[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rutgers has a major image problem - do a college tour at Rutgers and Penn State on back to back days and just about every
kid (and parents) will prefer penn state, even though Rutgers is arguably the better school in many areas - engineering, business, etc

UDel gets more luv than Rutgers too, cute town small campus closer to a large liberal arts feel.

West Virginia is a great school hurt by the fact - no other way to say it - that it’s in West Va[/quote]

My California son toured Rutgers New Brunswick and got accepted EA, but later got accepted ED2 by NYU. He would have laughed if I suggested UDel.  He liked the diversity, the students, the extensive social sciences curriculum and the proximity to NYC by train.

For us, it was somewhat comparable to UC Davis, but with a more urban feel.  I nicknamed Rutgers “UC New Brunswick”, although it appeared to be better state funded than UCs.

Rutgers NB hasn’t released an acceptance rate for the last 2 classes after switching to the common app, with NJ high school counselors reporting that kids that used to be high probability admits are now being rejected. It is now believed to be in the upper 30s to lower 40s.

Rutgers is reporting an increase in OOS applicants, and based upon our experience, it is believable, as the school is an appealing OOS option for California kids being shut out of more selective schools in the last decade.
