Chance Me?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

Hey guys! I am currently a senior 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. A lot of my friends, including my twin brother have heard back from Rutgers, but I have yet to hear anything. I am also in-state.

What are my chances of getting into Rutgers New Brunswick/my major/SAS?

I think you have a real good chance but at your earliest opportunity try to document a visit to the school. Actually register a visit where they have proof with your name that you showed up and demonstrated an interest in the school. This is a small part of what they will look at in your evaluations. I know you mentioned that you visited schools but I’m talking about documenting the visit. :slight_smile:

Sorry, I copied and pasted a post that I made a long time ago. I have visited the school and registered when I visited.

He said ‘admission’ notification and used an exclamation mark. I’m pretty sure he got in!
