    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    Just replying to the statement that the RU issue is proximity. That is only an issue for some kids since so many choose schools that are not too far from home. I do agree that RU has had crappy marketing. The different campuses is a deal breaker for a lot of people. In reality, they should...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    Agree that they are very different types of schools. The point is that state schools in the southeast, Texas and West have always attracted the best and brightest students in their area. The state schools in the northeast have not. The Midwest is a mixed bag, but state schools in the big ten...

    Proximity may be an issue for some kids that want to get away, but there are plenty of NJ kids applying to schools like NYU, Lehigh, Lafayette, Bucknell, Fordham that may be a similar distance from home. I feel that the number of options within 4-5 hours is more of an issue for RU. Lots of...

    Common App has makes it easier to apply. Test optional schools may also getting more applications from students with good grades but not high test scores. NJ is a densely populated state so Rutgers can fill freshman classes with well qualified in state students. A school like Alabama gives...

    Basketball GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers versus St. Peter's

    This is my 3rd trip to Rutgers in 3 days. Sad offense against Maryland. My kid's wing T offense - at least they won with defense and special teams! Now this sad basketball offense. It's me. I'm the problem.
