AP Stat- B/B- **What I am thinking its gonna be after midterms**
I got into Newark and Camden business schools with 6k and 7k each.
Rutgers does not publish WL data. Some schools no one gets off. Others 1k+ get off.
If you were WL, you were rejected but the school is keeping you in their sights in case they fall short of their enrollment goals. So odds are typically not great. But at some schools better than others. Since they don’t publish their data, it’s hard to know.
I’m guessing your grades won’t be a help but can’t say for sure.
Congrats on your admissions and best of luck.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with staying on a WL. Go for it. A WL basically means they cannot offer you a spot now, but they did not deny you. They might offer a spot later if they don’t meet their preliminary enrollment numbers. Because these numbers vary so much from year to year (some years schools go deep into their WL, other years they don’t at all) it’s really virtually impossible to guess if this will work out for you. If they allow you to send in any updated info (new awards, grades, etc) then do so. They won’t care about “continued interest”. You have lots of options, but there is nothing wrong with playing it out and seeing how it goes!
@TheRealMango You DMd me two weeks back - I wrote back to you but you never responded.
Feel free to respond if you want to discuss more and your options from your current choices you noted.
Unless determined to major in accounting, admissions may be doing you a favor by steering you toward economics.
However, if accounting is your desired major, then attend any fully accredited accounting program at one of your other school options. Accounting is a great major regarding job openings.
Accounting probably isn’t what I want to do tbh. I want to get into Fintech or something along those lines. To be honest, I hate accounting so much; the reason I do well in the class is that I understand it pretty easily.
Do you have an Idea when I should hear back?
Why would you major in something you dislike?
My husband (a Rutgers communications major) works in finance (was an adjunct finance professor at Rutgers for a long time), he told our (4) business school majors who didn’t know what they wanted to major in to start in accounting, easier to drop down. #1 is a cpa, #2 dropped to finance, #4 started and stayed finance, minor in accounting and math, works as an actuary, #5 business management (had a bit of a struggle freshman year).
Back to the OPs question…none of us works for Rutgers NB admissions so we can’t answer your question. Good luck.
I never wanted to major in accounting, I am going to major in finance.
Gotcha.
You’ll have plenty of accounting for a finance major, but if you can tolerate it just to get the skills…
Got in Yesterday!
Hopefully for business.
Yes!
Wonderful! Congrats!
Congrats on being accepted!! So glad you were able to see that waitlist spots can and do convert to acceptances.
