To avoid creating confusion like this, can discussions of schools other than Rutgers be moved to those threads?

I know everyone accepted into the honors college gets merit, but I don’t know if everyone who gets accepted into an honors program automatically gets merit.

485

Sorry, I should have been specific. Honors college, not necessarily the honors program.

DS just got an email he got in New Brunswick, A & S (computer science). That’s all he applied for. He didn’t even apply early action so it was a nice surprise to hear. We are OOS and Rutgers was a last minute add based on the types of schools he seemed interested in (larger state schools).

He wants to visit now.

No, schools don’t process the WL that way. If there’s available space after May 1, they will decide who to make an offer to.

I am reading posts from last year , and many are saying people were accepted off waitlists earlier - feb - April , so that seems to possible though not very likely

Mine feels the same way but CA to NJ is far
 We will wait to see on honors as we need at least some merit to bring the $50K price tag down a bit.

Does it matter what major you apply to? I am wondering if applying to a more competitive major (CS) is the difference. Very similar stats, rigor and resume and same result here. WL for SAS. I am having a hard time understanding why these stats are not good enough.

I didn’t apply to Rutgers, but I heard it was pretty harsh this year.

498

I am wondering same thing about whether major matters too. Similar stats here too–in state deferred for SAS (CS).

Yes, certain majors are more competitive including CS.

Hi everyone :wave:. Yesterday My son got a “not admitted to Arts and Sciences and about an hour ago he got an email saying it was changed to “waitlist”. Has anyone seen this? Does anyone know the chances of getting accepted while on waitlist? Slim to none? Haha. He is going to enroll at Camden if he is not accepted to NB but the letter stated they would make final decisions by August 1! So late.
