<p>I got into NB SAS as well as Newark Business School (Even though I didn't apply there? lol). However, I was waitlisted for RU Business. Was anyone else waitlisted? And what are the chances that someone waitlisted could be accepted? I really want to know. Thanks a lot!</p>
<p>I'm in the exact same situation as you.
same admitted schools,
same waitlisted school.
I wonder when we'll hear back.</p>
<p>I applied to New Brunswick SAS, Engineering, and Business. Waitlisted to Business, but accepted to the others, and accepted to Newark Business. Doesn't bother me, as I want to go to Engineering.</p>
<p>The reason we were all accepted to Business in Newark was they tried to get us in a Business school, since we were waitlisted. I don't know the chances, but if not, you can always try to transfer there from SAS.</p>
<p>When do we hear back regarding our business waitlist?</p>
<p>I have a question. I was accepted to NB SAS and indicated that I wanted to major in one of the business field. They did not automatically enrolled me in Newark Business like they did to some of the people here. Does that mean they want me in NB lol ?</p>
<p>I was just accepted to Rutgers Business at New Brunswick, was wait-listed before.</p>
<p>how'd you guys apply to sas and nb business? from what i understand you get into sas first and then apply to business.. </p>
<p>also if one were to accept newark business could you file for transfer for the next semester while taking the newark classes? or is there a waiting period?</p>
<p>Robteller, you can't apply to SAS and nb business school at the same time. You may have been confused because in this post, there are two different sets of students applying: you have the students who are already in SAS and they were able to apply their sophmore year and get their decision around this time. Then you have your transfer students applying who were not in SAS, but they are had to apply to the SAS, get accepted, then apply for business school this july. The best transfer students can do is indicate that they are interested in business in their application. </p>
<p>And you cannot transfer to nb business school straight from newark business school. You will have to apply to SAS first and ect.</p>

<p>i am one of those transfer students looking to apply to Rutgers Business School - New Brunswick in July.</p>
<p>i've heard its almost impossible to get in from community. i was told from an adivsor that a girl with a 4.0 didnt get in...are they really that selective???</p>
<p>Oleosmirf, I do not believe it makes a difference whether you were from community college or not because in the end, we are all rutgers students applying to that school since we all must be accepted to the SAS first. </p>
<p>If what your advisor said was true about the girl with the 4.0 didn't get in, I am betting that the girl either did not complete the appropriate prerequisites for the business school, or she was not junior status (e.i. 54+ credits) when she applied. I am very sure of this because the business school of NB strictly and only based their decisions on GPA alone. You can't get any higher than a 4.0.....</p>
<p>herothydragon</p>
<p>i find it very hard to believe that a rutgers student and a community college student's GPA are considered equally.</p>
<p>as someone who's taken classes at a top 15 business school and at community, i know the difference i know how much harder it is to get an A in 4 year school as oppossed to a 2 year.</p>
<p>I mean there is no way that my 3.71 would be considered the same as Rutgers student with a 3.71. it just wouldnt be fair although i certainly wouldnt complain...</p>
<p>Oleosmirf, It is very fair that a Rutgers student and a community college student's GPA are given equal consideration. Rutgers business school is for upper level courses; thus, all students, community or university, are taking only lower level courses prior to the business school. My community college is next door to Rutgers Camden and students from both colleges use the same books. Further, there are many great professors teaching at a CC. Do you honestly believe that only less qualified instructors are teaching at a CC when most of them have thier PHDs? Maybe community college students have higher gpas becaue they are not partying all the time or distracted by the many activities a univeristy offers.</p>
<p>herothydragon</p>
<p>getting an A in community is nowhere near as difficult as getting an A at Rutgers.</p>
<p>sure they might use the same books but the curriculum is much more comprehensive and is taught at a much faster pace. you have to do learning outside of class. theres stuff on the tests that you dont cover in class, and you are expected to learn that on your own...</p>
<p>i don't know if you've ever been to a 4 year school but if thats what you think then you're in for a real suprise this coming year...</p>
<p>Oleosmirf, I never took a course at a 4 year university but many of my professors at CC taught at one and some are teaching both simultaneously. I don't see what would be different if I followed them to a univeristy. </p>
<p>This is how I see it: If I take a calculus class in a CC and I fully apprehend it and Ace the class, it is because the instructor and style of teaching is very effective and working. If I took a calculus class at a univerisity and I can't grasp it and barely earned a C, clearly the method and teaching structure is failing. My very close friend at Rutgers Newark took calculus the same time I took calculus at a CC and he struggled for a C. Yes his class was harder, but only because his class was 200 students large. You may argue that there is more to it, but in the end I actually learned the material even if my professor spoon-fed me. Isn't that what matters?</p>
<p>hey herothydragon, </p>
<p>I totally agree with you. I also haven't taken a course at a university, but I honestly don't think there would be much of a difference. I think that because the classes are smaller at a CC, a student tends to grasp the concept of whatever is being taught well because he/she has somewhat of a one-to-one kinda thing going on with the prof. The difference with the CC and University is the size, and students basically have to teach themselves at a University. Especially a research institute like Rutgers. </p>
<p>Now don't get me wrong Oleosmirf, you opinion is completely valid, be it that you've experienced both atmospheres. Plus, I kinda agree that you really cant equally compare a 2yr college student to a 4yr college Student. However, all that really matter at the end of the day is which student does well in his/her profession. Before attending a CC, I gave in to the stereotypes or whatever. But, after being a CC student, I think that I am well prepared to take on whatever any other school has to offer.</p>
<p>herothydragon</p>
<p>my point is you wont get "spoon-fed" at a 4 year school like they do in community. you have to put in a lot more work to get that same grade...</p>
<p>Oleosmirf, The discussion was about whether equal consideration of GPA from a CC and university was fair or not. I only brought up spoon feeding because that may be your only argument and I wanted to refute the strongest point you can have. like I said, it shouldn't matter how you learn the material because in the end you learned it regardless. So why not give equal consideration to a CC student when he knows just as much or even more than a university student especially when you say university students barely make an A. That cause me to believe that they have not fully grasp the material.</p>
<p>Even though I was accepted to 4 schools at Rutgers, I cannot afford it. But I plan to go to Brookdale for 2 years under the STARS program, then transfer in after. I feel that the education will be similar, and it will be saving tons of money on my side (Free CC, then a $6000-$7000 for a State university). Anyone here do the STARS program or CC in general, I want to know your thoughts on the experience.</p>
<p>fabled</p>
<p>i'm at brookdale now. i found the teachers to be excellent there and really care about your grades.</p>
<p>the only problems are
1) the math department is not great and the teachers are lacking there. i've only had 1 teacher that really knew what they were doing.
2) the guidence department is understaffed and it takes around 3-4 weeks to get an appointment which sucks b/c until you have 30 credits there they have to approve every change in your schedule.
3) parking is an absolute disaster. </p>
<p>what are you studying there?</p>
<p>herothydragon</p>
<p>i understand your point but the workload for a community college student is not the same. my friend and I took micro economics in the same semester. he was at rutgers and I was at community. i took a look at his syllabus and they were responsible for much more information. i had a 2-3 page term paper. he had a 6-8 page one or something like that. i had a fantastic teacher who explained every single thing until everyone in the class understood it. i got a 102 in that class. teachers dont do that at any 4 year school. if you dont understand it you have to get extra help outside of class...</p>
