Can I get into Rutgers New Brunswick?

<p>I have a 3.1 gpa, 1650 SAT, 1100 Critical Reading/Math SAT, 25 ACT, 5th percentile of my class.
I was the captain for my varsity soccer team, I start for varsity softball, I am in drama club, I am a Student Council Rep, I am in my church's youth group and on it's council, and I volunteer. So in other words I'm very involved. and I'm in state.
Rutgers is my top choice and Idk if its a huge reach or not.
What do you think?</p>

<p>of course you can!..you have pretty good stats for rutgers!
:)</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. :slight_smile:
And just some more info.
I want to major in Environmental Design/Landscape Archtiecture.
I’ve already talked to a professor in the major.
I have taken CAD all four years of high school and have never gotten less than a 90 in the class. I have also taken two years of art and I am currently in a Software Applications class where I learn how to use photoshop and computer programs.
I don’t if that helps.</p>

<p>i would say you have a pretty good chance of getting in.
do you live in the state of new jersey?
i recently applied, about 3 hours before the dec 1st deadline actually, and i already heard back from 2 campuses. if you live in NJ, rutgers will accept you if you have a pulse.
you seem to have pretty good stats for rutgers nb.
best of luck!</p>

<p>yeah, I live in New Jersey.
My friend just got accepted but she applied later than me so it’s getting me worried.</p>

<p>I think you should should get in as long as you took hard classes cause your gpa n sat are kinda low but your in state so you still have a good chance but rutgers is getting harder to get into every year. But on the other hand my school also in nj has like over 300 accepted each year basically the whole class applies n gets in. Soo goodluck with rutgers.</p>

<p>Your decision could just be taking longer because of the major/program you’re applying to. Most of my friends sent in their apps around the same time but have been getting decisions back seemingly randomly.</p>

<p>And I think the major thing that will concern Rutgers is that you’re in the 5th percentile. That could negatively affect your chances if they look at rank.</p>

<p>I think you will definitely get in. my friend had much lower stats than you and not even half the involvement. she waited two months but she got in :slight_smile: don’t worry</p>

<p>please chance me?</p>

<p>Please chance me for any or all of these schools. I was already accepted to Rutgers CAS Honors Program. </p>
