OP, don’t go on threads. The Rutgers site shows 3.2 - 3.8 as the mid-50th percentile, for transfer to NB. What’s your actual gpa, including all of this year’s grades and the French?
The kid you quoted had multiple rejects from Rutgers and got in on a review, based on additional credits and better than 2.8. He claimed, at various points, that he had a rigorous schedule.
You don’t know what else thread kids did or how their apps came across.
Transfer apps were due Feb 1. So what will you do next school year, to make yourself a viable candidate?
