<p>You seem like a very well qualified individual. o.o Rutgers really looks at SAT scores and GPA, basically. And you're above the median so I'm pretty sure that IF there's any spots left in the freshman class, you'd be accepted if you applied to the School of Arts and Sciences. However, the programs that you're looking for might be a little more competitive, so I can't guarantee it 100%. I heard it's a numbers school. I've been accepted to Rutgers and I might be going there as a freshman next year, so I don't know everything exactly, but I live 10 minutes from the campus so I hear a lot about it. ^^</p>

<p>For scholarships, I doubt you'll get much, if anything. The priority deadline for scholarships was December 1st, and I sent in my application about 3 weeks after that, and I only got a 10k a year scholarship (SATS: 730 CR, 760 M, 790 W, 4.4 GAP w). Financial Aid deadlines already passed as well, so I'm not sure you'd get much coming from that area.</p>

<p>I hope this helped a little bit!! And Good luck with everything!</p>
