@jtre18 same!! I also applied RD and I’m still in process
I too applied RD and am still waiting for a response.
I know a few kids with higher stats than me who have been accepted to top universities and are still waiting as well for Rutgers NB, so I don’t think there’s a reason to worry.
Financial Aid Award letters are out–includes merit aid/scholarships.

I have a question about the financial aid package: the money I would need to pay and am responsible for is the net cost (before loans)?
Edited–see next post.
Yes, you’re responsible for the net cost
hey guys so i just got my package but the tution is too much as im out of state. Anyone know of any good loans that i can take out and if the loans can cover all my tution??
Rutgers offered my daughter zero in scholarship money. But still waiting on Mason Gross. They may offer something. We’re in state and they are still our cheapest option, despite generous merit scholarships from UD and Temple. Le sigh…
@JerseyMom2022 what were her stats if you dont mind asking me that.
@hamstargaming don’t mind at all. GPA: 3.728
ACT: 30
Accepted at SAS New Brunswick and school of environmental and biological sciences New Brunswick. Still waiting to hear from Mason Gross for visual art.
@JerseyMom2022 did you have your daughter check her portal? My daughter did not get an email notification, but there was a scholarship when she logged in. She is also in Mason/Gross for the dance BFA
@amom2girls
She has not been accepted yet to Mason Gross. I just spoke to them on the phone on Thursday and they haven’t even reviewed her portfolio yet. I called them because she won a Gold Key from the Scholastic art competition and her artwork will be in the Montclair art museum. I wanted to see if they could add her winning photograph to her portfolio along with the information that she won this prestigious award. She ended up emailing them the material and they emailed her back congratulating her and told her that they pulled up her application and portfolio to add the stuff. She checked her portal today and it says ‘portfolio submitted’ and her financial aide portal doesn’t even list Mason Gross. So we wait.
@JerseyMom2022 OK, I understand now. She has to be accepted first before she will hear. Good luck! These audition programs add a second layer of waiting!
@amom2girls Thanks! I am not going to stress about it since she has already been accepted to two very reputable art programs. It probably takes forever to sort through all those visual art portfolios and make sure they pick the best candidates. Mason Gross is very selective and competition is fierce so she’s not counting her chickens.
@JerseyMom2022 Oh ok. Btw guys can you chance me? I had a 3.7 gpa hig school and have a 3.1 after first semester at college. I got a C in my bio class and it messed everything up. I am applying as a transfer student and will have 30 creds after this semester at my current college (freshmen). I think my essay was pretty goood. I applied to NB SAS. Can I get in? I am so nervous, I really wanna get in…
I don’t know anything about how they evaluate transfers. And frankly the admissions have been all over the place even for undergraduates. A 3.7 from one high school doesn’t mean the same as a 3.7 from another school. Admission officers know that but random people on the internet would have no idea. Can you tell I am not a fan of ‘chance me’ queries?
@JerseyMom2022 THANK YOU!
Anyone hear back from NB SAS? If so, what are your stats? I got into Newark about 2 weeks after I submitted my application. I have a 2.998 GPA and a lot of volunteer work, full time jobs throughout college, and a well composed essay.
@TransferGuy2018 when did you hear back from Newark and how many credits do you have if you don’t mind me asking that?
@TransferGuy2018 I applied to NB SAS on the 28. Stilll haven’t heard back. Had a 3.7 high school gpa and 3.1 first semester gpa. First year at my current college
