Hey guys! I am currently a junior in high school from northern New Jersey attending one of the top public schools in the state. I am unsure about which schools to put on the top of my list, so I’d like some input. Once sports end for the school year, I am taking a trip to visit most of the colleges that I’ve heard are decent for the major I am interested in. I am interested in becoming a computer science major and I was recommended Rutgers by my guidance counselor. I’ve heard that their program is relatively new, but I am unsure and do not know much information about it.
I would be interested in applying ED if it would help my chances of getting a little bit of money.
What are my chances of getting into Rutgers New Brunswick/my major?
