I genuinely believe that the order is random. I saw average students getting decisions before exceptional students. From what you said she seems like a competitive student with a promising chance.

Yes, āComplete Your SRARā is going to stay there on the portal. Seems to be a glitch.

My daughter applied October. Iām starting to think something is wrong.
You can email her admissions counselor and ask her/him. If you donāt know who it is you can find out on their website.

My daughter also applied in October and found out she was accepted last night. 3rd choice came in 1st and 1st choice came in last. Weāre still waiting on a handful of schools.

They said by 31st so not going to say anything until after that. It appears everything is all there and counselor said all good. Not easy

Same. Today her application check list lost an item (transcript received). Hopefully that means someone is reviewing her application.

The whole thing is stressful. My older son (class of 2020) applied EA in 2019 and heard back before Christmas. Heās currently a sophomore at SAS. Younger son also applied EA and has yet to hear. Trying to keep it together until after the 31st. Younger sonās credentials werenāt as great as the older guy so Iām thinking itās possible that we will be in it for the long haul and am bracing for a deferral to RD and then a possible waitlist. Itās gotten difficult to get in! On the other hand, at the last minute he also applied to Seton Hall and Montclair in December and found out from both of them last week. I think with Rutgers itās the sheer volume and whatever complicated algorithms they use. Iām an alum so am accustomed to the RU Screw but when itās your kid it doesnāt make it any less stressful. Good luck everyone!

Same here. Hubby and are alum and our oldest child, our son, is at RU already. Weāre praying for good news for our daughter. As my husband says, āour family bleeds Scarletā

Haha, yeahā¦the RU Screw! As an alum, I can say I donāt think youāve lived the Rutgers experience until you experience that!
Our experience is kind of similar. My son also applied to Rutgers in 2019 - two Newark schools (RBS and SAS) and one NB school (RBS). He was accepted into the two Newark schools before Christmas, and didnāt hear back from NB until 1/31 (not accepted). Happy ending, though, because heās a Deanās List student at RBS in Newark.
Anyway, my daughter has now applied EA to two NB schools (SEBS and SAS) and one Newark school (SAS). She also was accepted to Newark before Christmas and we continue to wait for NB. Her GPA is better than her brotherās, though a tad low when compared to the acceptance range on the Rutgers website, and we went Test Optional. If she gets into SEBS, then itās in her Top 3. If she gets deferred or waitlisted, this is going to drag on.

I know this is about admissions but I have an aid question.
Do the local large public universities (UD, PSU, Pitt and Rutgers give merit aid to OOS that brings tuition in-line with in-state tuition?
My son got $15k from UD which gets it close to PSU. Can I expect similar from RU?
Given the difference in student profiles between these schools, regardless of your sonās stats, he is likely more competitive at U Del than at PSU, Pitt or Rutgers.
Delaware often is viewed as an alternative to Rutgers Newark- not NB, the flagship campus- at least at my kidsā HS.
