Rutgers University New Brunswick Early Action for Fall 2023

Nice to see decisions finally rolling in. It’s been really late this year.

Last year the first set of decisions (a mini-wave - less than a hundred or so, which included my daughter) went out the third week of November. Then, iirc, a big wave in the third week of December and two more in January.

Very different this year. Good luck to all those still waiting.

My son applied and admitted to 3 schools in NB. But the status does not show the campus. It just shows the school name. Does anyone see north Brunswick on the status page?

To the best of my knowledge, some schools are campus specific, eg School of Engineering is New Brunswick only.

If the school is located on multiple campuses and does not have a location in its name, it is a NB school. Otherwise, it will have the location in the college name.

Eg, School of Arts & Sciences is in NB
School of Arts & Sciences-Newark is Newark
Camden College of Arts and Sciences is Camden.

Thank you. Just wanted to make sure DS was admitted to NB.

Deferred to RD. Does Rutgers actually accept Deferred Students? Thanks

Yes they do. They also accept from waitlist.

We just received the acceptance for School of arts and science and school on engineering in NB. In state. Finally

Deferred for Twin A here. Waiting on Twin B.

When did you apply? I am thinking they have deferred due to large number of applications. We applied last day.

Does anyone know the reality of being deferred if they actually enroll any of those students? My son was deferred for Business but admitted for Engineering. Business is his top choice. Ugh

You were first updated with an admission to Engineering and Business was still in process, then business finally updated to deferred.

Hope that is not a sign for the rest of us awaiting decisions.

It is all so bizarre. The School of Engineering has higher course requisites so I am surprised he was deferred for Business

Haven’t gotten a decision yet. In-state, Business NB first choice, SAS NB second choice.

Have any waitlist decisions gone out yet? It appears by major, first acceptances went out and now deferrals are going out.

Hopefully we’ll see some acceptances reported.

literally exactly the same lol

What is the difference between waitlist and deferral?

Deferred to regular decision vs being put on the waitlist.

Daughter accepted for College of Arts and Sciences and Environmental Science. Overseas student at an American school. GPA 4.7 weighted.

EA applicants (technically for Rutgers, “priority date applicants”) will not be waitlisted. If not accepted or rejected, they will be deferred to regular decision.
