Editor's notes
- Don't send letters, and don't count on them. Rutgers doesn't use recommendations, so your activities section and your one essay are the only places to show who you are beyond grades. Rutgers says activities only count if they're entered in the application itself, so fill that section completely.
- Treat Nov. 1 as your deadline. Rutgers–Camden guarantees Early Action applicants a decision by Feb. 15, and later applicants risk being withdrawn if the school they chose fills up before their file is read.
