so what do you think the acceptance rate will be this year for in state kids?

Acceptance rate will go down because more students applied with common app

143

will it be a big difference?

144

I’m really not sure how big a difference the acceptance rate will be. It just depends on how many students they acceptance to the college. This is my first year having a child applied to college

145

They can only accept a certain amount, I don’t think that number changes much. The more applications, the lower the acceptance rate.

someone on reddit posted that applicants increased by 60% from last year and 63,000 applied.

147

Reddit is not a reliable source for college admissions information.

148

I previously wrote my daughter found out that applications, increased by 44% from her future planning teacher at school who has spoken with Rutgers for some other reasons other than admission

149

he claimed that he is a high school guidance counselor. However, the email did seem accurate, which is why I’m nervous.

I hope they are right. If it’s 60% increase then there is no way I’m getting in.

I am in review, OOS engineering

If the figure in that reddit post (~63000) is only for New Brunswick, it reflects an increase of 21000+ over the 22-23 CDS, or ~51%. The message quoted is ambiguous as to whether there were >63000 applications for New Brunswick or across all three campuses. But if it’s only Rutgers New Brunswick, and they figure that admitting the same number of applicants will result in a similar yield (a questionable premise, I think), then the admit rate would go from 66% to around 43%.

154

I think it’s only New Brunswick. That’s a huge difference. Even for in state residents??

155

I know it’s nerve-racking waiting. My daughter is an out-of-state student and applied to the school of arts and sciences. But only a couple more weeks until they have to announce early action decisions so all we can do is wait.

Good luck

Did you apply to other schools or other SOE?

157

I would imagine it’s mostly out-of-state kids as I think that a high % of NJ kids have historically applied to Rutgers pre-common app (if my kids’ NJ high school is not unusual).

159

I put second choice as SEBS and third as SAS, both at NB, but I want to say it made me pick three, not sure though
