Our acceptance rate is way too high. That needs to be lowered significantly.
Applications and visits are increasing and increasing every year. In my lifetime, I have never seen this much interest from very good students. That being said, there are still quite a lot of the groups I mentioned before who don’t realize all we offer at all three campuses. I did not come up with the phrase, but to any potential students and their parents out there, Rutgers can be as small or as big as you want it to be.You want horses and piggies and woods and Rutgers Gardens,we have it at Cook, you want a suburban feel, we have it at Livingston and Busch including an on campus golf course,you want an urban campus environment, we have one each in Camden,Newark, and New Brunswick, and if girls are looking for an all girls campus that includes everything from a major State University and Big Ten school, we have that too. I don’t know if there is another university in the country that offers all of this.
