7th Semester Grades Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University
1

<p>So I applied to Rutgers Early Decision at the end of October. My stats are:
-1810 SAT (-660 Math, 590 CR, 560 Writing)
-3.4 UW GPA, all honors classes and some AP classes
-Few ECs</p>

<p>I applied to SAS, RBS, and the engineering school, all in new brunswick.</p>

<p>My status was "In Process" for the longest time until last week in which all three of them changed to "7th Semester Grades Requested".</p>

<p>I think this was pretty unfair as I've seen tons of people who not only applied a month or two later than me, but they even had what seemed to be lower stats but they got in without a problem.</p>

<p>I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to get rejected but I'm curious as to what GPA would be needed to get in. I slacked off a bit during my senior year but I think my grades shouldn't be ridiculously low (I have 1 or 2 Bs and as of now 1 or 2 Cs but I'm hoping to get my Cs up to Bs within the next 2 -3 weeks before the first semester ends for me.)</p>

<p>Your SATs and GPA are both below the 25th percentile for accepted students for SOE and RBS. Applying before the Early Action deadline doesn’t give you a better chance of acceptance when your stats aren’t above average. You can look at the admissions statistics here.

<p>Personally I could care less about SOE or RBS, I just want to get into SAS. But I’m also curious as to why people with lower stats have gotten in without a problem.</p>

<p>I think they are considering you for RBS and Engineering so I would not worry about getting into SAS.</p>
