I'm planning on applying to Rutgers and want to make sure I don’t miss any important deadlines. Can anyone share the key application dates for freshmen admissions?
Sure, as you plan your application to Rutgers University, it's always a good idea to keep on top of all pertinent deadlines. For the 2025-2026 academic year, the application timeline breaks down as follows:
1. Early Action Deadline: November 1, 2024. If you apply by this date, you'll receive your admission decision by January 31, 2025.
2. Regular Decision Deadline: December 1, 2024. The notification date is rolling, but you should have your decision by February 28, 2025, if you meet this deadline.
3. The last day to apply for admission is February 1, 2025. If you apply between December 2, 2024, and this date, decisions will be provided on a rolling basis as space permits.
In addition to these dates, there are important financial aid deadlines:
1. October 1, 2024: The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the Rutgers University Financial Aid Application both become available. Try to fill these out as soon as possible to ensure you get the most aid available to you.
2. The priority FAFSA submission date is January 15, 2025. Submitting by this date can increase your chances of receiving aid.
All these dates are based on the admissions cycle for the Fall 2025 semester, so if you're applying for a different academic period, please check the admissions page of the Rutgers University website for the most up-to-date information. Best of luck with your application process!
