The 2020 Rutgers fall application is open.
RU-N will waive the SAT/ACT test requirement for high school seniors applying to the fall 2020 semester due to cancellations/rescheduling of tests surrounding COVID-19.
Standardized Tests Now Optional for 2021 Applicants
Due to the uncertainty of future test dates and availability of standardized tests, Rutgers will make submission of SAT and ACT test scores optional for students applying for spring or fall 2021 admission.
