I'm applying to Rutgers New Brunswick under regular decision and I'm curious about when I might hear back. Does anyone have experience with how long they generally take or what the timeline typically looks like?
Rutgers University - New Brunswick typically releases regular decision notifications in a rolling manner starting from late-February, with the majority coming out in March. That means the sooner you submit your application, the sooner you could potentially hear back from them. However, all decision notifications are usually sent by April 1st.
Once decisions start coming out, you'll receive an email alerting you to check your status on Rutgers' online portal. So, it's a good practice to periodically check both your email and Rutgers' portal during March. Remember that the admissions process for every university can vary slightly from year to year based on a variety of factors, so these timelines are just generally speaking.
