I didn’t realized Delaware was rolling. When did your DC apply? My junior really liked it there and will apply next year.

I didn’t either. DD applied 10/18.

There is a Delaware State University and also the University of Delaware. Two different places. U of Delaware releases EA decision by Jan 31.

My University of Delaware EA applicant was accepted yesterday.

Loyola Chicago - $34k/year merit aid came with the acceptance. Just came out today. DC is ecstatic, for the merit aid, and us, too.

Waiting on 6 more.

This Mountaineer Momma says congrats!

Must’ve been a slew of acceptances that came out yesterday. Hope more come in to share their good news!

From where did kid apply, when did they apply, and how long after did they hear back?

Camden. Waiting to hear from New Brunswick campus.

My kid applied to New Brunswick as well but has an artistic review as part of their process so notification on a different timeline. Good luck to yours!

Toured it with my DS, a great underrated public

We’re touring it in two weeks. Interesting that they do the tour by bus. How is the five campuses thing? Does it feel too spread out? Does it seem like there’s a sense of cohesion/community?

It is spread out on both sides of the river, but there did seem to be a sense of community with the students we encountered. They were friendly like at many publics. We did find the river to be an appealing natural feature.

Rutgers isn’t a school for someone who wants a more compact, traditional campus. Oddly, getting around Rutgers is similar to getting around NYU without being in a city. Or, perhaps UC Davis, which is a bit smaller.

My son would have been in L&S which is on the New Brunswick side, but the dorms there are older. He was accepted and considered going there except he decided to go to a private one instead.

Congratulations! May I ask when did you guys submit?

Silly question. Are they sending you emails telling you to check the portal? Or are you checking on your own volition?

If you want to tour an individual campus in depth they have an app with a pretty good self-guided walking tour of each campus.

Would you mind sharing grades and sat? Can’t decide if Chicago would even be worth applying to for next year.

SAT 1550+, 3.9+ gpa, AP Calc BC junior year, advanced proofs class, a reasonable # of APs (9) but tougher ones, no AP Calc AB, went straight to BC, AP Physics Cs only (no lower level Physics APs), APUSH, etc., national science award finalist and other national award (unrelated to STEM) and independent research in specialized application program, college level advanced data science class, etc. Non-athlete, private, but I don't think feeder, 1-2 per year. I think being very strong in non-stem (SAT non-stem as strong as STEM, 780+) and strong non-stem outside and inside class helped, ie, well-rounded stem kid, but extremely spiky stem interest.

I read that Rutgers applications are up 90% since they started using the common app a couple of years ago and the acceptance rate for NB campus went from about 65% to 35%. It may no longer be an option for my A/B student.

Probably more like 40% as the yield rate is likely to have gone down a little, but this is true. Lots of Reddit posts from NJ kids applying EA in 24 and 25 who expected to get admitted and didn’t. Rutgers has informed NJ HS counselors that kids will not get admitted as easily as they have in the past.

It is rather shocking that Rutgers hasn’t released any admissions rate and yield rate information since going to the common app.

Rutgers has also said that the number of OOS applicants is increasing.

Delaware releases in waves and by school, and kids who are on the bubble hear later than kids who are accepted immediately. College confidential is a good source.

Ok that’s what I thought and why I was confused.
