That’s cool you can apply to the business school right out of high school. I’m so old now I remember when you got into Rutgers college and had to apply to the business school as a student during your sophomore year. Lots of kids I knew became Econ majors because they didn’t have a high enough GPA for the business school. I just got in my then skin of my teeth. Too much partying freshman year almost ruined me.
Rutgers ' spplications rise over 90%
- Thread starter ru66
- Start date
My understanding is that kids that were notified accepted today are the ones in the higher status . So your child has a good shot .

Yep. Econ was the de facto safety major at Rutgers for kids who wanted to major in something business related but couldn't get into RBS.
Rutgers publishes copious data going back 20+ years on applications, admissions, and enrollment yield. In recent years, roughly 65% of New Brunswick first year applicants have been admitted and around 25% of admitted applicants have enrolled.
The good news is the trend in applicants is up. Why the numbers bounce around each year is difficult to pinpoint. For example, applications plunged in 2003 and spiked in 2015 and 2018. Hard to explain why. In 2018, Rutgers football went 1-11 yet applications surged.

A good thing about going to a place like RU is that its not going to close.
That might sound too dire but colleges are closing at rate of one a week and the pace is accelerating.
Colleges can lose accreditation for shaky finances.
"About one university or college per week so far this year, on average, has announced that it will close or merge. That’s up from a little more than two a month last year, according to the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association, or SHEEO.
So many colleges are folding that some students who moved from one to another have now found that their new school will also close, often with little or no warning. "
SUNY is over 160 million in debt and some colleges will crash
"“Gov. Hochul’s goal of revitalizing SUNY and making it the best public higher education system in the nation cannot happen when all but six of its campuses are in serious financial jeopardy,"
Oswego, Fredonia, Buffalo St, Potsdam, SUNY Maritime in trouble - "A recent SUNY report indicates that, if current expense and revenue trends persist, the system will face an annual budget shortfall of over $1 billion in 10 years.

His response to you was dumb and unwarranted. You bringing up race for no reason is even worse. This isn’t your Penn State board
Shrllby65 is just bsing you. Everything he posts on these boards is for the sole purpose of denigrating RU. Trying to dismiss the clear information about 78000 apps is merely an.attempt to say-- it can't be true ,it's Rutgers. Yes he's an a hole.
Well that stinks for those guys as they have of the best job placement records around.
Insulting. I graduated from RC with enough credits for either a Business Admin or Eco degree but chose Eco. I don't think I even knew about the RBS option but then again I was working my ass off to pay for the education.

Some bigger public schools are facing major problems as well like WVU that cut all language programs and math. But yes, thankfully everyone from residents to the state gov are now appreciating and supporting RU. It's been a lot of positive changes across the board we can be thankful for.
Tillet had the better turkey pot pie and casino night in the 90s.
Set for life ? Your obese and can’t afford the co pays for Ozenpic just last week? Is that set for life ?
WTF is wrong with you?
Now you have moved from taking shots at someone’s dead Mother to this?
What a sad individual you are
That’s what he said last week in that thread. He said he was waiting for the price to come down so that he can afford the co pay. I’m asking him a question because set at 55 and can’t afford ozempic makes no sense. I never took a shot at anyone’s mother that’s clearly your interpretation of it.
Bull shit
You injected a posters dead mother into a criticism of that poster
Low class
I do not care what you think your another anonymous poster your opinion matters as much as mine. It matters very little so whatever dude.
Truth hurts LMFAO. You are another one who gives this place too much of yourself and your life. It’s an anonymous message board high on opinion and not much else.
Hey asshat. That's not what I said. I said I was concerned about having to pay $6k for it vs. $2k because they couldn't fill. a 3 month supply but only month to month. Being smart with your assets is how you build wealth dipshit.
Affordability and willingness are two diff things moron.
I also said I wasn't diabetic and my A1C was just beginning to creep up. So depending $6 just to lose weight was a consideration.
Btw.. to get you up to speed the new Medicare Part D drug law went into effect Jan 1 capping expenses at $2k so SUCK IT.

A SUNY college president said that for every 100 student decline in attendance the college loses $1 million.
A central fact in the attendance decline is the male to female ratio - boys have been avoiding college.
SUNY New Paltz is 65% female and so are other SUNY colleges.
Of course college debt has scared people off but not the women so much.
The boys get worn by the institutionalized repression where they are made inferior people causing everyone else's problems.
College themselves were having "justice committees" where students (boys) get unofficially charged with all sorts of things.
A whole area of legal defense has sprung-up because of this.
Women meanwhile are often appointed cosmic heroes just because they are women.
I saw a GEICO site where they bragged they hired 67% women in the past year.
A look at LA fire situation shows who is getting hired and its a hostile agenda by hostile bureaucracies (see NC FEMA) .

The Male Enrollment Crisis
"Men make up just over half of the 18- to 24-year-olds in America, but they’re vastly outnumbered in the nation’s colleges. In the spring of 2021, men represented just 40.5 percent of undergraduate students — an all-time low — as the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated and amplified a trend that’s been building for 40 years."
I was reading about how Sonoma State College (DII) just dropped all sports and is closing departments.
A big criticism is the college knew what they would do but waited until term started so kids couldn't bail.
"The following programs are identified for elimination by the University: Administrative Services Credential in ELSE; Art History BA; Art Studio BFA; Dance BA; Earth and Environmental Sciences BA; Economics BA; Education Leadership MA; English MA; French BA; Geology BS; German Minor; Global Studies BA; History MA; Interdisciplinary Studies BA; Interdisciplinary Studies MA; Philosophy BA; Physical Science BA; Physics BA; Physics BS; Public Administration MPA; Spanish MA; Theatre Arts BA; Women and Gender Studies BA. "
Sweeping cuts planned for SSU; all sports to be eliminated
On Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 10:30 a.m. the Sonoma State community received an email that undoubtedly will be remembered as one of the most dire in campus history. The email from Interim President Dr. Emily F. Cutrer stated that the school has come to an “unfortunate realization” – the budget...

I don't think people realize just how bad off a lot of colleges are. People need to check a college's finances/enrollment. before going in blind. Colleges were building-up their college infrastructure like crazy and abusing heck out of financial aid/loans - all while chasing after some students and dismissing others (and a lot of the demographics being recruited didn't stick).
RBS did not have an undergrad school until the mid 80s.
When I entered Rutgers college in ‘83 all students wanting a business oriented degree became Econ majors
Will the ranking go even higher?

Mostly true, NY State really pushed Brutalist architecture in the 60s.
Lots of dorms and libraries got built for boomers during college years
But some schools are in nice locations and saw some quality building projects the past decade or so
Upstate colleges like New Paltz (The Gunks) and Brockport (Erie Canal) are in charming Victorian towns.
Some colleges founded in 1820s-30s have large, scenic main buildings with cupolas.
All people need are bicycles/sneakers to get around.
Autumns in NY are particularly beautiful due to most variety of trees and colors

Admissions is a billion dollar industry. Crazy money and effort spent to increase applications (overall, don’t know what RU spends). RU finally got smart last year and got on board with common app. Applications grew tremendously last year alone. Increases in applications drives an inverse impact on acceptance rate. Lower acceptance rate drives up perception of the university. Schools with lower acceptance rates are better schools, right? Kids used to apply to a couple schools….now they apply to 8, 10, more. It’s a total game with perception being the prize. Common application was the best move RU could have made…it’s already laid off.
Try 20-25. Especially if they get denied from a school early on. They just apply anywhere
20+ wasn’t the normal when my oldest went through the process last year. But it doesn’t surprise me. Most kids (and parents) always get the reach, target reach and safety schools wrong. In reality, their idea of reach schools are no chance schools and target reach are really reach schools. One big reason is that they base it on schools published stats. But if you are from NJ, you need to be at the upper end to have a chance.
well that explains that then. Appreciate the facts here. I always thought getting a Eco degree from then Rutgers College was a darn fine field and achievement. Profs like JJ and Sidney Simon were the real deal.
