Every few weeks I think. Next one is probably mid December.
Not totally sure though. Going by what I’ve heard from past year applicants.

Those who already received an acceptance - did you get anything at all from Rutgers as a follow-up? I was expecting they’d send my D additional information, next steps, etc. by mail or email. Maybe even just a “welcome” package. But there’s been no communication at all!
My eldest son applied and was accepted three years ago and Rutgers will eventually follow up with a pretty large envelope a few weeks after the admission decision is made.
Ok, good to know. Thanks @NJdad07746
After the first wave of acceptances, did anyone receive acceptance from Rutgers ?
Not yet
Do the accepted applications automatically go to Honors College for consideration or do we have to do anything else?
It’s automatic. One thing to know is that Rutgers has two different things, an Honors College and an Honors Program, with the HC having a beautiful freshman dorm and more scholarship money than the Honors Program.

Naviance shows 13 from my son’s school have been admitted. ~2 weeks ago, my son received admit notice to all three schools he applied to. Don’t ask me why he decided to apply to three schools. 
Does anybody see an empty checkbox in Application checklist ? it wasnt there before 
No empty checkbox now, but DD had 2 at one point, plus 2 unchecked sat score boxes. I think they are still working out the details of their new software and I wouldn’t worry. Even if you are worried, the admissions people can’t fix it themselves. You can contact the office and ask if they’re missing anything from you.
Hi tktian,
Was the Engineering school one of the schools that your son got admitted to?
My son has applied to the Engg School and hasn’t heard back yet…
Yep. I’m sure yours is coming your way.

They will come in waves. When my eldest son applied three years ago, he didn’t receive his acceptance decision to the college of Engineering until end of January.

thats a friday …has it ever come out on a friday before?
Yes. My older kid (SAS 2024) found on early Friday morning 12/18/19. I think they started posting decisions after midnight. We found out first thing that Friday morning. Hoping to hear good news for kid #2. Good luck!
Start checking the evening before after 10pm…like closer to 10:30pm. That’s when the waves were published three years ago when my son was admitted to SOE and SAS.
Rutgers does not seem to send an email notification about decision availability in a timely manner. So you might need to check the portal periodically to see if it says “Decision Made”.
When my daughter got accepted last month we checked the portal only because @calypte posted here about their kid’s acceptance, so we checked too. My daughter didn’t get an email from Rutgers until a day later.
