Rutgers Early Action for Fall 2022 Admission

I agree with what @NJFather said above, but want to make one correction: you can apply to 3 schools at most (not 5). And yes, each campus/school evaluates your application independently.
Also, I believe you should still have the option to add a school if you haven’t maxed out the 3. So if you did select Newark by mistake you can still go ahead and add New Brunswick.

For active applicants, click on “My Applications”. There is an option for 5 schools this year ( I don’t remember it being this many in 2017 or 2020, however, my daughter has the option for 5 during this cycle ( Also, she has already selected three and has a note on the home screen saying she can submit more)

appreciate the answer. my son put new brunswick as first choice, I think he thought he had to put a second choice…so…it says admitted for newark and apply to honors college there…still says submitted app to new brunswick!

Does the option to add schools section go away before they get their decision? Other schools have things disappear on the site before they get their decision.

No. My daughter received her decision a month back and the option to add additional schools is still there on her portal.

@Laura_Lang1 There isn’t first or second choice for schools at Rutgers and you only have to apply to 1, so I’m not sure what happened, but they will/should still evaluate for New Brunswick.

For those who were accepted in Nov , did they submitted test score? We applied mid of Oct and act score only updated on 12/1 and no decision has been made[quote=“mom2cats, post:126, topic:3545403, full:true”]

My in state kid applied in late October and was accepted 2-3 weeks later. Submitted SAT scores = 1380. I hope this helps!

Yes, D22 applied mid October as well with SAT score. Received her decision 4 weeks later.

It was just that one group released on one day. They’re not really rolling like Pitt or Temple.

D applied mid-september, scores updated in October (they knew they had them but it’s a new system), and still waiting on a decision.

anyone heard anything if next wave of results is this week or next ?

nope. nothing new

Check your portals this evening around 10:30pm ET. Three years ago my oldest found out his decision during one of those mid December waves before Christmas (especially that University operations will begin to shutdown for the holiday break). It always occurred around 10:30pm. I mentioned this to my HS senior who also applied this cycle so we’ll be checking tonight.

I’m hearing a lot about the decision coming out today. For anyone here applying with SAT, does you still have no check mark?

The decision was just made on the portal around 5pm.

Yep, I just check and decisions are out.

Yaay! Wave 2 is out. Best wishes everyone.

Do they all come out at once during this wave or do I have to wait for the third wave if I didn’t get a decision yet ?

I just got accepted! Does anybody know when they’ll let us know about scholarship information? Because I can’t get too excited until I find that out…

There’s definitely another wave in Jan. Maybe another one after that as well. So don’t worry.
