<p>although i had a 3.28 gpa, my grades were all over the place. last year, i happened to fail anatomy and physiology honors with a 57 and even though that's an elective that i didn't need to take senior year, i'm still pretty nervous. i got 87+ in the rest of my classes. sophomore year i had a 79 average in all my courses. frosh year i had an 81, junior year an 82, and senior year an 83. i was part of the ambassador's club which gives tours around my school & helps at events from soph-senior year, student government senior year, in the spanish club frosh sophomore and senior year, french club frosh junior and senior year, and i was on the swimming team sophomore year. i'm just really nervous and paranoid about whether i'm going to get in or not.</p>

<p>a list of my courses senior year: english 4 honors, italian 1, french 4 honors, anatomy and physiology honors, dance 1, astronomy, and trig and selected topics. i also just applied 2 days ago, and i wrote a 3800 word essay about my life experiences. idk if i applied too late.. ?</p>

<p>oh. and i took physics junior year, which i made up in summer school. i only passed with a 70 and it shows on my transcript. but that year i also took other rigorous classes, i never slacked in hs, i always took serious classes. </p>

<p>junior year i took: physics + lab, english, french 3 honors, algebra 2 honors (i got a 79), u.s. history 2, psychology (one semester), and html (one semester.)</p>

<p>sophomore year i took: english 2, geometry, chemistry, u.s. history 1, french 2, and phys. ed (which i don't think they care about).</p>

<p>frosh year i took: french 1, english 1, algebra 1, bio, world history, and phys ed.</p>

<p>since i went to a catholic school, i took religion. does that class matter?</p>

<p>and on my sat's i got a 640 on reading, 610 math, and 690 critical reading. i also took the sat ii's, which they don't look at, but college board is sending my scores anyway. in spanish, i got a 790, in french a 510 and chem a 450. i'm also a minority student but i don't think they'll even consider that.. and i do live in nj, i have all my life.</p>

<p>I don't think you have a really good shot...failing anatomy really ruled it out for me</p>

<p>since you're a in-state resident, i think you'll be ok. gpa on the low end, SATs on the high end, and you have more honors classes than most rutgers kids. you should have applied earlier though. good luck. </p>

<p>ps: don't stress out too much, really. a friend of mine just got in with a gpa that wasn't much higher, and around the same sat score.</p>

<p>...uh u failed an elective course?!?!</p>

5

<p>I think you'll be fine.</p>

6

<p>I think you'll be ok, New Brunswick might be a little(and even then some) of a stretch...but I would think pretty safe in Newark and Camden.
Since your an instater you should be pretty safe.</p>

<p>thanks so much, guys! i really appreciate the feedback.. anyone else?</p>

<p>and yeah, i failed anatomy, but it was an honors course that i didn't need to take. i'm just worried because it shows up on my transcript like every other class. however, it's one of the hardest courses in my school that very few students in my school take. out of 378 kids in my class, i was one of the 60 who did.</p>
