Do you know if the honors college decisions will come out at the same time?

102

No, honors decisions are released in early March.

103

Does everyone’s portal say “check back soon for a decision”? I can’t remember if it’s always been there or something new?

104

Sounds like it’s new for this year. Wasn’t there in previous years. Nice addition.

Good luck to everyone who’s waiting to hear.
(In the past Rutgers has always announced in multiple waves, so if you’re not part of the current wave don’t worry).

I’m curious if it has been there this year. My dd mentioned it to me this morning and she couldn’t remember if it was there all along this cycle.

106

Still status shows submitted only

107

That status is been there since beginning. The above status checkmark of UNDER REVIEW is important

108

thanks!

109

Ours still shows submitted only :frowning:

I’m not sure they are mutually exclusive. Ours still just shows submitted on the left side but there’s a box to the right of that that says “Check back soon for a decision on your application!” No idea how long its said that. Previous posters from prior years have said their left side went straight from submitted to decision made on the same day as the announcement. So I wouldn’t take not getting the “under review” box checked as meaningful.

Did NB Rutgers gave any date for sending acceptance letters

112

Officially February 15 for Early Action applicants but most people expect them to do so in batches sooner than that based on past practice.

Rutgers has always had rolling decisions as far as I can remember. Usually starting mid December (and they like Thursdays - so maybe tomorrow). Then two waves in Jan, then one in Feb.

There was a mini-wave mid November last year and this year.

For students who didn’t make it by the Nov 1 EA deadline, but submitted by Dec 1, any idea when they might start hearing? (Obviously after the EA waves
)

115

Our Highschool counselor sent an email this time for EA’s we will start hearing in January as last year just from kids school 93 kids went to Rutgers. This year its going to be selective and she was urging students to apply to few more colleges.

116

Rutgers taking their sweet time. Suspecting that there is heavy competition and they either would defer many EA to regular and I would not be surprised even if they start denying. Looks like they are getting in to serious selection process

117

My daughter applied EA and on her portal the application doesn’t even say “under review” yet
she has heard from several other Universities that she has applied to but Rutgers is her top choice. Does her portal need to show that it is under review before her application is even looked at?

No, the portal has issues. For some applicants it doesn’t reflect the true status until a decision is announced. If in doubt, write to the admissions office.

119

Same here, from what I’ve read here it’s normal

120

Thanks! My daughter did say the portal reflects her application was received. She has just been worried about the fact that it still doesn’t say “under review.”
