@aznboi4981 Hey, hopefully your credit evaluation turned out well. I was posting to let you know I was accepted into the School of Business today but will be sticking with Arts & Sciences for now. I guess there were some very recent openings.
@stecy Wow, lucky you!! Congrats! I sent an email and everything and they said it was full. Maybe I should send them another?
Still waiting to hear back about my updated credit evaluation. Sent in the syllabi last week and still nothing.
Thanks aha. Yeah I was going to say that… Maybe call and mention your friend or something was admitted and will not be enrolling in the Business school so there should be at least one opening, etc etc.
Yeah can’t say that I’m surprised–there are probably a few thousand other transfers. Well, I hope it works in your favor!
Before I forget, I was wondering if you were signing up for any of the programs they are offering for transfers? I was thinking about signing up for the discovery adventure program–a bunch of outdoor activities like night hiking and whatnot. Thought it would ease the transition a bit.
Hey thanks for your response! As far as I know, it looks like they’ll be accepting fall 2018 applications until August 15th. My last class ends on August 2nd, so that’s cutting it quite close. Maybe this is a side effect of things but I honestly don’t feel like applying for reconsideration anymore. I’ll have 23 new credits for them to evaluate but that 1 D will ruin everything. Admissions seems pretty insensitive and I doubt they will actually read the letter for reconsideration that I am including, which they said to write. As far as I see, most of the schools are still accepting fall '18 apps tho. Congrats on your recent acceptance to RBS!
No problem @rutgerstransfer1998 and thank you, I appreciate it. I don’t think the D will ruin everything–we all have our strengths and weaknesses, but that is your decision and I can respect it. Will you be applying this Spring or next Fall?
Yeah, I hope it doesn’t ruin everything but I doubt it won’t. If I go through with the reconsideration, it will be for Fall 2018.
Hey folks, I was accepted into ASA school yesterday but rejected by business school. A little bit excited at the beginning, but still deciding between UCR and Rutgers. Need some advices:((((
Hmm I would say that it depends on which one will be cheaper. Are you planning on going to grad school? What kind of environment do you prefer? With Rutgers, school-to-school transfer is not a hassle at all. From what I have seen, doing really well in SAS and then applying to RBS is not tricky or anything. In fact this route usually results in success for most applicants within the school and the GPA needed is at least a 3.0 in the business pre-reqs with no recent D’s or F’s, so that is still highly doable as a Rutgers student if RBS is your dream. SAS has so many majors so you will find something that you like.
Hey guys. I decided to just go on with the appeal before my last class ends b/c some schools have closed up for transfers. I’ve been rejected for fall '17, had my reconsideration for fall '17 denied, I had my spring '18 admission revoked, I stupidly applied for a semester change and was auto-rejected for fall '18 with no new academic info, applied to a different school within ru for fall’18 & had that rejected, so I am not really expecting this reconsideration to result in admission, despite an improvement in GPA and extenuating circumstances. They have my letter and the new info. If it’s a no then I am honestly done applying to a school that doesn’t really want me.
Good luck!!
Update: Reconsideration was denied. They sent such a generic email saying that the pool was competitive and that they strongly recommend two full time semesters. Idk what to do now. I can’t afford two more semesters and there are no classes left for me to take. I have more credits from one more class and wanna do another reconsideration but I’m going to look super pathetic.
Did you receive a decision yet?
