Rutgers University-Newark

Rutgers–Newark is a distinct campus with its own admissions, its own Common Data Set and its own English thresholds, not a satellite of New Brunswick — and the differences matter. It is test blind: SAT and ACT are not used in regular admission decisions at all, the only such policy across fourteen universities catalogued so far, so a Kazakh applicant with strong scores gains nothing by submitting them and one without loses nothing. Business dominates the degrees conferred at 39.9%, with biological sciences at 12.8% and criminal justice and protective services at 10.9%; there is no engineering at Newark, which sits at New Brunswick. Institutional aid to international students is non-need-based only and thinly spread — 31 recipients averaging USD 7,467 against non-resident tuition of USD 36,831. Students on F-1 visas pay the non-New Jersey rate and also owe a Rutgers SEVIS administration fee of USD 500 on top of the published figures.
