Chance Instate Average Student For Rutgers

<p>Very briefly... This will take a minute to read, so if you've got the time it'd be way appreciated! Could make a huge difference!</p>

<p>I'm in state for Rutgers. I don't have the worst resume in the world, but it's nothing spectacular. I'm your classic case of a bright kid who's just not good at high school. Hard for me to perform well in subjects I hate.</p>

<p>I'm now a senior at a rigorous Yeshiva high school with a dual curriculum - both Hebrew and English subjects. For the last 4 years I have been in the highest Hebrew tracks. I got mostly 80s but some 90s... and the occasional 70s.</p>

<p>I took several AP courses in my Junior Year: U.S. History, English Language, Art History. My results were: 5 in History, 5 in English, 4 in Art History.</p>

<p>My average GPA is an 83. My school doesn't weight so that's not factoring in my honors and AP courses.</p>

<p>My SAT score is a 1900: 520 math, 650 CR, 730 writing.</p>

<p>My SAT 2 scores are 720 in u.s. history and 670 in literature.</p>

<p>My extracurriculars include: school play for 2 years. Writing articles for various school literary publications: essays and poetry. I don't have leadership positions.</p>

<p>I don't have community service.</p>

<p>Outside of school, I maintain a personal blog, I've won various poetry awards, I play several instruments, I'm very politically active and write political articles on my blog regularly.</p>

<p>My essays are fantastic. I'm a great writer, plus my parents are divorced and a lot of other crap so I've got some "tough experiences" that I overcame. Good to write about for obvious reasons.</p>

<p>My recommendations will also be fantastic though I don't have them yet. They'll say something along the lines of me being very intellectually curious and genuinely interested in learning.</p>

<p>I'm terrible at math, so my math and science grades have hovered around low 70s.</p>

<p>Well, suppose that's it. Please help me out as I'm seriously considering Rutgers and unsure if I'll be accepted. Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m in the same exact position as you. I never really cared much for classes I didn’t enjoy. The only classes I’ve enjoyed in high school are Political/Legal studies, history classes and some business courses. It’s safe to say I studied once a month for a test throughout high school. I have a 3.3 gpa with a lot of extra curricular activities, volunteer work and a sport and I’m not even sure I will get in. I would say you have a better chance of being accepted than not being acccepted.</p>

<p>Your SATs are near the 70%ile. <a href=“http://oirap.rutgers.edu/instchar/Cds/NewBrunswickRegion10.pdf[/url]”>http://oirap.rutgers.edu/instchar/Cds/NewBrunswickRegion10.pdf&lt;/a&gt; All your ECs and recs are only considered.Looks like you might be a solid match.</p>
