My daughter applied early action last year to Rutgers NB, SAS. She received her decision on Wednesday December 19 just after 10:30 pm. So tonight is very possible.
BTW she was accepted and now attends and is very happy with her decision.
No, regular decisions never come out until after all of the early action decisions are out. I don’t think they even look at them until the early stuff is done
Keep in mind folks that if you applied to more than one of Rutgers’ schools or colleges, you may only receive a decision from one but not all - and therefore the waiting game will continue. A year ago my son only heard from School of Arts & Science in wave 1 and then heard back from the School of Engineering in wave 2. RBS took longer.
