<p>Maybe. You're definitely good enough for in-state...not sure about oos...BUT out-of-stater money does help Rutgers out a lot...mostly just to pay for the football coach's salary >:C ... so that may help you out.</p>

<p>So yeah. I don't know! Admissions is going to be harder this year (not only because of the popular football team, but because of the rising academic standards in the past few years...a trend common to most of the top 100 universities -- which means the best schools get better and the worst get worse...but I digress...). I think you may be borderline. Apply early! Like, by the end of this week. I'm not even joking.</p>

<p>If you manage to pull at least a 1200 on your SAT's, I think you're pretty much in.</p>
