<p>My stats are low for the Business school. However, will I be able to get into the Business school because of my Entrepreneurial experience? I feel it is something that is very unique and obviously relevant to being accepted into a business school. My essay went into depth on my two biggest entrepreneurial successes and how those experiences will be the reason I succeed at Rutgers if accepted. My biggest concerns are my low GPA and no impressive course rigor throughout high school. I had a complex that I wasn't smart enough for Honors or AP classes and thus didn't apply myself into Junior year when it was too late.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? I have applied Early Action.</p>

<p>It’s a reach</p>

3

<p>Did you apply to the school, and with what stats?</p>

4

<p>No.
My good friend who is a junior there had the following stats, etc and he wasn’t sure he’d get in. His primary concern was his SAT score.</p>

<p>GPA U - 3.8
GPA W - 4.3
Rigorous course load
Class rank: top 10%
SAT - 1950
Lots of ECs and volunteering with leadership
No entrepreneurship though</p>

<p>Dude, I hope you make it but your asking for opinions here and I think its a reach</p>

<p>ArchLiving - please prove me wrong and post here if you get it, plus PM me in case I miss your post. Good luck.</p>

<p>Wow those are really good stats for the business school, he should have felt very comfortable. I’m in the bottom 25% of accepted applicants with my stats so I am aware it is a reach which hopefully my Business work can make up for. </p>

<p>Thanks for your input. I will PM you with the decision when I get it.</p>

7

<p>I got accepted with a 2010 SAT and a 3.7 weighted gpa. However, according to your stats, is say you’re a low reach or high match. Honestly, rutgers only
Looks at sat and gpa</p>

<p>@brian, this is something I hear people say all the time. Can you provide some sort of source of that?</p>

<p>Scroll down to page 7 (this is their common data set telling what they really consider; usually you’d see almost every category under Very Important or Important; when something is under Considered, it doesn’t play that big a role)</p>

<p>When did you apply to SAS, and when did you get your response</p>
