While I am disappointed I was not directly admitted to the business school, I am still happy to be accepted to SAS. See you guys this fall!
I was waitlisted at RU for SAS and realized that I had mistakenly put my ethnicity as white, when I am Asian. Does anyone know if this would make a difference in my waitlist decision?
@aseolyoung Hey! I am graduating high school from Idaho as well! I almost applied to Rutgers but I realized that I wouldn’t be able to afford it. Instead I am going to Wofford College in South Carolina. (-: It’s cool seeing other people from Idaho go far away to prestigious schools!
I got waitlisted T_T
