[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do slin-state students go if not their NJ flagship?[/quote]

NJ exports high school grads probably more than any other state. There are a ton of high performing high schools in NJ, and while there are other in-state options, most people have never heard of them. (see the poster who didn’t know there is an actual college called The College of New Jersey). And while Rutgers is mostly comprised of in-state students, most leave the state. Something like 87% of my kids’ high school Class of 2025 went out of state. UDel, Penn St, IU Kelley, Purdue Engineering, UMD, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, South Carolina, CU Boulder, among others are chock full of NJ students. Many of these students could have gone to Rutgers, they just chose not to. And their parents can pay for them to go out of state so they do.

Just checked the Senior Instagram page for Class of ‘26 at kids’ HS. Early Days but 85 kids have posted where they have committed. Of the 85, four are going to in-state NJ publics (none of them to Rutgers). The early postings tend to be heavy with ED admits and recruited athletes so definitely the Rutgers commits will be there by May, but there won’t be that many.[/quote]
