[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usnews has Rutgers noted as #12, but it is almost never brought up on DCUM as a suggestion when people are looking for larger or state schools.

Why?

Rutgers is a great school, but kids aren't feeling NJ like that. And unlike Ohio State, the sports aren't great for kids who want that Big 10 experience. Awesome for an in state option.

Kind of like UMD College Park.[/quote]

With the move to the Common App, Rutgers New Brunswick no longer reports its admission rate.  Anecdotally, it is believed to have fallen from 66% to 40% because the number of applications have nearly doubled.  Much of the increase is attributable to OOS applicants, with NJ high schools counselors having been informed by Rutgers that in state students should no longer expect admission as easily as in the past.

OOS kids figured out that the school is only a 45 minute train ride to NYC, with good flagship academics.[/quote]
