Hi,
I made an application originally to rutgers newark, then upon my admittance(via instant decision day) I decided to also see if I can get into new brunswick. I contacted their admissions office, and they added me to their application. The only problem is that my essay is specified to and mentions rutgers newark. How much will that have an impact on my application>
Hi there. It’s no secret that RU-NB barely reads the essay, unless you’re a borderline applicant. If you have at least a 3.0 GPA and no D’s, F’s, incompletes, or not too many remedial courses within your recent coursework, you should be fine. The essay is almost never looked at. This is essentially the same for high school admissions as well. Only if they are not dead set on admitting you, then they will read your essay so as to conduct a more holistic review. You also explained your situation to them and it’s known that you were added last minute.
