Rutgers C/O 2021 Admissions/Discussion

@Ceciliaagnes is that from the first time they were released or from today?

@nf1234 i did not get an email, but I am able to get past that step. I did file a FAFSA. I get the record not found message later after I select a school from drop-down. I also have a letter on the documents link similar to above about on-boarding for fed loans. Can you get to that portal? Maybe you would not be on it since you did not file FAFSA. This is what I would expect as we are not getting any need aid. Filed the FAFSA excuse some schools on son’s list required it for merit. The loans that they are requesting documentation for are going to be the default federal one’s that anyone can take so that makes sense. Still thinking it is a no on scholarship.

@nf1234, I saw my scholarship letters before, that one morning when they were up briefly.

So have people already received their email and/or been able to see anything besides ‘Your record is not in our database’ on the RUID sign in? The sign on page still says ‘Status as of Tuesday, January 1’ so will that need to change before we will see any information?

Hey, I saw what I got early too, but when I check the log in dropdown for the schools, only one (RBS) is listed, when I got scholarships to all 3 schools I applied (according to the original thing). Did you see any change?

@Fambruhghini, I don’t know, as I can’t see yet. Was the one for RBS the same amount it was originally?

@Njmom224 okay thank you. No im not able to get past the login step, maybe it is becuase i did not file a FAFSA

@Ceciliaagnes Ahh okay thanks

Got waitlisted for SAS at New Brunswick and SAS Newark asked for my first sem grades. Not really interested in Newark, but extremely interested in New Brunswick. Are the chances of me getting accepted from the waitlist good? Stats are below:

SAT: 1340
GPA: 3.3 (W), show strong upward trend
Good essay
Good ECs
Mostly B’s in first semester of senior year

I can now see both SAS and BusSchool in the drop down but still getting the message “Your record is not in our database. Please contact your campus Financial Aid Office.”

I can’t log in - it just shows the option for it.

Did all of you guys file fafsa?

You guys are funny. The waiting is driving everyone nuts and I know it’s a tough, but you just have to wait until they officially release it!!

@12345college My stats are extremely similar to yours…can I ask what your rank was?

My daughters award letter was on the portal this afternoon.

I got into the honors college for arts and sciences, business, and environmental & biological sciences but it says my record is not in the database when I try and see any merit scholarship information for any of those respective schools

My son is in the same situation as youPianogirl1235. Try again in the morning. Supposedly things get updated overnight. Good luck on merit scholarships.

My D is also in the same spot as she got into Honors College at SAS, SEBS & Nursing but it says record is not in database. Hopefully merit info is there in the morning. Good Luck Everyone & Good Night !

Yes, we filed for FASFA although we expect to get $0 in aid, but are hopeful for some Merit Scholarship. The official email stating that the award is available came in about an hour ago. But when I log in, I still get the “Your record is not in our database. Please contact your campus Financial Aid Office” message.

Same here, @Trollair. I received the email, but still can’t view.

OK…now I see the Financial Aid Awards letter for both SAS and Busines Schools. They are both the same and only offer the standard Federal Direct Loan. There is nothing about Merit Scholarships. So now I’m wondering, does this mean he was not offered a Merit Scholarship? Or is it likely to come at a later time? I see others who received the Presidential Scholarship but nothing else. Has anyone else received any other Merit Scholarships?
