is this the paragraph you are looking at? "this screen reflects the status of your Rutgers University application for undergraduate admission including all required credentials received through 01/23/2018. Your official decision notification will be entirely online. You will receive email alerts to check your status as updates occur. Please add “rutgers.edu” to your safe sender list so that your internet provider and any controls on your email account will allow delivery of messages from “rutgers.edu.”
I’m not sure I ever looked at that date, I had been looking at the date on the page right before that - the one with the link to look at your application; that page has a date that is the date my son applied…that still has the October date.
The other date has me excited now!! Hoping to hear something tomorrow. This is a bit of a reach school, so we’ve been holding our breath!!
Does the date mean anything cause mine also says my required credentials were received through 01/23/2018. Does this mean I will get a decisions tonight?
This is what I think it means and trust me, I could be way off lol. I think they put our apps aside. Not rejected, not waitlisted but on hold. Now that they have went through a few rounds we are back in the pool.
For everyone asking about the date change in their portal, my counselor and I called their office today and they say the date changes when an admissions officer opens your account and enters a code. What the code means, I do not know but I’m assuming it’s an admissions decision, and they just have not yet released it to you, but they have made a decision.
@senioritis62018, I got an email titled something like: “Welcome to Rutgers!” at 9:00AM western time, so it wasn’t much it a surprise. The portal says it was updated 1/22.
I still have an “in process” for school of engineering though…
@seekerofentrance my daughter applied just before the Dec 1 RD deadline and she got her acceptances the morning of Dec 20 at around 10:30 AM. New Brunswick SAS and School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.

Hi everyone! I applied om the 14th as a transfer student from a NJ CC. 4.0 GPA, 42 credits (will have my AA by summer), volunteer firefighter, AP scores included with transcripts. Hope to hear back soon! My friend transferred for the Spring semester and heard back from NB within a week.
@ashtransfer I am also applying as a transfer but from a college outside of NJ. Do you think Rutgers gives special attention to just instate residents?
BTW guys I am currently a freshmen so I believe Rutgers is just gonna look at my fall grades which were just around average I would say. But I had a 3.7 high school gpa. Will Rutgers even care about my high school gpa considering that I just graduated like in the summer?
P.S I was accepted to Stony Brook ( did not attend ) with that gpa and also because of my essay, which I believe was really strong.
