Rutgers University New Brunswick Early Action for Fall 2023

Already had 3 schools, but interesting.

Edit. Spoke to soon, it is in son’s portal too.

Says can now add a 4th and 5th school. Odd to add when decision release is imminent.

Last year they announced the decision as soon as anyone decided and did not wait for all three. Looks like they are announcing all of them together

Camden and Newark already issued decisions, AFAIK.

NB School of Arts & Sciences not an option?

Schools already applied to are not an option.

Does this mean results are being released soon though since they are adding things to the portal

It is odd because they did not allow to add 4th and 5th choice until now. it could be that they are fixing the system because they just realized it now. but who knows. hope they will send out the decision soon so the families can plan accordingly.

Likely the opposite. If they were about the announce results it would be too late for people to add schools. 31st seems more likely.

Speculation is they have a very high number of deferrals this year? Perhaps the change is to allow alternate pathways to keep students in the system instead of losing money by turning them away.

Anyone hear for oos ea social work? This waiting until the last day is stressful.

Potentially tomorrow it’s Thursday and 5 days before the big day the 31st so who knows what could happen tomorrow

Anyone know what time Rutgers New Brunswick normally releases decisions? Afternoon? Evening?

at this point, it is hard to say as Rutgers NB has not released any decision yet for in state students. hope they can still meet the 1/31 deadline as promised for EA applicants.

In the past, they’ve released in the evening.

And I wonder why they have opened up the portal to add 4th and 5th choice. Atleast they should have been communicating better.

Although I may be wrong, it sounds like they’ve opened up the portal to allow for fourth and fifth choices so that students have additional opportunities for admission. It seems like they received an overwhelming amount of applications, and to reduce the number of deferrals and/or rejections, they probably are looking to channel students in other directions. Again, I may be completely off base here though- lol.

Some decisions are going out today. My son’s portal was just updated w an acceptance to Engineering. His top choice is Business so hopefully he will hear shortly. We are in state
