Hello everyone, I'm applying to Rutgers University and I'm curious about how competitive the application process is. Does anyone know the admission rates? Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks!
Admission competition can vary each year based on the applicant pool, but to give you an idea, Rutgers University in New Brunswick, which is the main campus, recently reported a general acceptance rate of 66%. Please note that this percentage fluctuates from year to year, and the strength of your individual application also plays a significant role. Moreover, certain programs and majors may be more competitive than others.
Also remember that while acceptance rates can provide a snapshot of the competitiveness, they do not paint the complete picture. Rutgers University assesses applications holistically, considering academic rigor, GPA, extracurricular activities, and more, alongside test scores.
I hope this information was helpful and best of luck with your application!
