    APC vs Green Hoops Parking

    There wasn't one game that I went to last year where the vip lot or the green lot was close to being full. We get to a lot of games after tip because of my kid's after school activities and the vip lot and the green lot were never close to being full last year. Last night we got there right...

    So glad that they tied it up but that was a stupid foul to get the red card. So blatant.

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    Just replying to the statement that the RU issue is proximity. That is only an issue for some kids since so many choose schools that are not too far from home. I do agree that RU has had crappy marketing. The different campuses is a deal breaker for a lot of people. In reality, they should...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    Agree that they are very different types of schools. The point is that state schools in the southeast, Texas and West have always attracted the best and brightest students in their area. The state schools in the northeast have not. The Midwest is a mixed bag, but state schools in the big ten...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    Proximity may be an issue for some kids that want to get away, but there are plenty of NJ kids applying to schools like NYU, Lehigh, Lafayette, Bucknell, Fordham that may be a similar distance from home. I feel that the number of options within 4-5 hours is more of an issue for RU. Lots of...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    For a lot of kids in NJ, Rutgers is not an aspirational school. RU hasn't really had to work hard at getting quality students because NJ is so densely populated. There are lots of in state students to fill each class. Many top NJ students would not even apply to RU. At least your daughter and...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    As other posters said, acceptance rate is a big factor for the kids in determining the prestige of a school. Now that SAT/ACT is not a factor at so many schools, it is probably a bigger factor. Lack of SAT/ACT also increases the applicant pool from students who have good grades but are not...

    OT: Applications for Rutgers NB have increased almost 40% for Fall 2024

    It is positive when the parochial school kids are paying attention. I went to catholic school and only 3 of us in my class went to RU. Rutgers has not been am aspirational school, especially for private school kids. The increased rankings and lower acceptance rate from increased common app...

    They don't know what the yield will be with the increase in apps. I would guess that they waitlist more students to see how the yield shakes out.

    Common App has makes it easier to apply. Test optional schools may also getting more applications from students with good grades but not high test scores. NJ is a densely populated state so Rutgers can fill freshman classes with well qualified in state students. A school like Alabama gives...
