You’re egyptian? So am i, as-salaam-alaikum. I applied for fall 2017 as a transfer to NB SAS and was rejected today, did you look to see? I had a 3.0 gpa my first semester of college last fall. Im still waiting on Newark CAS hopefully I will get in
It’s all good, good luck to you also. So for your chances… it really is just your gpa that might raise some eyebrows… but your SAT scores are great, and everything else is good too. I read online of people getting in with 2.8 GPA’s so you SHOULD be fine… thing is NB is really strict, probably for a major like political science. How did you do in history related classes in high school?
Also what other schools in Rutgers did you apply for?
I got mostly high Bs and low As in my history classes and currently have an A in a law class that Im taking. I also applied to the school of engineering and the rutgers business school
