    OT: New Jersey residents express broad-based positive opinions of Rutgers University

    Statistics would tell you legacy enrollments lead to 50% higher donations vs. non legacy, so it does matter in the real world. While I am 100% for meritocracy in society and think we have probably strayed too far in the opposite direction the last 5+ years or so, that is an idealistic world...

    OT: New Jersey residents express broad-based positive opinions of Rutgers University

    We did but to be honest, we didn't find our very value added from a strategic perspective. I think they are great as a buffer between you and your kids because it seems the kids take the same messaging better from a 3rd party vs. directly from their parents, but they seem to take the path of...

    OT: New Jersey residents express broad-based positive opinions of Rutgers University

    I have sanitized parts of my story for public consumption. The finer details would have everyone shaking their heads. More and more public schools are reserving 80-90% of their slots for in state students, which makes total sense to me. At UT while being in the top 6% guarantees you entry into...

    OT: New Jersey residents express broad-based positive opinions of Rutgers University

    I will say President Tate, by all accounts, totally gets this and sees the importance of creating a more welcoming legacy environment. Too late for me and my family, but it sounds like he really “gets it” on a variety of topics these boards have been debating for the 20+ years I have been...

    OT: New Jersey residents express broad-based positive opinions of Rutgers University

    Def not the case (in general....always exceptions I guess). My oldest daughter, had all the grades & scores, etc. I have given 7 figures cumulatively to Rutgers and it did no good (and the powers that be knew she was applying because I made those calls). She got into a number of schools...

    This is 100% false (can speak from personal experience) historically, however sounds like the new president has a different view of this and could see a shift in legacy admits going forward. It certainly does impact donations. I used to be a donor, but given the experience I had w/Rutgers, my...

    Park City RU watch

    No Name is great, but will be a total sh*t show trying to get in....this month is nuts in Park City. Boneyard Saloon is a locals place just outside downtown that's very good and won't have to deal with the BS if your looking for good food, beers and TVs

    OT: Tokyo

    Been there like 40 times for work and I find it a very hard place to get out and do things unless those things are eating and drinking. I would have recommended to go see the tuna auctions at the Tsukiji market, but it recently closed. The only real sightseeing things are the Imperial Palace...
