<p>I am a transfer at Rutgers University NB.</p>
<p>Looking to help people out. Drop by with questions or just to chat if you are a current student.</p>
<p>hey cttouch,</p>
<p>for what semester did you transfer in? what were your stats? what school did u transfer from? if a cc, did u get you associates? if not, how many credits did u have when u sent in your application? did u apply before the priority deadline or after? how long was the wait for a responds? whats your major? do you live on or off campus? whats the atmosphere like at Rutgers?</p>
<p>lol. i know its a lot of question, but id like to know. thanks</p>
<p>I also just transferred to Rutgers and can answer some questions :)</p>
<p>I transferred in fall '08. In high school, I had a 3.3 and in my first year of college I had a 3.8. I transferred from a four year college in maryland (private, liberal arts, wayyy too expensive). I applied before the priority deadline. Um... I remember they made me wait pretty much until the day they said they would let everyone know, or maybe a day or two before that.</p>
<p>I'm an english and art history double major and I live on college ave, but only through extreme luck since most transfer students this year were put in a hotel. The atmosphere here is definitely loud at times- people will be up running through the halls at midnight, but they are quiet well into the day (I'd assume they're finally sleeping, hah). There is a lot of pot smoking, at least in my dorm. It seems like most of the very serious students live on Busch, and I feel like a lot of people living here just sort of "get by" when it comes to academics, if that makes any sense.</p>
<p>anyway I hope I helped!</p>
<p>thanks Backtothestars. that really helped!</p>
<p>you stated that the more serious student live on the Busch campus. what about the Cook campus. do you know if a transfer student majoring in biology would have to live in a hotel?!</p>
<p>Busch is very asian... not to be stereotypical though :) Cook/Douglass seems okay to me- I've never experienced any upperclassmen dorms there, just a freshman dorm. It's very quiet and scenic. But as a bio major I'd bet that you're going to have most of your classes on Busch.</p>
<p>Hard to say about the hotel. It doesn't seem like res life has ruled it out for next year; there really isn't enough space on campus. If I were you I'd return my housing forms as soon as you get them- don't wait more than a day. I've heard the hotel isn't so bad though- supposedly rutgers pays you $15 a day to stay there, free housekeeping, pool downstairs. also I think last year they had people complete a form saying if they were okay with staying in the hotel for a bit or if they wanted to be moved out ASAP, and then moved out the people who were the most ****ed off about it first.</p>
<p>or they make you live off-campus. I know a few people who opted to stay off campus even when they were offered regular housing. and usually upperclassmen on c/d live in the henderson apartments or newells or starkeys, if I am not mistaken. and woodbury, if you're a girl.</p>
<p>Hi, I am transferring to rutgers newark. I handed in the application 10 days after the deadline and my college I am at right now still hasn't sent in my college transcript. I have a Gpa of a 3.489 and I have 56 credits. What are my chances of getting into Rutgers Newark???</p>
<p>xc800tm... From my brief chat when I stopped in the admissions office, you are as good as admitted to the SAS Newark.</p>
<p>what is SAS Newark???</p>
<p>i was wondering if i am able to get into the rutgers newark school of business? not the sas one.</p>
<p>I think you'll get in</p>
<p>I think your chances (xc800tm) are very good. you could prob get into the nb business school if you wanted too as well.</p>
<p>Hi NJKen and naoise, thank you for boosting my confidence. I will let you guys know if I get accepted or not. I was just wondering like when do you get that email from Rutgers showing your RUID? Cuz I still didnt get that yet.</p>
<p>I received that email a week after I submitted my application</p>
<p>Generally, how long does it really take for Rutgers to begin looking at transfer applications for the schools other than nursing? Better yet, has anyone gotten a response( i.e admitted, not admitted, wait listed)? </p>
<p>this process seems like forever. lol</p>
<p>Did you get a scholarship?</p>
<p>NJ Determined- it will take forever, trust me :D</p>
<p>Backtothestars, I'm beginning to realize that it is, indeed, going to take forever because many freshman apps still haven't heard yet. I doubt the admissions committee has even looked at transfer apps yet! But, about the status screen; when you were applying, did it update regularly? Or, did it just update when you received a decision? does an email from the school that a student is accepted to accompany the acceptance?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I think I heard that rutgers has a special admissions office on livingston that just deals with transfer apps but that definitely doesn't make things go any faster. </p>
<p>From what I remember, the screen just updated when I received a decision. I also got an email though, so I wouldn't bother obsessively checking the site- just obsessively checking your email. :D</p>
<p>LOL! will do. this sucks though!</p>
