Regular decision deadline for Rutgers?

I'm planning to apply to Rutgers and I want to make sure I don't miss the regular decision deadline. Can someone share when the deadline is and if there are any tips for applying?

The regular decision deadline for Rutgers University is December 1st. Submitting your application by this date will ensure that it is considered for regular decision. You can start preparing your application well ahead of time to avoid last-minute stress.

In terms of application tips, first and foremost, you must give sufficient time to your essays. They are an opportunity for the admissions committee to understand you beyond your grades and test scores, making them crucial for your application. Make sure you put forth your genuine self, providing insights into your experiences, aspirations, and what you can bring to the college community. Remember that Rutgers does not consider demonstrated interest, so instead of focusing on why you love Rutgers, consider focusing on what you would add to the campus community.

Develop a solid resume outlining your extracurriculars, community services, part-time jobs, internships, etc. Remember, quantity does not always equate to quality. The admissions committee looks for students who are deeply engaged in a few areas, demonstrating passion and commitment.

Last but not least, make sure to have trusted individuals proofread your application and provide feedback. They can help you eliminate mistakes and enhance the quality of your application.

Please note that in order to apply to Rutgers University, you must use their own application system, available on their website, rather than the Common Application. Good luck!
