#

my kids will

#

when I’m rich

#

and carry on my dream

stable drum
#

just do ur best at cc

#

you got this

narrow quarry
#

well it’s guaranteed transfer haha

#

so all I need is my associates

stable drum
#

ahhhh

narrow quarry
#

but I’m def gonna lock in and knock out the pre reqs

stable drum
#

nvm then, do it do it fr

narrow quarry
#

so I can focus on my major at Rutgers

faint ocean
#

so basically i can go around saying i got into a wannabe ivy

Not sure how good it is for CS tho, that’s why I’m not considering it in my decision

foggy river
#

rutgers cs is reputable

#

but class sizes are just cursedmoon

stable drum
#

In-state CS

#

If you really are loaded af you’d probably consider Stevens but trust, NJIT has good shit too

foggy river
#

rutgers would be worth it

#

if u get honors

#

as an oos

#

or else u got better options ig

narrow quarry
#

Stevens >

#

But it’s crazy expensive

Is Rutgers worth it out of state tuition?

From Illinois btw

Not worth the cost right?

Unless you get a free ride from NJIT. I’ve heard stories of people getting accepted to other universities and showing that to NJIT, and they’re like “you know what, come here for free wth” so that’s always an option too lolz

#

What major?

flat forge
stable drum
#

Did you apply to IIT?

flat forge
#

I got into UIC

stable drum
#

WHAA bro

#

Go to that one!

flat forge
#

But it’s lowkey just a commuter school bruh

#

I want the traditional college experience

stable drum
#

Look

#

This is what I

#

Would personally do

#

I don’t know how Illinois education system works but here in NJ, you can go to CC and then transfer, or you can go to Rutgers Newark and transfer to New Brunswick. I believe it would be the same for UI-C

#

I do understand the need of traditional college experience and you will get it if you decide to go to RU-NB. But we’re talking about hella money. If you can afford it, I mean sure, go for it. But UIUC is also a really great school. There’s no harm in trying that other option either ykwim? Plus you get to stay in the state, unless you want to like really leave Illinois lol

#

I would say at-least a 3.8 > would be good

but RU is very expensive OOS.

#

And UIUC has like one of the best engineering programs there

foggy river
stable drum
foggy river
#

cs major

stable drum
#

if you are in-state, I would def apply just to see.
if you get into Rutgers-NB, CS is really good there.
But Stevents and NJIT has its benefits, for once they are tech schools so that's their focus, and their curriculums specifically work for that. It's the same in Rutgers, but if you can't financially cover Rutgers, NJIT is a good alternative, especially as it's as cheap too. Now, if you can't go to Rutgers and are financially capable of paying it, Stevens is the way to go.

#

But if you need financial help and can't go to Rutgers, an NJIT degree won't hold you back.

#

@foggy river

#

Heard also of this guy who went to Caltech and ended up working alongside someone from NJIT so in the end what matters anyways are internships and personal projects, as well as trying to stand out as CS is competitive anyways.

beauty of cs

but im intl so every school is hella expensive

International?!

Where from?

ohhh 37k is not bad, NJIT is kinda cheap

Apply to NJIT, for real. If you get in, you can potentially receive a scholarship.

stable drum
#

Definitely cheap.

foggy river
stable drum
foggy river
#

nope

#

but total costs would be approx 45k

#

im hoping they give 5k in scholarships after freshman through some indy scholars

stable drum
#

Huh. Yeah, honestly man I would go to the cheapest. See if you can apply to NJIT, and if you get accepted, you let them know that you got two choices and they can probably give you some help.

#

Like negotiating with them.

foggy river
#

is it free?

Go to Purdue or anywhere cheap, do well, then transfer!

i mean someone who actually goes there

#

bc i want to know whether doing computer engineering here is worth it

#

and if rbs actually has the best connections because i have two options in case i decide to commit to rutgers

#

  1. pick rbs and join as bait and then switch over to finance and add cs as a double major

  2. join as computer engineering

and his friend also says the same

that is a very small sample size

what's the different between buildings

where u from

#

international?

#

what country ?

toxic garden
#

NJ

stable drum
#

ah nvm then lmao

stable drum
toxic garden
#

ye

stable drum
#

soooooo really. it's just reputation and college lifestyle

#

New Brunswick comes first. Has the college lifestyle. Parties, best curriculums and academics, bla bla bla

toxic garden
#

Is it specified by the major?

stable drum
#

After that one comes Newark. More diverse, more city-esque, closer to NYC (train away, literally station right across you), but tends to be commuter so less "parties" and social life buuut still good nonetheless!!!

#

the last one is Camden, which benefits you more if you're from South Jersey. I don't know that much apart from it being closer to PA and Philly.

toxic garden
#

ahh i see

stable drum
#

But also a commuter school and has that weird reputation

#

that Camden is dangerous and stuff which... i mean it's not that bad according to a guy i met from there

stable drum
toxic garden
#

Math/Phys BS

stable drum
#

you a senior?

toxic garden
#

no junior but im early grad

stable drum
#

you can have two paths potentially:

go to Community College, do REALLY REALLY SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING GOOD, and you can transfer to New Brunswick !

#

or apply to Newark, do REALLY WELL FIRST TWO SEMESTERS, and transfer to New Brunswick

#

or third option, Newark

#

:D

#

north or south jersey?

toxic garden
#

North

stable drum
toxic garden
#

hmm ty

stable drum
#

Nothing against early grad which is so benefitial and cool but colleges would love to see you in college academics.

#

Good GPA?

toxic garden
#

ehh not really

stable drum
#

Hey man

#

Lil secret

#

i graduated from high school with a 2.1 gpa

#

it was that fucking bad lmao buuuut I did community college

#

at one point i had 3.9 gpa and dean's list

#

community college is a second chance to prove yourself.

#

i always thought of it that way

toxic garden
#

I'm 3.9 but its weighted

stable drum
#

ah nvm then lmao

#

your gpa is good wtf

toxic garden
#

people said its considerably bad

stable drum
#

you made me write a sob story boo

toxic garden
#

if its weighted

stable drum
#

um

toxic garden
#

unweigted 3.7

stable drum
#

unweighted?

#

mmm

#

you could get into Newark

#

but like i said, community college and you can transfer to New Brunswick

toxic garden
stable drum
#

to be fair

toxic garden
stable drum
#

the "college experience and lifestyle" is really overrated. however, i was first gen so i honestly had no idea either

toxic garden
#

im waiting for decision from camden as well

stable drum
#

u got into nb?

toxic garden
#

ye

stable drum
#

ah?

toxic garden
stable drum
#

then go to new brunswick

#

oh

#

newark or new brunswick?

toxic garden
#

Newark

stable drum
#

no new brunswick?

toxic garden
#

nope

#

didnt even apply

stable drum
#

you get full ride?

#

ah man

toxic garden
#

no

stable drum
#

you should've applied!

toxic garden
stable drum
#

weird question: low-income?

toxic garden
#

YES

stable drum
#

okay

toxic garden
#

REALLY LOW

stable drum
#

me too

#

i was

#

loooow income

#

have you done fafsa?

toxic garden
#

ye i did in dec

stable drum
#

cool

#

this is what i did personally. so

#

new jersey is really cool in the sense of

#

low-income ppl like us

#

can go to college full ride

#

you see, there's this thing called

#

Garden State Guarantee

#

what is that you may ask?

toxic garden
#

hold up lemme search up

toxic garden
stable drum
#

so, every public college in the state gives full-ride to people who make less than 65k a year

#

when they transfer from a 2-year college with an associate's

#

in other words:

#

first two college years in community college

#

last two college years in state uni

#

so for example, let's say you enroll in community college right now. in theory, you won't pay a penny for tuition.

toxic garden
#

so should i quit RU this year and do community college?

stable drum
#

unless they give full-ride (now i don't know if they've given you aid yet or not), if you want to save the penny, i really would recommend it based on my experience. i didn't pay for community college and i have my associate's now, and i'm transferring.

#

with your associate's, you can go to any public university in the state for free if you're low income

#

here you go, sign up and complete it !!

stable drum
toxic garden
#

wait, CCP program counted?

#

early college

stable drum
#

wym? like non-college program?

#

ah

#

you have college credits?

did you apply as a first-time degree seeking or transfer student @toxic garden ?

toxic garden

first time

stable drum
#

ah

toxic garden
#

Students who satisfy all eligibility criteria may receive GSG up to the overall cap of 4 semesters, or once you reach 128 credits, whichever comes first. Once a student has reached more than 128 credits, or reached the maximum payments, they are no longer eligible for GSG.

#

ehhh

#

i might change my major

stable drum
#

oh?

#

how come?

#

so an associate's gives you 60 credits

toxic garden
#

so i do science because i'm good at it

stable drum
#

yea?

toxic garden
#

not i like it

stable drum
#

oh

#

then don't

#

so look

#

60 credits are more like, just general ed

#

the other 60 are stuff you wanna major in plus electives

#

enter with whatever major you want

#

and you can change it

#

btw for transfer, 3.7 is more than enough for New Brunswick lol

#

you should've applied there >:(

#

but yeah, you can choose any major you like pretty much

#

i would definitely, definitely look up about transfering those community college credits to rutgers

#

you should've applied as a transfer student, not as a first-time student

#

transfer students are any students who have like college credits

toxic garden
#

but my parents said i should go there because my cousin is there

stable drum
#

u got this man <3 trust

I had a 3.95 weighted end of sophomore year, but I managed to get it up to a 4.2 by senior year

toxic garden
#

see, so most ppl i saw is 3.9 unweighted

#

that's my weighted

crystal pawn
#

in lots of places, it's really easy to do a lot of APs, do relatively well in them, and get your gpa astronomically high

#

it's not really a clear cut comparison between unweighted and weighted, so I wouldn't stress about your weighted being someone's unweighted

toxic garden
#

My grade used to be really good until that AP Lit and general physics I

crystal pawn
#

ooh yeah physics is the class that sucks for me

luckily i prepared for general phys II

I think college admissions are overly competitive, and that GPAs are inflated non proportionally to academic performance nowadays. It can be pretty easy to compare yourself to other students and feel lacking, but that won't get you anywhere, you're doing fine. not much we can do with the state of college admissions, though, so we just need to work with what we've got

toxic garden
#

ehhh i failed most of competition i participated

crystal pawn
#

I go to a school with astronomical grade inflation, to the point that where so many people I know are wielding 4.5s and 4.6s (weighted), which makes admissions unreasonably competitive.

toxic garden
#

i failed f=ma twice

#

amc once

#

theres only 1 time i make it through and got into usapho

#

but dang the others are like national merit

#

I saw an alumni from rutger math honor program

crystal pawn
#

all I can tell you is to not stress too much about it. for what it's worth, for all the people you see doing well on those competitions, it's worth reminding yourself that the majority of American students don't even compete. this isn't to put down the value of those programs, but it goes to show that you aren't somehow in the minority by not having done well

toxic garden

hes like USAMO TST bro
