I wonder if they had a large volume of deferrals and it is taking the system time to update as received?
Is anyone having difficulty logging into the application portal?
yes, cant get in
I just saw Rutgers is having website difficulties on a Facebook parent page.
Rutgers has had a bunch of system issues the past few days (I have a kid that goes there) so perhaps itās all related. Their systems pretty much suck compared to other colleges Iām familiar with (I mean you all went through their application process, so you can see that already lol).

My admitted student just happened to be in the portal yesterday and it was showing a merit award and then she inquired about it and it disappeared

Wow. That is good. Congratulations. Is she expected to get in to honors too
Possibly honors? 32 ACT so not sure. We are finding that the schools that count the test scores for the merit and honors eval are offering her those things and the ones going just on GPA are not. We are out of state so it would have to be a good chunk of merit and I have no idea of the $ number we saw yesterday will stick or not since it disappeared

Rutgers is known to give merit scholarship to OOS which brings close to instate tuition. All the best

Iāve never heard this, Rutgers is known to only give merit to the tippy top, like Penn state. All of my kids applied, 2 enrolled, even my 33/34 act 3.9 UWGPA didnāt get honors.

Iām not sure this is accurate. Iām sure some OOS students get good merit, but I donāt think this is broadly applicable.

Two kids from California and one from Maryland got good merit scholarship last year. California students apply with Rutgers mostly because their instate fee is equal to OOS Rutgers fee (may be less) after merit scholarship. Thatās why I have seen many friends kids apply from AZ, CA and other places to rutgers
Has anyone who received EA NB receive anything in the mail yet? My daughter still hasnāt received anything in the mailā¦acceptance is only noted in her portal.
No, nothing in the mail yet for my kid either.

It takes a few weeks. Rutgers will send a welcome/info packet in the mail.

Hey guys,
An international student here. Do you think that I have a chance of getting an honors program invitation and a scholarship. I have a SAT score of 1500(700ERW and 800 Math). I have A1 grade in most subjects from my 9th grade with A2 in two. I have been accepted to SAS and SEBS NB for Biological Sciences. Rutgers is my top choice so I am eager to know this.
