RU application

It’s designed that way. Those schools need to “buy” talent. If RU wasn’t a good option, those school wouldn’t have to offer incentives.

But that’s why there are tons of NJ kids at other schools (out of state) but not a lot of out of state kids at Rutgers. They don’t keep kids and don’t attract the out of state kids.

Plus the out of state tuition is so high kids stay home/in-state instead.

Rutgers has no issues filling its class. Last year was 10,630 kids. That’s up from 9,900 from the previous year.

Often the difference between in-state and out of state tuition.

This. Or they offer less than the difference.

I always get a good laugh when people get money for a 50K - 70K / year school that’s inferior to Rutgers, get bent out of shape that Rutgers offered nothing and then choose the inferior school because they “got a lot of money”.

As a parent of two sons both currently in the honors college and the school of engineering …the profile of the school is going up.

The 1380 median SAT is real ….and the big difference is a lot of more of the students at Rutgers want to be at Rutgers and not the fall back option then when I was there….sure the RU screw still exists , but a lot more people walk around happy to be in that noisy college town then counting the days until they never have to come back to New Brunswick or piscataway

anyone who has questions ….feel free to message me . I’ll be glad to give our perspective (a lot more positive but I’ll be real , no over bias )……

Have friend who’s kid (Ohio based) was valedictorian, nationally ranked athlete (dance), national honors society, lot of local accolades etc. got into RU = 0 scholarship or other merit aide…went to UC for free.

Rutgers sucks that way. Told my kids not to apply cause they were too cheap and it’s not worth it. Better off at home.

I am really curious about your friends kid case ….if you would like to discuss , please message me off line
