Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey - ABSN Spring 2024

Congrats to you all! I applied for Summer 2024 - was wondering how the process was for submitting documents? I submitted my CLEP exams (snail mail) and official transcripts (electronically) a while ago, but getting the admissions office to confirm they received everything is like pulling teeth. I also can't see on the Rutgers application. portal if they received any of it - there are no fields indicating anything for receipt of CLEP and official transcripts . Did you all experience the same thing?

My process for submitting docs was a little difficult because of my own error. I made a mistake and sent all of my transcripts to the wrong place so I had to resend them to Rutgers about 3 times. I was able to contact the admissions office by both email and phone over the course of about a week or so and got everything handled. I didn't take the CLEP so the only docs I had to submit were my transcripts. I would definitely try to email admissions because they typically got back to me the next day. Good luck!

Do we send official transcripts once we get a decision? I only saw upload unofficial transcripts option

No I also sent my official ones already - send them electronically to Rutgers

Congratulations on your acceptance, and to those who are still waiting for a decision, I hope you are accepted. My remaining pre-reqs will not be complete until the end of April so I cannot apply to the program yet. I graduated with a 2.9 GPA BUT my pre-req grades thus far are all A's. Do you think I should not waste my time applying due to my lower GPA?

It seems like they may have had some difficulty filling up the entire cohort this go around (hence why they kept postponing the admission deadline) so since you have all A's in your pre-reqs, it wouldn't hurt to apply. You seem to be a great candidate given that information. The only thing is that they do have a requirement that you should have at least a 3.3 GPA in your first degree. I would get in contact with their admissions department to ask them this question before applying and possibly wasting the $75 application fee.

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! I've been calling the dept all morning; however, no answer. In order to apply I'd have to take Gen Chem 2 or Bio Chem and retake Psych. It has been over 10 years. Bittersweet to know that it seems they may have had a tough time filling seats for the upcoming cohort. Hopefully it works in my favor when I apply.

They extended the deadline with no specific date. I'm beginning to think there are only few applicants for this cohort. Hopefully we accepted to this program ?

Hi, I'd like to apply for the Spring 2025 cohort and I am hoping they extend the deadline so I can start and begin a chemistry course online. The deadline is Oct 1 and I wouldn't be able to complete the course until probably mid October. I can't apply unless the course is complete. Do you remember how soon you learned that the application deadline was extended? I'm assuming you started your cohort by now. Was it full when you began? I'm sooo praying that the October 2024 application deadline gets extended for at least a month.
